Analysis

The Almgren-Chriss model is a seminal framework in algorithmic trading that determines optimal execution schedules by balancing temporary market impact costs against the volatility risk of holding inventory. By minimizing an objective function that accounts for both execution speed and price uncertainty, the model produces a deterministic trading trajectory that minimizes total expected cost while controlling risk exposure.

Solution

struct ACParams { double sigma; double eta; double gamma; double lambda; };
std::vector<double> optimalTrajectory(int total_qty, int num_steps,
                                      const ACParams& p) {
    double T = num_steps;
    double kappa = std::sqrt(p.lambda * p.sigma * p.sigma / p.eta);
    std::vector<double> traj(num_steps + 1);
    traj[0] = total_qty;
    for (int k = 1; k <= num_steps; ++k) {
        double t = k / T;
        traj[k] = total_qty * (std::sinh(kappa * (T - t))) / std::sinh(kappa * T);
    }
    return traj;  // Remaining inventory at each time step
}

Complexity & Edge Cases

  • Time complexity: O(N) for trajectory computation
  • Space complexity: O(N) for trajectory storage
  • Edge cases: (1) Lambda=0 yields linear (unconstrained) trajectory (2) High kappa produces front-loaded execution (3) Model assumes constant volatility and linear temporary impact

Verification

Compute trajectory with known parameters, verify total shares executed equals total_qty. Benchmark front-loaded vs linear execution costs. Test that higher lambda produces more aggressive early trading.

Key Considerations

The Almgren-Chriss model provides the theoretical foundation for all modern execution algorithms. The key insight is that optimal execution is not uniform - it is front-loaded to reduce inventory risk. The parameter lambda (risk aversion) controls the tradeoff: higher lambda means more aggressive early execution to reduce holding risk, at the cost of higher immediate impact.
