Abstract

We use 239-day trading-level data for a stock on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, including about 440,000 traders and 1.77 million trading relationships, to study the representation of traders in a trading network using the network representation learning method, and to identify different traders' local outlier factor (LOF). Based on the local outlier factors, traders are divided into two categories: novel and normal. The novel traders' orders have smaller immediate price impact. Our method can be used to characterize and discover the behavior of medium-scale trading networks and provide certain decision support for market investors and regulators.
