Strategic Interaction: Participants’ Objectives, Choices, and Constraints
First Principles
Sam Rivera
Lesson / WY-01-02
Actual institutions are participants with legal identities, investment objectives, and execution rules. They may trade directionally, hedge, track indices, provide liquidity, or conduct cross-market arbitrage. Different institutions can have opposing horizons, risk limits, and interests, and any bar may contain several kinds of activity. A “holder” is not necessarily a directional speculator: a sale may come from a bearish trader, a physical producer’s hedge, a market maker reducing inventory risk, or one leg of an arbitrage portfolio.
