In this paper, the vector autoregressive model is fitted to find out the causal relationship among realized volatility, the
number of transactions and volume with the intraday time intervals of 10, 20 and 30 min. To understand the impact of shock
to the market on specific variables, a multivariate Impulse Response Function analysis is also introduced to visualize the
causal relationship among the variables. From the analysis of a stock listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, we find that
realized volatility reacts positively to the lagged average trade size. However, the realized volatility forms a negative
relationship with the first few lagged number of trades. As a result, the intraday causal relationship among realized volatility,
volume and the number of trades is quite different from that obtained on a daily basis. The findings of this paper can enhance
the understanding of how the number of trades and the average trade size per transaction affect the risk evolution of financial
securities and thus improve the risk management of day trading strategies. 相似文献

This paper takes a new look at the relation between volume and realized volatility. In contrast to prior studies, we decompose realized volatility into two major components: a continuously varying component and a discontinuous jump component. Our results confirm that the number of trades is the dominant factor shaping the volume–volatility relation, whatever the volatility component considered. However, we also show that the decomposition of realized volatility bears on the volume–volatility relation. Trade variables are positively related to the continuous component only. The well-documented positive volume–volatility relation does not hold for jumps. 相似文献

This study investigates whether intraday returns contain important information for forecasting daily volatility. Whereas in the existing literature volatility models for daily returns are improved by including intraday information such as the daily high and low, volume, the number of trades, and intraday returns, here the volatility of intraday returns is explicitly modelled. Daily volatility forecasts are constructed from multiple volatility forecasts for intraday intervals. It is shown for the DEM/USD and the YEN/USD exchange rates that this results in superior forecasts for daily volatility. 相似文献

We study trading in option strategies in the FTSE-100 index market. Trades in option strategies represent around 37% of the total number of trades and over 75% of the total trading volume in our sample. We find some evidence that order flow in volatility–sensitive option strategies contains information about future realized volatility. We do not find evidence that order flow in directionally–sensitive option strategies contains information about future returns. Overall, our evidence suggests that option strategies are used both by traders who possess non-public information about future volatility and by uninformed speculators who appear to follow unprofitable trend chasing strategies. 相似文献

Long memory in volatility and trading volume 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We use fractionally-integrated time-series models to investigate the joint dynamics of equity trading volume and volatility. Bollerslev and Jubinski (1999) show that volume and volatility have a similar degree of fractional integration, and they argue that this evidence supports a long-run view of the mixture-of-distributions hypothesis. We examine this issue using more precise volatility estimates obtained using high-frequency returns (i.e., realized volatilities). Our results indicate that volume and volatility both display long memory, but we can reject the hypothesis that the two series share a common order of fractional integration for a fifth of the firms in our sample. Moreover, we find a strong correlation between the innovations to volume and volatility, which suggests that trading volume can be used to obtain more precise estimates of daily volatility for cases in which high-frequency returns are unavailable. 相似文献

Do Retail Trades Move Markets? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We study the trading of individual investors using transactiondata and identifying buyer- or seller-initiated trades. We documentfour results: (1) Small trade order imbalance correlates wellwith order imbalance based on trades from retail brokers. (2)Individual investors herd. (3) When measured annually, smalltrade order imbalance forecasts future returns; stocks heavilybought underperform stocks heavily sold by 4.4 percentage pointsthe following year. (4) Over a weekly horizon, small trade orderimbalance reliably predicts returns, but in the opposite direction;stocks heavily bought one week earn strong returns the subsequentweek, while stocks heavily sold earn poor returns. 相似文献

This article examines the price formation process during dividend announcement day, using daily closing prices and transactions data. We find that the unconditional positive excess returns, first documented by Kalay and Loewenstein (1985) , are higher for small-firm and low-priced stocks. Price volatility and trading volume also increase during this period. Examination of trade prices relative to the bid-ask spread and volume of trades at bid and asked prices shows that the excess returns cannot be attributed to measurement errors or to spillover effects of tax-related ex-day trading. Rather, the price behavior is related to the absorption of dividend information. 相似文献

Using UK stock market data this study unveils positive abnormal returns on and around the ex-split date. These excess returns are partially predictable using the publicly available information prior to the ex-split date. There is also a persistent increase in the post-split volatility of these stocks with the results being robust to the choice of the volatility proxy. Post-split volatility is found to be positively related to trading activity. Contrary to the US findings, volatility dynamics following the stock split are better captured by changes in the daily trading volume rather than by the number of trades. 相似文献

