Market Making as a trading strategy
Bartík, Jan ; Stádník, Bohumil (advisor) ; Diviš, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the market-making strategy's profitability analysis, tested on simulation of central order book. The theoretical part describes how the market maker quotes the price of supply and demand and mathematically proves under which circumstances this strategy is profitable. The practical part introduces a simulation of the central order book. The advantage of simulating the entire order book is that we have information about the number of market participants and quotes at any given time. It also introduces a fictitious market maker quoting the price of supply and demand at any given moment, the price being determined by the price of the previous time step. The order book is simulated in three different settings - random walk, mean-reversion and leptokurtic distribution, and it is shown that the expected profitability of the market-maker strategy is positive in all three cases.
