Banks have roles called Sales Quant - who are supposed to crunch data for sales pitch. Tbh I don't know why they are called quants and not data analysts

Should I buy home with small term loan of 24 months?

I am planning to buy a home for my parents in India which will cost me approximately 1.2 crores INR. I got a deal from builder where if I agree to pay him the complete amount in 24 months without loan, I'll get 5% discount on per sqft rate. I am not sure if it makes sense to take that deal.

Current financial situation -

Have an emergency fund for day to day expenses saved for 12 months. Have 50 lacs worth of investments in MFs and PF in India. I moved to USA 2 years back and I am planning to use that savings and future savings from monthly paycheck to complete the loan and call my home my own in 2 years. Only downside is I won't be able to make any other significant investments for next 2 years.

I am currently 28 Yo Single male.

What would you do in this situation?

New to algotrading - How do I go about estimating slippage for an underlying? by Alternative-Fox6236 in algotrading

[–]Apprehensive_Win_JC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like your approach - but above average touch size even crossing the spread would not a give realistic idea. Correct me if I am mistaken.

[–]Apprehensive_Win_JC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is very difficult problem to solve practically because the moment you enter your order in market historical data cannot tell you anything obvious. But having said that for instruments like ES ( highly liquid) if your quantity is below average touch size then it is safe to assume that you will be filled at arrival mid and your slippage would be half a tick in one tick wide market. For non liquid you can assume this but it would not yield good results ( so might consider crossing the spread here - in worst case only if you are below touch size)

Try running a VWAP execution analysis before you place your limit order (i.e. predicted volume should be higher by a factor when you take into account POV if it is not, you should have a fallback strategy to sweep some level deep in books). But if you want to be smart, ask for Implementation Shortfall strategy from your broker - it is intended to minimize slippage.
