I do populate GoodTillDate with "now+15 minutes" when using "SNAP MID" order type (for products w\o RT data subscription), and if it doesn't fill the system will just try again.
They do not. I have an Sniper Executor and it keeps replacing the order until is finally filled after some tlme
With Snap market orders you set a spread to the current ask (if you are buying) and it uses the real time ask even if you are using delayed quotes. So if you use an execution algo that works with limit orders you can tweak it to work with spreads to the market ask instead of plain prices. I assume it is as good as having real time, but I can't know because you can't really compute any meaningful execution metrics without real time
I'm appearing on TTU this week (recording on Thursday). Please send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.com Rob
Hi, How do you manage intraday adverse price movement risk while running a daily system? Also how to manage overnight gap risk for futures instruments which trade only 6 hours a day? For the first question, If we generate signals based on volatility and return forecasts, n times a day, then we will have to run dynamic optimisation n times a day and then we can use the buffering approach you mentioned. I have no idea for the second question.
Can you also please answer the following question. Let's say I want to trade directional strategies but instead of using futures, I want to use options (depending on forecast strength a mixture of short options and long options. For example, if extremely strong capped trend forecast, 50% long options and 50% short options, if extremely strong carry forecast, 100% short option). What are the pros and cons of this? Some of the things that I can think of will happen are.. 1. If I want delta 1/-1 exposure continuously, I might have to keep rolling to different strike prices which might increase transaction costs. 2. I don't want to hedge vega risk( want to profit from IV crush and theta decay). 3. Is theta decay on those options similar to carry strategies? 4. I am aware of Variance Risk Premium present in equity index options. Is it present in commodities options on futures,currency options, interest rate options,etc ?
