  • Trader Leverage Use and Social Interaction: the Performance Implications of Overconfidence and Social Network Participation on Retail Traders
    Trader Leverage Use and Social Interaction: The Performance Implications of Overconfidence and Social Network Participation on Retail Traders Submitted by John Hall Forman III to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Finance In October 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract Overconfidence and its relationship to investor market participation is well established in the finance literature. The research into investors and social networks is only in its infancy, however. This thesis extends the literature by expanding on both subjects individually, then bringing them together. Empirical work on individual investors in the existing literature links overconfidence and excess trading, resulting in impaired returns. The preferred activity metric, monthly account turnover, encapsulates two separate elements, though. One is trade frequency. The other is leverage use. Chapter 4 of this thesis theorizes based on the existing literature that in fact trade frequency is not a good measure of overconfidence. It then demonstrates through empirical analysis of a group of individual non-professional foreign exchange traders that leverage is much more suitable to that role. Chapter 5 turns the focus to social networks, particularly with respect to information transfer. The literature in finance anticipates that network members benefit from their membership.

TOP 10 TIPS FOR CHOOSING A FOREX BROKER IN 2021 WWW.COMPAREFOREXBROKERS.COM 5 DEALING DESK BROKERS Dealing desks or market makers set their own bid/ask spreads (or align with pricing from global liquidity providers) and use their own internal sources of liquidity for the trade. For each trade, the market maker will be the trader’s counterparty, which means they profit when the trader makes a loss and makes a loss when the trader profits. As dealing desk brokers do not charge additional commission fees on top of the spread, spreads are wider than what no dealing desk brokers offer.

    Abstract The advent of electronic trading platforms and networks has made exchanging financial securities easier and faster than ever; but this comes with inherent risks. Investing in money markets is no longer limited to the rich. With as little as $10, anyone can start trading stocks from a mobile phone, desktop application, or website. This paper demonstrates vulnerabilities that affect numerous traders. Among them are unencrypted authentication, communications, passwords, and trading data; remote DoS that leaves applications useless; trading programming languages that allow DLL imports; insecurely implemented chatbots; weak password policies; hardcoded secrets; and poor session management. In addition, many applications lack countermeasures, such as SSL certificate validation and root detection in mobile apps, privacy mode to mask sensitive values, and anti-exploitation and anti- reversing mitigations. The risks associated with the trading programming languages implemented in some applications is also covered, including how malicious expert advisors (trading robots) and other plugins could include backdoors or hostile code that would be hard for non-tech savvy traders to spot. ©2018 IOActive, Inc.

  • Automated Trading Software for Foreign Exchange
    Saul Stockhus AUTOMATED TRADING SOFTWARE FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE Bachelor’s Thesis Information Technology May 2011 DESCRIPTION Date of the bachelor's thesis May 20, 2011 Author(s) Degree programme and option Saul Stockhus Information Technology Name of the bachelor's thesis Automated trading software for Foreign Exchange Abstract The Foreign Exchange market is the largest financial market in the world. It is used by banks, gov- ernments, corporations, hedge funds and other institutions for a number of purposes, such as curren- cy conversion, hedging and speculation. Due to advances in computing, financial data that could pre- viously only be analyzed using charts or calculated manually can now be run through extensive ana- lyses using special algorithms in order to predict the future. The aim of this study is to research trading in the Foreign Exchange market and to implement an au- tomated trading strategy using a suitable programming language and successfully test it with real market data. Of particular interest was the prospect of discovering new trading methods and tools. During the course of this study, different types of trading strategies as well as new chart types were developed for the NinjaTrader platform. The strategies were tested using historic exchange rates as well as captured live rates. Choosing the type of strategy, trading platform or broker, as well as other considerations such as real life implementation is discussed. The study is useful particularly to IT and business students interested in the currency markets and automated trading in general. The study gives guidelines on strategy development and gives room for improvement in the future.
