5 Big Picture: Our HFT Research Agenda! Replicate common HFT strategies o Market making o Pairs trading and statistical arbitrage o Main research questions:! What are the strategy performance and risk characteristics?! How do these depend on parameters such as latency, rebates, trading venues?! How are different strategies correlated?! Back testing methodologies in HFT o Many challenges: rebates, market impact, timestamp issue, simulation of trade execution (market orders, limit orders)! Market impact models for HFT!

6 This Project (1/2): Overview! How we got into doing this project! Main questions that we are interested in: o Are news data & information useful for intraday trading? o Do (all) stocks react to (all) news releases? o How quickly do stock prices react to news releases? Some preliminary & partial answers:! Stocks show and quick reaction to news (often in the order of minutes or less)! Useful for intraday trading! Stocks react to news releases, but they do not seem to react (impact/magnitude) in the same way (of different types of news)! TRADING ON NEWS INTRA-DAY: EARLY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCES, VER. 9/27/2012. P. KOLM 6
7 This Project (2/2): Disclaimers! Research study is very preliminary! We have only been working with Ravenpack news data for a few weeks o There are many signals / modifications that we have not had a chance to look into o We are novices when it comes to news-based trading strategies! Data series we used are short (8 months) In short, there is a lot more work for us to do! TRADING ON NEWS INTRA-DAY: EARLY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCES, VER. 9/27/2012. P. KOLM 7

23 Endnotes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 The Morning Call aired between 11:05 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. (EST) and the Midday Call aired between 2:53 p.m. and 2:58 p.m. (EST). Their data set consists of 322 stock reports over 84 different trading days from the period June 12 - Oct. 27, Traders who execute within 15 seconds of the initial mention make small but significant profits by trading on positive reports during the Midday Call. 2 They find a significant increase in buyer- (seller-) initiated trades after positive (negative) reports. 3 They use TAQ data from Jan. 1, 2002 Dec. 31, 2002 and press releases published by PRNewswire during that same time period. 4 We removed the following 21 companies from the S&P that in the dataset we are provide contained missing data: ABC (Amerisourcebergen Corp), AIG (American International Group Inc), TWC (Time Warner Cable Inc), TWX (Time Warner Inc), DNR (Denbury Resources Inc), DO (Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc), DV (Devry Inc Del), FTI (F M C Technologies Inc), HRL (Hormel Foods Corp), NU (Northeast Utilities), ORLY (O Reilly Automotive Inc), PCS (Metropcs Communications Inc), PWR (Quanta Services Inc), RHT (Red Hat Inc), SNI (Scripps Networks Interactive Inc), TDC (Teradata Corp De), THC (Tenet Healthcare Corp), VTR (Ventas Inc), WDC (Western Digital Corp), WM (Waste Management Inc Del), and WPO (Washington Post Co). 5 Calculated using a total of 223 days as there can be news on weekends as well. 6 The strength of the score is derived from training sets where financial experts classified company-specific events and agreed these events convey positive or negative sentiment and to what degree. Their ratings are encapsulated in an algorithm that generates a score range between where higher values indicate more positive sentiment while lower values below 50 show negative sentiment. 7 The first story disclosing an event about a company is considered to be the most novel and receives a score of 100. Subsequent stories about the companies event receive lower scores following a decay function (100, 75, 56, xxxxx). Stories outside the 24 hour window but similar to a story in a chain of events receive a score of 0.! TRADING ON NEWS INTRA-DAY: EARLY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCES, VER. 9/27/2012. P. KOLM 23
