“…This enables us to track the order and trade activity of any group of traders, potentially providing us with insight into how their behaviors correlate with future returns. We also confirm that micro-momentum on the NSE is similar to the micro-momentum found in Heston, Korajczyk, and Sadka (2010), suggesting this phenomenon is not specific to U.S. markets. Furthermore, we find that micro-momentum on the NSE is robust to firm size, bid-ask bounce, trade volume, volatility, and net order imbalance, which are similar to the robustness checks in Heston, Korajczyk, and Sadka. In theory, an institutional investor who wants to minimize the execution costs associated with a large order will execute that order piecewise over time.…”
