We analyze a market impact game between $n$ risk averse agents who compete for liquidity in a market impact model with permanent price impact and additional slippage. Most market parameters, including volatility and drift, are allowed to vary stochastically. Our first main result characterizes the Nash equilibrium in terms of a fully coupled system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs). Our second main result provides conditions under which this system of FBSDEs has… Expand

Using a novel sufficient maximum principle that does not require convexity of the cost function, it is proved that the solution of the FBSDE systems do indeed provide existence and uniqueness of open-loop Nash equilibria. Expand

A Market Impact Game Under Transient Price Impact
• Economics, Computer Science
• Math. Oper. Res.
• 2019
It is proved that for small transaction costs the high-frequency traders engage in a "hot-potato game", in which the same asset position is sold back and forth, and identifies a critical value for the size of the transaction costs above which all oscillations disappear and strategies become buy-only or sell-only.

We propose the use of a mean quadratic variation criteria to determine an optimal trading strategy in the presence of price impact. We derive the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman (HJB) Partial DifferentialExpand
Optimal execution with nonlinear impact functions and trading-enhanced risk
Optimal trading strategies are determined for liquidation of a large single-asset portfolio to minimize a combination of volatility risk and market impact costs. The market impact cost per share isExpand
No-dynamic-arbitrage and market impact
Starting from a no-dynamic-arbitrage principle that imposes that trading costs should be non-negative on average and a simple model for the evolution of market prices, we demonstrate a relationshipExpand

High-Frequency Limit of Nash Equilibria in a Market Impact Game with Transient Price Impact
• Mathematics, Economics
• SIAM J. Financial Math.
• 2017
It is shown that the limiting strategies form a Nash equilibrium for a continuous-time version of the model with $theta$ equal to a certain critical value $\theta^*>0$, and that the corresponding expected costs coincide with the high-frequency limits of the discrete-time equilibrium costs. Expand
