This research project, conducted in collaboration between TU Delft and MN, a pension fund asset manager, focuses on the optimal venue selection in FX trading. The objective is to investigate how the venue selection affects trading performance and to improve MN trading execution algorithm, named ALGO. The research aims to propose a new approach for the venue selection problem by allocating weights to different venues instead of solely selecting the best one. It utilizes advanced statistical and machine learning techniques and develops a matching engine capable of reconstructing historical orderbooks for backtesting strategies. The outcomes of this thesis show clear ideas for improving the current venue selection model. The proposed models are anticipated to consistently outperform ALGO, leading to improved trade execution. The insights and methodologies developed in this research will contribute to further investigations in improving venue selection processes and optimizing execution strategies in the FX market. The thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem, explores the mathematical framework, presents real-world data-driven approaches, and discusses the findings and conclusions, offering valuable insights and recommendations for future MN research.
