1/5 It's been a while since I wrote, and I'm looking to get back into it. I've been working on an article about adverse selection and markouts. You can check it out here: machow.ski/posts/markouts_an…
🧵
4/5 Markouts are one tool that can be used for measuring adverse selection. They work by plotting the theoretical PnL at various time horizons (e.g. 100ms, 500ms, 1s, etc) after your trade to see how the price moved for or against you over time.
5/5 I cover this, and more, in the article. If you're into market microstructure, trading internals, and want to read something not actually written by AI, feel free to follow! #trading #marketmicrostructure
Great thread about how funding manipulation works. As usual, lack of liquidity and wide spreads are the underlying cause. In addition, using a robust methodology for calculating the premium is pretty important also.
I had the pleasure of reading an advanced copy, and Jonathan knocks it out of the park. If you are looking for an in depth guide on how the crypto sausage is made, look no further.
Amazing artwork also 👍

For those looking to understand microstructure better have a look at the binance 0 fee orderbook. Record some data. How does it react to large orders? What’s the distribution? Time of day? The zeros fees really expose the microstructure. Great learning example!