We investigate the impact of trading halts of NYSE-listed stocks on informationally related securities that continue to trade during the period of the halt. Informational relationships are established for companies in the same four-digit SIC industry based on the correlation of returns, volume, volatility, and the adverse selection components of spreads. We find a significant liquidity impact on informationally related securities with spreads and price impact of trades having substantial increases. However, we also find that quoted depths, the number of trades, and trade volume significantly increase. Our results are consistent with the trading halt model of Spiegel and Subrahmanyam [2000. Asymmetric information and news disclosure rules. Journal of Financial Intermediation 9, 363–403] and with the informed trading model of Tookes [2008. Information, trading, and product market interactions: cross-sectional implications of informed trading. Journal of Finance 63, 379–413]. In addition, our results indicate that there is a common liquidity response of informationally related securities to firm-specific trading halts. 相似文献

This study follows the approach of Ni et al. [Ni, S.X., Pan, J., Poteshman, A.M., 2008. Volatility information trading in the option market. Journal of Finance 63, 1059–1091] – based upon the vega-weighted net demand for volatility – to determine whether volatility information exists within the Taiwan options market. Our empirical results show that foreign institutional investors possess the strongest and most direct volatility information, which is realized by the delta-neutral options/futures trades. In addition, a few individual investors (less than 1% of individuals’ trades) might be informed and realize their volatility information using the strangle strategy. Surprisingly, we find no evidence to support the predictive ability of the volatility demand from straddle trades, despite the widespread acknowledgement that such trades are sensitive to volatility. 相似文献

Previous research identifies a causal relationship between returns and trading volume. But volume has two components: number of trades and number of shares per trade. In this paper the relationship between each of these volume components and returns is examined and the number of trades is found to be the dominant component. Results show that return activity in a period is associated with the level of trading frequency in a subsequent period and also with the number of shares in a subsequent period. This is consistent with small traders reacting to returns while professional traders largely ignore previous returns in their trading. 相似文献

In this paper, we examine the relationship between volume and return volatility using the transaction data. We introduce transaction and volume imbalance measures to capture the information content of trades. These two information measures are shown to have a strong explanatory power for return volatility and contain incremental information about the asset values over and above that conveyed by the size and frequency of trades. Also, return volatility is significantly correlated with the percentage of trading volume taking place at NYSE. This result suggests that NYSE trades are more informative and contribute more to price discovery. There is evidence that price discovery concentrates in more heavily traded stocks, particularly the Dow Jones Stocks. Finally, return volatility is found to be persistent at the intraday level. The persistence level is higher for less frequently traded stocks. Return volatility also exhibits temporal variations. In particular, return volatility is significantly higher in the opening half-hour for less frequently traded stocks. Thus, stocks with different frequencies of trades may follow different volatility processes. 相似文献

The Impact of Trades on Daily Volatility 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
This article proposes a trading-based explanation for the asymmetriceffect in daily volatility of individual stock returns. Previousstudies propose two major hypotheses for this phenomenon: leverageeffect and time-varying expected returns. However, leveragehas no impact on asymmetric volatility at the daily frequencyand, moreover, we observe asymmetric volatility for stocks withno leverage. Also, expected returns may vary with the businesscycle, that is, at a lower than daily frequency. Trading activityof contrarian and herding investors has a robust effect on therelationship between daily volatility and lagged return. Consistentwith the predictions of the rational expectation models, thenon-informational liquidity-driven (herding) trades increasevolatility following stock price declines, and the informed(contrarian) trades reduce volatility following stock priceincreases. The results are robust to different measures of volatilityand trading activity. (JEL C30, G11, G12) 相似文献

This study utilized high frequency transactions data to analyze the trade size preference of informed traders in Indian equity markets. It is observed that informed traders at an aggregate level adopt stealth trading strategy, wherein they prefer medium sized trades over large sized trades in order to camouflage their private information. However, the stealth trading behavior varies across stocks, wherein informed traders prefer more large sized trades on firms that are part of an index compared to non-index firms. Trading behavior also varies across other market conditions. It has been noted that informed traders prefer large sized trades during periods of high market thickness, negative returns, and low volatility. This study also provides a rationale for such varied behavior of informed traders. 相似文献

