Abstract

Speculative traders' dynamic trading strategies are not easy to model, because they depend on latent information flows and preferences. As a result, the risks involved in such strategies may only be revealed by examining empirical distributions of ex post returns to traders engaged in speculative activities. The authors' comprehensive data from futures floor trader's proprietary trading allows for an empirical examination of one prominent type of speculative trader risk. It is shown that floor trader “value at risk” can be predicted somewhat, using simple market variables such as volume and volatility. Although some predictability for the crosssectional distribution of floor trader income, and hence risk was found, not much was determined in terms of trader‐specific characteristics. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This article sets out to investigate price clustering in both the open‐outcry (floor‐traded) and electronically traded (E‐mini) index futures markets of the DJIA, S&P 500, and NASDAQ‐100 indices. The results show that although price clustering is ubiquitous in both the floor‐traded and
