Price Impact in Closing Auctions, Opening Auctions, and Continuous Markets: A Benchmark for Cost of Trading on Anomalies
研究发现收盘拍卖的价格冲击低于连续市场(纳斯达克微型股除外),开盘拍卖流动性差;基于盈利和投资等财务比率的异常策略在收盘拍卖中的年化交易成本为9-21个基点(不含微型股)。
Abstract Closing auctions account for about 10% of daily trading volume and offer a potentially attractive alternative to trading in the continuous market. We find that the price impact is lower in closing auctions than in the continuous market for all stocks except Nasdaq microcaps. Opening auctions are illiquid. We compute trading costs for anomalies based strategies by strategically placing orders in the lower cost mechanism. The annualized trading costs for long/short portfolios based on financial ratios such as profitability and investment range from 17 to 41 basis points (bps). Excluding microcaps, these costs fall to 9–21 bps in closing auctions.
