Dynamical models of market impact and algorithms for order execution

J Gatheral, A Schied - Handbook on Systemic Risk, Jean-Pierre …, 2013 - papers.ssrn.com
In this review article, we present recent work on the regularity of dynamical market impact
models and their associated optimal order execution strategies. In particular, we address the …

Optimal trade execution under geometric Brownian motion in the Almgren and Chriss framework

J Gatheral, A Schied - … Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance, 2011 - World Scientific
With an alternative choice of risk criterion, we solve the HJB equation explicitly to find a
closed-form solution for the optimal trade execution strategy in the Almgren–Chriss …

Optimal trade execution: a mean quadratic variation approach

PA Forsyth, JS Kennedy, ST Tse, H Windcliff - Journal of Economic …, 2012 - Elsevier
We propose the use of a mean quadratic variation criteria to determine an optimal trading
strategy in the presence of price impact. We derive the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) …

Optimal trading with stochastic liquidity and volatility

R Almgren - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2012 - SIAM
We consider the problem of mean-variance optimal agency execution strategies, when the
market liquidity and volatility vary randomly in time. Under specific assumptions for the …

Order book resilience, price manipulation, and the positive portfolio problem

A Alfonsi, A Schied, A Slynko - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2012 - SIAM
The viability of a market impact model is usually considered to be equivalent to the absence
of price manipulation strategies. By analyzing a model with linear instantaneous, transient …

Optimal trade execution and absence of price manipulations in limit order book models

A Alfonsi, A Schied - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2010 - SIAM
We analyze the existence of price manipulation and optimal trade execution strategies in a
model for an electronic limit order book with nonlinear price impact and exponential …

General intensity shapes in optimal liquidation

O Guéant, CA Lehalle - Mathematical Finance, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The classical literature on optimal liquidation, rooted in Almgren–Chriss models, tackles the
optimal liquidation problem using a trade‐off between market impact and price risk. It …

Multi-asset Optimal Execution and Statistical Arbitrage Strategies under Ornstein--Uhlenbeck Dynamics

P Bergault, F Drissi, O Guéant - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2022 - SIAM
In recent years, academics, regulators, and market practitioners have increasingly
addressed liquidity issues. Among the numerous problems addressed, the optimal …

Reinforcement learning for optimal execution when liquidity is time-varying

A Macrì, F Lillo - arxiv preprint arxiv:2402.12049, 2024 - arxiv.org
Optimal execution is an important problem faced by any trader. Most solutions are based on
the assumption of constant market impact, while liquidity is known to be dynamic. Moreover …

Option pricing and hedging with execution costs and market impact

O Guéant, J Pu - Mathematical finance, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
This paper considers the pricing and hedging of a call option when liquidity matters, that is,
either for a large nominal or for an illiquid underlying asset. In practice, as opposed to the …
