An order book consists of a list of all buy and sell offers, represented by price and quantity, available to a market agent.

Western European countries are integrating into a single market. Canada, Mexico, and the United States hav...

This is because the hedging errors are not independent. The difference between a minimum-variance hedge and the optimal multiperiod hedge is called the hedging demand and depends...

Since the year 2000, the annual trading agent competition has provided a forum for designers to evaluate programmed trading techniques in a challenging market scenario in competition with other design groups. After three years of apparent progress, we attempt to evaluate the trading competence of competition participants, in the 2002 tournament and over time. Although absolute measure of indivi...
