Machine Learning Strategies for Minimizing Information Leakage in Algorithmic Trading

When executing sizable orders, information leakage through trading operations is on every trader’s mind. In this whitepaper, Guhao Wu, Co-Head of Quantitative Execution Research, explains how, by using differentiated machine learning methods we can estimate the amount of information leakage that occurs during the execution of algorithmic orders. We can then make real-time decisions, allowing us to reduce our market footprint and improve execution quality.
