Keith Sollers, UC Davis: Recent Developments in Optimal Placement of Trades

Optimal placement of trades has received more attention recently, particularly in the high-frequency trading venue.  We define a formulation of the optimal placement problem and present a closed-form solution to this problem in the discrete-time case.  We then discuss the continuous-time case, where optimal solutions exist but no closed-form solution is known. After tuning the models using high-frequency market data, we present numerical solutions in continuous-time and exact solutions in discrete-time.
