VWAP Execution as an Optimal Strategy
The volume weighted average price (VWAP) execution strategy is well known and widely used in practice. In this study, we explicitly introduce a trading volume process into the Almgren-Chriss model, which is a standard model for optimal execution. We then show that the VWAP strategy is the optimal execution strategy for a risk-neutral trader. Moreover, we examine the case of a risk-averse trader and derive the first-order asymptotic expansion of the optimal strategy for a mean-variance optimization problem.

Optimality of VWAP Execution Strategies under General Shaped Market Impact Functions
In this short note, we study an optimization problem of expected implementation shortfall (IS) cost under general shaped market impact functions. In particular, we find that an optimal strategy is a VWAP (volume weighted…
An Optimal Control Strategy for Execution of Large Stock Orders Using LSTMs
In this paper, we simulate the execution of a large stock order with real data and general power law in the Almgren and Chriss model. The example that we consider is the liquidation of a large position executed over the …
Deep Learning for VWAP Execution in Crypto Markets: Beyond the Volume Curve
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is arguably the most prevalent benchmark for trade execution as it provides an unbiased standard for comparing performance across market participants. However, achieving VWAP is inher…
An Adaptive Dual-level Reinforcement Learning Approach for Optimal Trade Execution
