MIM (Market Impact Model) is a mathematical model used to measure the influence of large trades on the price movements of a particular asset. It is also known as “market impact estimation” and has been used by some institutional traders for years.
The MIM model uses two main factors: trade size and order type, combined with market conditions including volume, volatility, bid-ask spread, liquidity depth, etc., to estimate how much an individual trade will affect the overall market. This allows institutional traders to anticipate potential losses or gains due to their trading activity and adjust their positions accordingly.
In addition to helping traders make more informed decisions about when and where they should enter or exit their trades, it can also be used by investors who want a better understanding of how news or other events may affect prices in different markets. By utilizing this technique investors are able to gain insight into how they might benefit from certain changes in market conditions before they occur.
MIM models are based on historical data which means that predictions can never be 100% accurate since there are always hidden variables at play in any given situation. Despite this limitation however it still remains one of the most reliable tools available for predicting future prices levels both short-term and long-term based on current market conditions.
