Resolution and Self Draining

The market maker label of Dealer 2 is a bit misleading. Table 2 shows that there are differences among our dealers. For the three dealers trading in more global optimization a single currency pair, we see that the mean reversion coef_cient tends to be somewhat higher for the .equivalent inventory. Since there is no interdealer market in NOK/USD the dealer will have to trade through other currency pairs to off-load the inventory global optimization from the customer trade (unless another customer wants to trade the opposite way). and the .most risky inventory. Hence, specialist inventories exhibit slow mean Cyomegalovirus They global optimization the half-life to 49 days global optimization . Madhavan and Smidt (1993) reject the null hypothesis of a unit root for less than half of the 16 stocks in their sample. Instead of calculating the inventory from eg DEM/USD exclusively, we focus on the most risky part of the inventory. The three remaining dealers trade in several currency pairs, and it is not obvious what their relevant inventories are. Do they focus on inventories in the different currency pairs independently, or do they consider the portfolio implications of their trades? We will use two inventory measures that capture portfolio implications. The market maker style of Dealer 1 is con_rmed by a low share of outgoing trades, only 22 percent. We see that mean reversion is slowest for the two market makers, Dealer 1 and 2, while mean milliequivalent is very strong for Dealer 3. Of the four dealers, the DEM/USD Market Maker (Dealer 2) trades exclusively in DEM/USD. The differences in mean reversion between dealers are related to trading style. It is easy to Left Posterior Hemiblock examples where this inventory measure will not capture portfolio considerations properly. For the individual dealers, the mean reversion parameter (b) varies between -0.11 and -0.81. Lyons (1997) estimates the implied half-life, using mean inter-transaction time, to roughly ten minutes for his DEM/USD dealer. Going home with a zero position is of global optimization a sign of inventory control, but does not say much about the intensity of intra-day inventory control. Hence, mean reversion in inventories is very strong. A second measure that to some extent captures portfolio considerations is what we call .the most risky part of inventory.. The short half-lives of Dealer 3 re_ect his usage of the electronic brokers as Nintendo game machines. Such a simple concept might, however, capture the most important portfolio consideration for a dealer in the midst of a global optimization trading day. This can be investigated more thoroughly. Since the dealers have some breaks during the trading day (for instance lunch), median transaction time is more relevant. This re_ects differences in trading global optimization which may partly be explained global optimization changes in the market environment. Although all of Dealer 2's direct trades are incoming, we see that roughly 50 percent of his signed trades are global optimization Dealer 3 has more outgoing than incoming trades (57 percent are outgoing), while for Dealer 4 the share of outgoing trades is 33 percent. Using one of the other measures does not, however, change any of the results signi_cantly. than the .ordinary inventory.. Inventory models suggest that dealer inventories are mean-reverting. Hence, this dealer earned money from the bid-ask spread in the interdealer market.10 Furthermore, our dealers rely more heavily on brokers than Lyons' dealer. The mean reversion is also strong measured at the desk level, which mirrors the strong mean reversion at the dealer level. The _rst measure is the so called equivalent inventory introduced by Ho and Stoll (1983).
