Optimal Orderläggning med Markovmodeller av Orderböcker (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

We study optimal order placement in a limit order book. By modelling the limit order book dynamics as a Markov chain, we can frame the purchase of a single share as a Markov Decision Process. Within the framework of the model, we can estimate optimal decision policies numerically. The trade rate is varied using a running cost control variable. The optimal policy is found to result in a lower cost of trading as a function of the trade rate compared to a market order only strategy.

Abstract [sv]

Vi studerar optimal orderläggning i en limit orderbok. Genom att modellera dynamiken av inkommande ordrar som en Markov kedja så kan vi formula optimal orderläggning som en Markov Decision Process. Inom ramverket av modellen så kan vi skatta optimala strategier numeriskt. En löpande kostnad används som en kontrollvariabel för handelstakten av den optimala strategin. Vi finner att den optimala strategin resulterar i en lägre handelskostnad som funktion av deltagande jämfört med en marknadsorder strategi.