Many theoretical papers suggest that large informed traders should make misleading or random trades to disguise their trading. Alternatively, informed traders may trade purely on their estimate of stock value. This paper examines the trading behavior of a large institutional insider that periodically trades in the wrong direction, i.e., makes occasional sell (buy) trades within packages of buy (sell) trades. Using a hand-collected data set, we find that three quarters of the trade packages include wrong-direction trades. Wrong trades appear to be used mostly to disguise right-direction trades. We find that the wrong-trade stocks are larger and have less noisy returns, hence, they lack natural disguise. Wrong trades are relatively small, used to accentuate return volatility, distributed evenly during a package of trades, and are not consistently profitable. 相似文献

In this study, we use both quote and trade data for the FTSE-100 futures for 2001–2004 in order to examine asymmetric volatility in the context of extreme sells. We define extreme sells as ask quotes that involve large percentages of total depth, selling orders executed at prices much closer to bids than to asking prices, and consecutive sell-initiated trades. Sell trades tend to demand higher liquidity than buys, while extreme trading conditions demand more liquidity than non-extreme ones. In extreme sells, liquidity demand surpasses supply. We show that asymmetric liquidity (quote demand vs. supply) better explains the asymmetric volatility observed in high-frequency data than trade information does. Ask-depth share plays a dominant role in asymmetric volatility, while order flow (sell-initiated volume share) makes a far smaller contribution. 相似文献

The trading mechanism for equities on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) stands in sharp contrast to the primary mechanisms used to trade stocks in the United States. In the United States, exchange-designated specialists have affirmative obligations to provide continuous liquidity to the market. Specialists offer simultaneous and tight quotes to both buy and sell and supply sufficient liquidity to limit the magnitude of price changes between consecutive transactions. In contradistinction, the TSE has no exchange-designated liquidity suppliers. Instead, liquidity is provided through a public limit order book, and liquidity is organized through restrictions on maximum price changes between trades that serve to slow down trading. In this article, we examine the efficacy of the TSE's trading mechanisms at providing liquidity. Our analysis is based on a complete record of transactions and best-bid and best-offer quotes for most stocks in the First Section of the TSE over a period of 26 months. We study the size of the bid-ask spread and its cross-sectional and intertemporal stability; intertemporal patterns in returns, volatility, volume, trade size, and the frequency of trades; and market depth based on the response of quotes to trades and the frequency of trading halts and warning quotes. 相似文献

This study suggests a novel approach for decomposing net options demands into the options order imbalances with and without volatility risk. By analyzing a high-frequency index futures and options dataset, we examine the information content of (i) the direction-motivated order imbalance induced by a single option type, which is exposed to volatility risk, and (ii) that constructed by both calls and puts, which is vega-neutral. The aggregate options order imbalance does not convey information after controlling for futures market trading. However, the intraday options order imbalance by trading without volatility risk significantly predicts spot index returns, though its longer-horizon forecasting ability is relatively weak because of a possible cross-market hedging effect. The predictive abilities of informed foreigners’ trades and out-of-the-money options trading are prominent. Our empirical results suggest that the vega-neutral options trading conveys additional information distinct from the futures order imbalance. 相似文献

We investigate the trading behavior and liquidity supply of Chinese initial public offerings (IPOs) that trade in an order‐driven market system with pure limit order books where no market makers or price support is allowed. We find large trades and quoted depths dominate the first day of trading, but this pattern quickly reverses as small trades and quoted depths are more prevalent on subsequent trading days. Quoted depths are positively related to the number of shares offered in the IPO and trade size, but are negatively related to underpricing. Trade size and transaction immediacy are positively related, and large and positive (negative) order imbalance is associated with more aggressive buys (sells). Finally, long‐run performance is not related to initial order imbalance. Overall, our results suggest that despite underwriters not participating in the IPO aftermarket, liquidity provision evolves very quickly and price discovery is immediately reflected in prices. 相似文献

Market Sidedness: Insights into Motives for Trade Initiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We infer motives for trade initiation from market sidedness. We define trading as more two-sided (one-sided) if the correlation between the number of buyer- and seller-initiated trades increases (decreases), and assess changes in sidedness (relative to a control sample) around events that identify trade initiators. Consistent with asymmetric information, trading is more one-sided before merger news. Consistent with belief heterogeneity, trading is more two-sided before earnings and macro announcements with greater dispersion in analyst forecasts, and after news with larger announcement surprises. We examine the codeterminacy of sidedness, bid-ask spread, volatility, number of trades, and order imbalance. 相似文献
