| Abstract: | In investment banking, "Algorithmic trading" (here as: A-T.), that is, computerized trading controlled by algorithms, has got a fashionable term. This paper explores a set of Xetra order data to find traces of A-T. by studying the lifetimes of cancelled orders. There are systematic patterns found in the submission and cancellation of certain Xetra orders, indicating the activity of A-T. The trading patterns observed might be interpreted as fishing for profitable roundtrips. |
