Applying AI and Machine Learning methodologies to the optimization of algorithmic trading parameters

June 2023 in Previous Features

Quod Financial recently published a Whitepaper exploring the growing interest in AI and Machine Learning for use in trading and execution purposes across the Capital Markets. One specific area that was examined focused on the reasons why the Execution Management System was a particularly good candidate for deploying AI and ML. In this article we publish an extract from the Whitepaper looking at the potential applications of these new technologies for optimising algo trading parameters in the EMS space.

In most advanced EMSes, the behaviour of benchmark and SOR algorithms is managed via a large number of parameters (instead of hard-coded). In Quod Financial EMS, for example, there are over 100 parameters to manage a single trading algorithm. An example of a parameter is “Level of Aggressivity”. This is defined as the amount of liquidity that a trader wants to “destroy” during the execution. The aggressivity takes into account, for a given instrument (i.e.currency), the available liquidity but also In most advanced EMSes, the behaviour of benchmark and SOR algorithms is managed via a large number of parameters (instead of hard-coded).
