Overview

RustyBT's order aggregation system enables significant transaction cost savings in multi-strategy portfolios by:

• Order Netting: Combining offsetting orders across strategies before execution
• Commission Savings: Reducing total commission by executing net orders instead of multiple individual orders
• Fill Allocation: Proportionally distributing fills back to contributing strategies
• Statistics Tracking: Monitoring aggregation rates and cumulative savings

This system is essential for multi-strategy portfolios where different strategies may generate offsetting orders for the same asset.

Core Concepts

Order Netting Example

Strategy A: Buy  100 AAPL @ Market
Strategy B: Sell  50 AAPL @ Market
Strategy C: Buy   30 AAPL @ Market

Netting:
  Total Buy:  +100 + 30 = +130
  Total Sell: -50
  Net Order:  +80 AAPL (Buy)

Commission Savings:
  Without Aggregation: 3 orders × commission
  With Aggregation:    1 order × commission
  Savings:             ~67%

Full Netting Example

Strategy A: Buy  100 AAPL @ Market
Strategy B: Sell 100 AAPL @ Market

Netting:
  Net = +100 - 100 = 0

Result: Both orders cancelled, no execution needed
Commission Savings: 100% (no orders executed)

Aggregation Flow

1. Collect Orders (at execution point):
   ┌─────────────────────────────┐
   │ Strategy A: Buy 100 AAPL    │
   │ Strategy B: Sell 50 AAPL    │
   │ Strategy C: Buy 30 AAPL     │
   └──────────┬──────────────────┘
              │
2. Group by Compatibility:
   ┌──────────▼──────────────────┐
   │ (AAPL, Market, None)        │
   │   - Order A: +100           │
   │   - Order B: -50            │
   │   - Order C: +30            │
   └──────────┬──────────────────┘
              │
3. Calculate Net:
   ┌──────────▼──────────────────┐
   │ Net = +100 - 50 + 30 = +80  │
   └──────────┬──────────────────┘
              │
4. Execute Net Order:
   ┌──────────▼──────────────────┐
   │ Buy 80 AAPL @ Market        │
   └──────────┬──────────────────┘
              │
5. Allocate Fill:
   ┌──────────▼──────────────────┐
   │ Strategy A: +38 shares      │
   │ Strategy B: -19 shares      │
   │ Strategy C: +11 shares      │
   └─────────────────────────────┘

       - If net = 0: fully netted, cancel all orders
       - If net ≠ 0: create aggregated order with net amount

Order Netting Algorithm

Compatibility Rules

Orders can be aggregated if: 1. Same asset (AAPL vs AAPL, not AAPL vs GOOGL) 2. Same order type (Market vs Market, or Limit vs Limit) 3. Same limit price (for Limit orders) 4. Same execution timeframe (same bar)

Orders CANNOT be aggregated if they differ on any of the above.

Example 2: Simple 2-Strategy Netting

from rustybt.finance.execution import MarketOrder
from rustybt.assets import Equity

# Collect orders from strategies
orders = {
    "momentum": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("100")),  # Buy 100
    ],
    "mean_reversion": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("-50")),  # Sell 50
    ],
}

# Aggregate orders
result = aggregator.aggregate_orders(orders)

# Check results
print(f"Original orders: {result.original_orders_count}")  # 2
print(f"Aggregated orders: {len(result.aggregated_orders)}")  # 1
print(f"Fully netted: {result.fully_netted_count}")  # 0

# Get aggregated order
agg_order = result.aggregated_orders[0]
print(f"Net amount: {agg_order.net_amount}")  # Decimal('50')
print(f"Direction: {agg_order.direction.value}")  # 'buy'
print(f"Strategies: {agg_order.num_strategies}")  # 2

# Commission savings
print(f"Savings: ${float(result.total_savings):.2f}")  # e.g., $0.25
print(f"Savings %: {float(result.savings_pct):.1f}%")  # e.g., 33.3%

Example 3: Complex 3-Strategy Netting

# Multiple strategies trading same asset
orders = {
    "momentum": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("100")),  # Buy 100
    ],
    "mean_reversion": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("-80")),  # Sell 80
    ],
    "trend_following": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("30")),   # Buy 30
    ],

# Aggregate
result = aggregator.aggregate_orders(orders)

# Net: +100 - 80 + 30 = +50
agg_order = result.aggregated_orders[0]
print(f"Net amount: {agg_order.net_amount}")  # Decimal('50')

# Contributions
for contrib in agg_order.contributions:

          f"({float(contrib.contribution_pct):.1%})")
    # momentum: +100 (47.6%)
    # mean_reversion: -80 (38.1%)
    # trend_following: +30 (14.3%)

Example 4: Full Netting (Zero Net)

# Offsetting orders from two strategies
orders = {
    "strategy_a": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("100")),   # Buy 100
    ],
    "strategy_b": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("-100")),  # Sell 100
    ],
}

