eventMatch: Match Market Orders (takers) to Limit Orders (makers).

In phil8192/ob-analytics: Limit Order Book Analytics

Description

Matches corresponding Bid(s) and Ask(s) for each trade event.

Usage

eventMatch(events, cut.off.ms = 5000)

Arguments

events	data frame of order book events.
cut.off.ms	events occuring outside of this time (in milliseconds) will be considered as candidate matches.

Details

A trade event (a market impact) will generate a list of volume change events. This function will line up 2 time ordered event lists for each side of the book and attempt to align them by matching volume. If the result contains duplicate matches, then the matching is treated as a sequence alignment problem, and the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm is applied. As such, the function acts as a type of "one shot" matching engine, simulating an order book matching engine without the need to reconstruct the whole book.
