hard · Market Microstructure

If a market uses a Pro-Rata matching engine rather than Price-Time Priority (FIFO), how might the permanent impact of a large metered order be affected if parasitic traders are present?

  1. Permanent impact will decrease because pro-rata engines naturally widen the spread to discourage informed traders.
  2. Permanent impact may increase because parasitic traders can more easily gain fills alongside the large order by posting large sizes.
  3. Permanent impact will decrease because parasitic traders cannot jump ahead in the queue based on speed.
  4. Permanent impact is unaffected because matching engine rules only influence temporary impact.
