Fill Probability Distribution

Algorithm

A Fill Probability Distribution, within cryptocurrency options and derivatives, represents a quantified assessment of the likelihood that an order will be fully executed at or near the desired price. This distribution isn’t merely a binary completed/not completed outcome, but rather a spectrum of potential fill sizes correlated to price levels, crucial for evaluating execution risk. Its construction relies on order book dynamics, historical trade data, and sophisticated modeling of market participant behavior, informing optimal order routing and slicing strategies. Accurate estimation of this distribution directly impacts trade cost analysis and the overall profitability of derivative strategies.
