Market microstructure is a branch of finance concerned with the details of how exchange occurs in markets. While the theory of market microstructure applies to the exchange of real or financial assets, more evidence is available on the microstructure of financial markets due to the availability of transactions data from them. The major thrust of market microstructure research examines the ways in which the working processes of a market affects determinants of transaction costs, prices, quotes, volume, and trading behavior. Recent innovations have allowed an expansion into the study of the impact of market microstructure on the incidence of market abuse, such as insider trading, market manipulation and broker-client conflict.
Maureen O’Hara defines market microstructure as “the study of the process and outcomes of exchanging assets under a specific set of rules. While much of economics abstracts from the mechanics of trading, microstructure theory focuses on how specific trading mechanisms affect the price formation process.”

High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation for the range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) between 3 and 30 MHz. It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred metres). Frequencies immediately below HF are denoted medium frequency (MF), while the next band of higher frequencies is known as the very high frequency (VHF) band. The HF band is a major part of the shortwave band of frequencies, so communication at these frequencies is often called shortwave radio. Because radio waves in this band can be reflected back to Earth by the ionosphere layer in the atmosphere – a method known as "skip" or "skywave" propagation – these frequencies are suitable for long-distance communication across intercontinental distances. The band is used by international shortwave broadcasting stations (2.310 - 25.820 MHz), aviation communication, government time stations, weather stations, amateur radio and citizens band services, among other uses.
On November 13, 2012, Ciamac Moallemi, Associate Professor of Decision, Risk, and Operations at Columbia Business School, presented High-Frequency Trading and Market Microstructure. The presentation was part of the Program for Financial Studies' No Free Lunch Seminar Series. The Program for Financial Studies' No Free Lunch Seminar Series provides broader community access to Columbia Business School faculty research. At each seminar, attended by invited MBA and PhD students, faculty members introduce their current research within an informal lunch setting.

In chapter 20 I learned about some of the patterns and techniques of technical analysis. I also learned a little about market microstructure modeling, simulating lots of trading strategies to see what happens. Makes me itch to write some code!
Options traders are continually pushing the boundaries of their front end trading systems and looking for new and innovative ways to improve edge while reducing programming time and effort. In this educational session we demonstrate how options market makers can leverage trading intelligence over speed through underlying price and implied volatility micro-structure models. In this webinar discover how market micro-structure models can - Improve the underlying price used to value theoretical values, - Create a source of hidden speed - improve takeout hit ratio and reduce pick-off risk - Enhance hedging by allowing for more dynamic execution algos - Form a building block for deeper quantitative models.

Originally presented at Inside Bitcoin Hong Kong in July 2014. http://www.smartmediacorp.com Bitcoin Orderbooks and High Frequency Market Microstructure. A study of how Bitcoin order books behave, and how size of queue effects prices. I discuss modeling the waiting time until a price change, and the probability of an upward price move.
Maureen O'Hara (Cornell University) explains the market microstructure of high frequency trading in this talk at Cambridge University.

Regulators should not sign off on anything that doesn't ensure both a fair and an efficient market, says Prof. Michael Aitken, CEO and chief scientist at the Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre. Unfortunately, academics and regulators rarely consider market integrity when weighing market structure changes, he tells TABB Group's Miranda Mizen, adding that in order to understand if a market structure change is good or bad, you must understand how it affects transaction costs, price discovery, market manipulation, insider trading and broker/client conflict.

Dr Ernest Chan talks about many aspects of quantitative trading, including how market crises impact momentum strategies and how to manage the impacts, when to use stop-losses and when they don't make sense, automating trading, managing funds in a portfolio of strategies and a simple money management approach which aims to limit drawdowns while maximising returns. Topics discussed: - Where to find trading ideas - The first aspect of a market to identify before building a strategy for it - Momentum crashes and the performance of momentum strategies after a financial crisis - How to manage the times when momentum strategies aren’t working - When stop losses should be used and when they don’t make sense - How to limit drawdowns while maximising growth - Factors to consider when autom...
