Ultra High Frequency (UHF) quotes and trades are examined in high resolution. Patterns which do not correspond to plausible market activity as in Brownlees and Gallo (2006) are observed. Noise other than microstructure noise is identified and diagnostic methods are evaluated. Extending...

High resolution Ultra High Frequency (UHF) quotes and trades are examined to detect patterns which do not correspond to plausible market activity as in Brownlees and Gallo (2006). Non-microstructure noise is identified as a process. Methods of treatment are evaluated. A resultant paradigm of...

The pattern of dependence between liquidity, durations (orders and trades) and bid-ask spreads in a limit order market are examined in high resolution invoking copulas and graph theory. Using intraday data from a sample of NASDAQ 100 stocks and an experimental design, we study the information...

This paper investigates the information content present in the quotes in an order driven market without the presence of designated market makers. A representation is proposed that recognises the ability of participants in such markets to observe market events and calibrate their quoting...

The tatonnement process in high frequency order driven markets is modeled as a search by buyers for sellers and vice-versa. We propose a total order book model, comprising limit orders and latent orders, in the absence of a market maker. A zero intelligence approach of agents is employed using a...
