This paper examines a discrete-time optimal execution problem with generalized price impact. Our main objective is to investigate the effect of price impact caused by aggregate random trade orders posed by small traders on the optimal execution strategy when orders of the small traders have a Markovian dependence. Our problem is formulated as a Markov decision process with state variables which include the last small traders’ aggregate orders. Over a finite horizon, a large trader with Constant Absolute Risk Aversion (CARA) von Neumann–Morgenstern (vN-M) utility function maximizes the expected utility from the final wealth. By applying the backward induction method of dynamic programming, we characterize the optimal execution strategy and optimal value function and conclude that the optimal execution strategy is a time-dependent affine function of three state variables. Moreover, numerical analysis prevails that the optimal execution strategy admits a “statistical arbitrage” via a round-trip trading, although our model considers a linear permanent price impact. The result differs from the previous prevailing one that a linear permanent price impact model precludes any price manipulation or arbitrage. Thus, considering a price impact caused by small traders’ orders with a Markovian dependence is significant.

We provide some theoretical extensions and a calibration protocol for our former dynamic optimal execution model. The Hawkes parameters and the propagator are estimated independently on financial data from stocks of the CAC40. Interestingly, the propagator exhibits a smoothly decaying form with one or two dominant time scales, but only so after a few seconds that the market needs to adjust after a large trade. Motivated by our estimation results, we derive the optimal execution strategy for a multi-exponential Hawkes kernel and backtest it on the data for round trips. We find that the strategy is profitable on average when trading at the midprice, which is in accordance with violated martingale conditions. However, in most cases, these profits vanish when we take bid–ask costs into account.

In this paper, we study the optimal execution problem by considering the trading signal and the transaction risk simultaneously. We propose an optimal execution problem by taking into account the trading signal and the execution risk with the associated decay kernel function and the transient price impact function being of generalized forms. In particular, we solve the stochastic optimal control problems under the assumptions that the decay kernel function is the Dirac function and the transient price function is a linear function. We give the optimal executing strategies in state-feedback form and the Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Bellman equations that the corresponding value functions satisfy in the cases of a constant execution risk and a linear execution risk. We also demonstrate that our results can recover previous results when the process of the trading signal degenerates.
