Slippage Cost Measurement is the quantitative assessment of the financial difference between the expected price of a trade and its actual execution price. Its purpose is to evaluate trading efficiency and identify the implicit costs associated with order execution in various market conditions. This provides insights into market impact.
Mechanism
This measurement involves comparing an order’s benchmark price, such as the mid-point at the time of order submission, against the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the executed trades or the final fill price. Post-trade analysis systems collect and process execution data to calculate these discrepancies across individual trades and entire portfolios.
Methodology
The strategic approach aims to quantify and control implicit trading costs, thereby optimizing execution algorithms and evaluating liquidity provider performance. This framework provides critical feedback for refining trading strategies, managing liquidity, and optimizing order placement in crypto markets, where liquidity can be fragmented and volatility significantly impacts execution quality.
