This paper examines the volume-volatility-type of trader relationship by employing daily volume of five futures contracts segregated into four types of traders. This breakdown of total volume into its components allows us to test whether one or more groups can be associated with the level of volatility. In addition, we examine whether using volume by type of trader improves the association of volume to volatility. The results show that the general public is the most important category affecting the volatility-volume relationship. We associate the general public with uninformed traders and their more disperse set of beliefs. Using volume by type of trader provides superior R squared values to what currently appears in the literature. We also find that the strongest volume-volatility associations occur in the highest and lowest quintiles of volatility. Further examination of the individual volume series shows substantial skewness and kurtosis for most series and large cross correlations between series for adjacent days.

We provide a synthesis of the empirical evidence on market liquidity. The liquidity measurement literature has established standard measures of liquidity that apply to broad categories of market microstructure data. Specialized measures of liquidity have been developed to deal with data limitations in specific markets, to provide proxies from daily data, and to assess institutional trading programs. The general liquidity literature has established local cross-sectional patterns, global cross-sectional patterns, and time-series patterns.

Liquidity and Asset Prices reviews the literature that studies the relationship between liquidity and asset prices. The authors review the theoretical literature that predicts how liquidity affects a security's required return and discuss the empirical connection between the two. Liquidity and Asset Prices surveys the theory of liquidity-based asset pricing followed by the empirical evidence. The theory section proceeds from basic models with exogenous holding periods to those that incorporate additional elements of risk and endogenous holding periods. The empirical section reviews the evidence on the liquidity premium for stocks, bonds, and other financial assets.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 One morning, Jim Kelvin, a cattle rancher from Texas, got up at 6am to prepare for the market’s open. He picked up the Wall Street Journal to see what the bank traders and brokerage analysts were saying about the foreign exchange market. He had been watching the Japanese yen closely because he felt the recent depth of coverage in the news would surely reveal some good trade opportunities. #2 The majority of people who trade futures don’t make money. If you trade with the majority, you will only succeed as well as the average market participant, who doesn’t make money. #3 The four levels of learning are novice, beginner, advanced beginner, and competent pianist. To become a proficient pianist, you must go beyond the note-by-note struggle and begin to achieve some continuity of melody. #4 The final stage of skill acquisition is expertise, when the musician feels the melody and the song becomes an expression of his feeling. The mechanical aspects are fully ingrained, leaving the brain to its wonderful powers of creation. Listening to an expert musician is like peering into his thoughts and feeling the weight of his sadness or the exhilaration of his joy.
