A Replacement Trade is a transaction executed to offset or substitute a previously placed order or position. This is often initiated due to an error, an unexpected market event, or to adjust an existing exposure. In crypto trading, this refers to re-establishing a desired market position after an unforeseen incident.
Mechanism
If an original order fails to execute, is incorrectly filled, or a position is liquidated prematurely, a replacement trade is issued to restore the intended market exposure. This might involve placing a new order with revised parameters or entering into a different, but economically equivalent, derivative contract.
Methodology
Traders employ replacement trades as part of their operational risk management to correct discrepancies or mitigate losses arising from system failures, erroneous inputs, or unforeseen market dislocations. The execution must be swift and precise to minimize further adverse price movements or opportunity costs in volatile crypto markets.
