Improvements

Score

New Model: Excessive bid ask spread looks for a pattern of dominating the order book over the session leveraging the information from the customers individual order book dominance clusters. A pattern of repeatedly dominating the order book with a high percent of the displayed market volume is a condition that can cause undue market influence. While a trader may have a high score it may not be indicative of a violation, but rather it is a condition that could draw additional regulatory scrutiny. Because of this the model is part of Scores trading insights group.

Improvements

Score

New Model: The new floor and ceiling model looks for trading behaviors that potentially indicate that a trader is setting a price boundary by placing large orders (in the context of the market) and receive a large portion of the fills at the high or low for the day. This behavior is used to prevent a price from going above or below a certain price point.
