A method of Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) that decomposes the total cost of a crypto trade into contributions from various identifiable market and trade-specific factors. This provides a detailed attribution of execution costs beyond simple price slippage.
Mechanism
This approach involves econometric modeling to correlate execution costs with a set of predefined factors, which may include order size relative to market liquidity, trade urgency, volatility, time of day, venue choice, and specific digital asset characteristics. Data from historical trades and market conditions are collected and processed, allowing the model to quantify the impact of each factor on the overall transaction cost.
Methodology
Firms apply statistical regression or machine learning techniques to construct a model that explains cost variance based on these factors. This methodology enables the identification of systematic drivers of execution costs, allowing for a more granular understanding of trading performance. It facilitates strategic adjustments to order routing, timing, and sizing, ultimately aiming to minimize explicit and implicit trading costs and optimize execution strategies in crypto markets.
The primary challenge is architecting a system to translate unstructured human judgment into a structured, analyzable data format without losing essential context.
