# TWAP Algorithm Implementation Design ## Overview This document details the implementation of the Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) algorithm in the Order Management System (OMS), which executes large orders by slicing them into smaller orders over a specified time period to minimize market impact. ## TWAP Algorithm Fundamentals ### Algorithm Description The TWAP algorithm is designed to execute large orders by dividing them into smaller, equal-sized slices and executing these slices at regular intervals throughout a specified time period. The primary goal is to minimize market impact by spreading the execution over time and participating equally in all time periods. ### Key Characteristics 1. **Time-based Slicing**: Orders are divided based on time intervals rather than volume 2. **Equal Participation**: Equal participation rate in each time interval 3. **Market Impact Reduction**: Minimizes information leakage by spreading execution 4. **Predictable Execution**: Provides consistent execution pattern ## TWAP Parameters ### Core Parameters ```csharp /// /// Parameters for TWAP algorithm execution /// public record TwapParameters { /// /// Trading symbol /// public string Symbol { get; set; } /// /// Order side (Buy/Sell) /// public OrderSide Side { get; set; } /// /// Total quantity to execute /// public int TotalQuantity { get; set; } /// /// Start time for execution /// public DateTime StartTime { get; set; } /// /// End time for execution /// public DateTime EndTime { get; set; } /// /// Interval between order submissions (in seconds) /// public int IntervalSeconds { get; set; } /// /// Optional limit price for limit orders /// public decimal?
