Basic logic

Hello i work for a broking house.

I need to calculate what is called the open
theory pricen or cross match of a stock.

on the stock exchange there  is something called the depth of market.

The depth of market is a list of all
the different prices (and the volume) people want to buy the stock at

and a list of all the different prices (and the volume) people want to sell
the stock at.

When a sell prices matches a buy price the stock trades.

Buyers
Level Buy Quantity Price
1      1   30000 0.180
2      1   18251 0.150
3      1   25000 0.120

Price Quantity #Sell Level
0.200 16000     2    1
0.250 3000      1    2
0.400 10000     1    3


I need some VBBasic code that will do what is explained at this url.

Hi
I couldnt understand what is the method for the calculations.But i think the VBA with Spread sheets is the best solution for ur problem .You can make Calculations easily through the use of spread sheets.
Thank u

Hello Mr Kamal,

thanks for your comments.

Thats is what I am trying to work out, a method( BASIC code)
to calculate the cross match.

based on the information given at

http://www.asx.com.au/markets/l4/openclose_am4.htm


If you can do it in Excel VBA, that
woulb be of great help.

However I would prefer to use VB
with grid controls or arrays to hold the data

thanks

Hi
but i cant get ur method .i mean the basic method u r using for calculation.
i dont know anything about the shares .if u want basic code in vbexcel then its like:
public appexcel as application
private form_load()
dim wsheet as worksheet
dim wbook as workbook
set appexcel=createobject("Excel.Application")
set wbook=getobject("file name in excel")
set wsheet=wbook.sheets(sheet no)
wshhet.cells.value()
and to calculate anything in excel:
appexcel.evaluate(expression)
and if still u have any doubt u can send the details of ur method so that i can understand them only then i can help u further.
thanking you
ms. kamal
Basic Logic.... hehehe.

This is a good one.

However, please explain "priority buy price" and "priority sell price".

What makes one a priority?

I'll start with that question and continue after this is answered and after I study the example a little more.

Thanks - Wileecoy.
Ok - what happens when there is no priority overlap, but when latter trades would overlap?

For example:

A. Buy 100 @ 240
B. Buy 300 @ 242
C. Buy 500 @ 243

A. Sell 400 @ 243
B. Sell 600 @ 244
C. Sell 300 @ 242

Now - If I understand priority properly, you start with the top of each list and offset them as long as you can.

In this case, If you start with 'Buy A' and 'Sell A' (as priority trades), There is no overlap as the buy is below the sell.

However, if you look down to the 'Buy B' and 'Sell C', you can clearly make a transaction.

Per the link that you listed, if there is no overlap, the opening price is the price of the first trade of the day.  I assume that is also based on priority.  In this case, opening price would be at $240 even though B and C are higher prices.

A few more 'rules' answered and I will have something for you.

Thanks - Wileecoy

Hi wileecoy , thanks very much for the help.


The price on the buyers side
is sorted decending. I.e the highest
price that someone is willing to
pay for the stock will always be at the'top' of the buy list and is called
the priority price.

The price on the sellers side is sorted
asscending. I.e. The lowest price someone is willing
to sell the stock at. The lowest sell price will
always be on the 'top' of the sell list and is called
the priority  sell price.

So in the example you have given

C. Buy 500 @ 243 C. Sell 300 @ 242
B. Buy 300 @ 242 A. Sell 400 @ 243
A. Buy 100 @ 240 b. Sell 600 @ 244

i think may not really actually happen.

Durning the normal course of the day the Exchange computers
will calacuate the matches.

When the market opens, the Exchanges computers transmit the open price.

What we are trying to do is calculate what the open price
will be before the exchange opens. When there may be an overlap.




wileecoy, I hope i havn't confused the issue.

Thanks again,
weg

Ok - I couldn't wait.

I have a solution that gives the same opening price as the example at the link that you posted.

If that isn't the final solution, it is at least a good start - but I really beleive that it does exactly what you need.

It will be in the next comment.

The instructions are at the beginning.

hth.

Wileecoy
Wow - I have the solution except for one thing.

I didn't see your message until I posted my last one.

The Ascending / Descending prices will slow me down a little.

Give me a few more minutes.

The instructions are in the header text of the form.

Just paste all of that into Form1 of a standard project.

Add the MSFlexGrid Component.

Add all of the controls and press F5.

Oh - don't worry about trying to figure out where the controls go.  I knew that would be a problem, so I added all of that to the resize procedure.

