hard · Order Flow Analysis footprint-delta
An institutional trader needs to execute a 5,000-lot buy order in Corn. They use a 'TWAP' (Time-Weighted Average Price) algorithm.
What specific signature will this leave on the footprint and cumulative delta chart?
- A 'bottom-heavy' footprint as the algorithm rests iceberg bids at every tick.
- Large blocks of 500-1,000 lots appearing randomly on the tape to hide the order size.
- Consistent, similar-sized ask volume across consecutive bars and a smooth, nearly linear rise in cumulative delta.
- Extreme volatility in delta as the algorithm sweeps the book every 10 minutes.
