Dual-market quantitative trading: The dynamics of liquidity and turnover in financial markets

Financial market liquidity is a popular research topic. Investor-driven research uses the turnover rate to measure liquidity and generally finds that the higher the stock turnover rate, the lower the returns. However, the traditional financial liquidity theory has been impacted by new machine-driven...

description Financial market liquidity is a popular research topic. Investor-driven research uses the turnover rate to measure liquidity and generally finds that the higher the stock turnover rate, the lower the returns. However, the traditional financial liquidity theory has been impacted by new machine-driven quantitative trading models. To explore high machine-driven liquidity and the impact of high turnover rates on returns, this study establishes a dual-market quantitative trading system, introduces a variational modal decomposition (VMD)-bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) model for data prediction, and uses the back-end Hong Kong foreign exchange market to develop a quantitative trading strategy using the same rotating funds in the U.S. and Chinese stock markets. The experimental results show that given a principal amount of 210,000.00 CNY, the final predicted net return is 226,538.30 CNY, a net return of 107.86%, which is 40.6% higher than the net return of a single Chinese market. We conclude that, under machine-driven trading, increasing liquidity and turnover increase returns. This study provides a new perspective on liquidity theory that is useful for future financial market research and quantitative trading practices.
