Level 1

Beginner

  1. Covered in this level

    You will study the cost of trading large orders, what TWAP and VWAP mean, and why orders are split over time.

  2. Suited to

    This level is for learners who want to know what execution algorithms are and why they exist.

  3. What you will be able to apply

    After this level, you will be able to explain what TWAP and VWAP are, describe why large orders are sliced, and see how execution cost is measured.

About this material

Learn how institutional execution algorithms work and how to piggyback on their activity. This material explains Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), POV, and implementation shortfall models. You'll learn when to use each algo type, how they affect intraday volume curves, and how to avoid being gamed by HFTs. Great for traders looking to improve execution quality and reduce slippage.