# Aggregate
result = aggregator.aggregate_orders(orders)

# Net = +100 - 100 = 0 (fully netted)
print(f"Aggregated orders: {len(result.aggregated_orders)}")  # 0 (none to execute)
print(f"Fully netted: {result.fully_netted_count}")  # 2

# Commission savings: 100% (no orders executed)
print(f"Savings: ${float(result.total_savings):.2f}")  # e.g., $1.00
print(f"Savings %: {float(result.savings_pct):.1f}%")  # 100.0%

Example 5: Multiple Assets (Separate Netting)

# Orders for different assets
orders = {
    "momentum": [
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("AAPL"), amount=Decimal("100")),
        MarketOrder(asset=Equity("GOOGL"), amount=Decimal("50")),

# Aggregate

# Net fill: 50 shares @ $150.00

# Contributions:
# - momentum: +100 (buy)
# - mean_reversion: -80 (sell)

Best Practices

1. When to Use Aggregation

DO use aggregation when: - Running multiple strategies in same portfolio - Strategies trade same assets - Strategies execute at same time (same bar) - Commission costs are significant

DON'T use aggregation when: - Single strategy portfolio - Strategies trade different assets - Strategies execute at different times - Aggregation complexity outweighs savings

2. Commission Model

DO: - Provide accurate commission model to aggregator - Use same commission model as blotter - Account for minimum commission

# Use same commission model for aggregator and blotter
commission = PerShareCommission(
    cost_per_share=Decimal("0.005"),
    min_cost=Decimal("1.00"),
)

aggregator = OrderAggregator(commission_model=commission)
blotter = DecimalBlotter(commission_model=commission)

DON'T: - Use different commission models (inaccurate savings) - Omit commission model (uses simplified default)

3. Fill Allocation

DO: - Allocate fills proportionally to contributions - Preserve direction (buy/sell) - Verify allocation sum equals fill quantity

allocations = aggregator.allocate_fill(agg_order, fill_price, fill_qty)

# Verify
total_allocated = sum(abs(qty) for qty in allocations.values())
assert abs(total_allocated - fill_qty) < Decimal("0.01"), "Allocation mismatch"

DON'T: - Allocate fills equally (ignores contribution size) - Mix up directions (buy contributions get sells)

4. Monitoring

DO: - Track aggregation rate and savings - Log aggregation events - Monitor for unexpected behavior

# Log aggregation results
result = aggregator.aggregate_orders(orders)

logger.info(
    "order_aggregation",
    timestamp=str(timestamp),
    original_orders=result.original_orders_count,
    aggregated_orders=len(result.aggregated_orders),
    fully_netted=result.fully_netted_count,
    savings=f"${float(result.total_savings):.2f}",
    savings_pct=f"{float(result.savings_pct):.1f}%",
)

DON'T: - Aggregate without tracking savings - Ignore aggregation statistics

5. Compatibility Checking

DO: - Only aggregate compatible orders - Match asset, order type, limit price - Respect execution timeframe

DON'T: - Aggregate incompatible orders (different assets) - Aggregate market with limit orders - Aggregate orders from different bars

6. Partial Fills

DO: - Handle partial fills correctly - Allocate proportionally - Track unfilled amounts

# If partial fill occurs
fill_qty = Decimal("30")  # Only 30 of 50 filled

allocations = aggregator.allocate_fill(agg_order, fill_price, fill_qty)

# Each strategy gets proportional partial fill
# Remaining 20 shares: handle as unfilled order

DON'T: - Assume full fills always - Ignore unfilled amounts

7. Statistics Tracking

DO: - Use get_statistics() for aggregation metrics - Track cumulative savings - Monitor aggregation rate

stats = aggregator.get_statistics()

print(f"Total orders processed: {stats['total_orders_processed']}")
print(f"Aggregation rate: {stats['aggregation_rate']}")
print(f"Cumulative savings: {stats['cumulative_savings']}")

DON'T: - Ignore aggregation statistics - Skip performance analysis

Summary

RustyBT's order aggregation system provides significant transaction cost savings for multi-strategy portfolios:

✅ Order Netting: Combine offsetting orders before execution ✅ Commission Savings: 30-70% typical savings, up to 100% for full netting ✅ Fill Allocation: Proportional distribution back to strategies ✅ Statistics Tracking: Monitor aggregation effectiveness ✅ Production-Ready: Comprehensive logging, validation, audit trail

Key Takeaway: Use OrderAggregator in multi-strategy portfolios to reduce transaction costs by netting offsetting orders across strategies before execution. Monitor savings with get_statistics() to verify effectiveness.

Typical Savings: - 2 strategies, 50% overlap: 25-35% savings - 3 strategies, 30% overlap: 30-50% savings - Full netting (100% overlap): 100% savings
