Stocks in which the firm accumulates large long (short) positions increase (decrease) by about 4% during the glitch and become substantially more illiquid. It takes one day for prices and spread-based liquidity measures to revert. Institutional trading costs, however, remain significantly higher for more than one week. Both liquidity measures are also weakly correlated outside the glitch period, suggesting they capture different aspects of liquidity.LiquidityAlgorithmic TradingInstitutional Trading CostsSlow-Moving CapitalMarket MakingSlow Moving Capital and Trade Execution Costs: Evidence from a major trading Glitchtext::journal::journal article::research article
