A lot of academic and theoretical works have been dedicated to optimal liquidation of large orders these last twenty years. The optimal split of an order through time (“optimal trade scheduling”) and space (“smart order routing”) is of high interest for practitioners because of the increasing complexity of the market micro structure since recent evolutions of regulations and liquidity worldwide. This article is translating in quantitative terms these regulatory issues and more broadly the current market design. It confronts the recent advances in optimal trading, order-book simulation and optimal liquidity seeking to the reality of trading in an emerging global network of liquidity. 1 Market micro-structure modelling and payoff understanding are key elements of quantitative trading As it is widely known, optimal (or quantitative) trading is about finding the proper balance between providing liquidity to minimise the impact of the trades, and consuming liquidity to minimise the market risk exposure, while taking profit of potential instantaneous trading signals, supposed to be triggered by liquidity inefficiencies. The mathematical framework required to solve this kind of optimisation needs a model of the consequences of the different ways to interact with liquidity (like a market impact model [Almgren et al., 2005] [Wyart et al., 2008] [Gatheral, 2010]), a proxy for the “market risk” (the most natural of them being the high frequency volatility [Aı̈t-Sahalia and Jacod, 2007, Zhang et al., 2005, Robert and Rosenbaum, 2011]) and a model to quantify the likelihood of the liquidity state of the market [Bacry et al., 2009, Cont et al., 2010]. A utility function allows then to consolidate these different effects with respect to the goal of the trader: minimising the impact of large trades under price, duration and volume constraints (typical for brokerage trading [Almgren and Chriss, 2000]), providing as liquidity as possible under inventory constraints (typical for marketmakers [Avellaneda and Stoikov, 2008] or [Lehalle-Gueant-Frenandez]), or following a belief on the trajectory of the market (typical of arbitrageurs [Lehalle, 2009]). ∗Global Head of Quantitative Research (clehalle@cheuvreux.com), Crédit Agricole Cheuvreux 9 Quai Paul Doumer, Paris-La Defense, France
