Abstract

We include Limit Order Book (LOB) matchedness as a new trade attribute to identify High Price Impact Trades (HPITs). HPITs are trades associated with large price changes relative to their volume proportion. We show that the inclusion of matchedness provides a finer analysis of the relationship between price contribution and trade categories. We further verify that a stronger presence of HPITs leads to a decline in volatility and improves price efficiency, which suggests a link between HPITs and informed trades.