All you have to do is get the components on the form and keep their default name and the code will do all the rest.

Let me know how this works.  I didn't do a lot of formatting or 'cosmetic' work.  And I also did a lot more than what you asked for, but I had to to work myself through the problem.

HTH.

Wileecoy.
Sorry, one more comment.

In the Form_Resize procedure you can comment-out the following:

   Dim ctr As Control

   For Each ctr In Form1
       Debug.Print ctr.Name & ".top = form1.height * " & (ctr.Top / Form1.Height)
       Debug.Print ctr.Name & ".left = form1.width * " & (ctr.Left / Form1.Width)
       Debug.Print ctr.Name & ".height = form1.height * " & (ctr.Height / Form1.Height)
       Debug.Print ctr.Name & ".width = form1.width * " & (ctr.Width / Form1.Width)
       Debug.Print ctr.Name & ".fontsize = 7.8 * form1.width * form1.height / " & (Form1.Width * Form1.Height)
   Next


You won't need that anymore.

Hi wileecoy,

Thanks for emailing the project files. And thanks for the very much appreciated  help.

I have run your example and it works perfectly.

I also run it through some other 'numbers'

'PopulateBuySell

   With MSFlexGrid1
        .AddItem "B1" & vbTab & "555" & vbTab & "1798", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B2" & vbTab & "200" & vbTab & "1795", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B3" & vbTab & "189" & vbTab & "1794", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "350" & vbTab & "1782", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "1000" & vbTab & "1770", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "282" & vbTab & "1770", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "550" & vbTab & "1760", .Rows - 1
       
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "1500" & vbTab & "1751", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "3000" & vbTab & "1751", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "286" & vbTab & "1751", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "2700" & vbTab & "1751", .Rows - 1
        .AddItem "B4" & vbTab & "2000" & vbTab & "1750", .Rows - 1
       
    End With



the above calculates to an open price of 1790.2

(

I changed the formatting of the number to

 Label4.Caption = "Opening price is " & Format(dOpenPrice, "####0.0")

)

The above also has a match volume of 944.

Is it simple to obtain this figure? (the match volume).

I havn't had time to analyze  the code. I havn't had any experience with the MSFlexGrid  grid control.
( I use 'spread'.ocx from fpoint.com )

So I am figuring that one out.


Thanks again

wegwong,

I have no idea how to find the match volume.  If you can find out, I can work it into the app.

Thanks - Wileecoy.

Also - I will look at the spread.ocx just for curiosity sake.

I think the match volume is the remainder.
Eg in the example given at

http://www.asx.com.au/markets/l4/openclose_am4.htm 

"

SEATS matches orders as follows:    

3. The remaining 1,400 for buy order B matches against sell order L, leaving order B with a buy quantity of 400.

400 is the match volume.

OK - Let me put that in.

Thanks.

Wileecoy.
Ok - in the Calc_Overlap procedure, there is a section that starts with the comment:

'Now we need to do the calculation

The following code goes into that section and replaces everything from the "Else" just before the comment, to the "End If" that is just before the comment:

'Here we move the appropriate Grid to the next row

Here is the code:

******** begin code Calc_Overlap

        'Now we need to do the calculation
        Dim iMatch As Integer
        Dim sFavor As String
        If iBuyOrderQty > iSellOrderQty Then
            iMatch = iBuyOrderQty - iSellOrderQty
            sFavor = ", Buy over Sell."
        Else
            iMatch = iSellOrderQty - iBuyOrderQty
            sFavor = ", Sell over Buy."
        End If
        dOpenPrice = ((iBuyOrderQty * dBuyOrderPrice) + (iSellOrderQty * dSellOrderPrice)) / (iBuyOrderQty + iSellOrderQty)
        Label4.Caption = "Opening price is " & Format(dOpenPrice, "$#,###,##0.00") & _
                            ", Match volume is " & Format(iMatch, "#,###,##0.00") & sFavor
        Exit Do


******** end code Calc_Overlap

What that will do is always show a positive number and tell you if it is positive buy or sell.

Positive buy is " Buy over Sell.", positive sell is the opposite (makes sense, huh).

Anyway - give this a whirl and let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Wileecoy!
Sorry - One more thing.

You will have to change one line in the form_resize procedure.

The line changing Label4.Width needs to be changed to:

Label4.Width = Form1.Width * 0.7607362

That should be it.

Thanks.

Wileecoy.
