Is slippage minimization even a tractable problem besides applying loose heuristics derived from empirical insights, e.g., identifying reliable early-signals of narrowing spreads and increased liquidity for a given exchange?

I have used statistical models of volatility to improve execution prices.

It doesn’t require very advanced modeling to estimate a probability of e.g. getting filled at midprice (saving half the bid/ask spread) within a short time period.

Just basic Bayesian with a look-back window.

Execution cost is a big topic in the trading industry.

Love it, such a straightforward formulation.
Can you elaborate how did you do that?
Yes it is.
Would you be so nice to bother to put some arguments under your statement? As it is, it provides very little to this discussion. Thank you!
