In the present work we introduce a stochastic cellular automata model in order to simulate the dynamics of the stock market. A direct percolation method is used to create a hierarchy of clusters of active traders on a two dimensional grid. Active traders are characterised by the decision to buy, (+1), or sell, (-1), a …

We present a plausible micro-founded model for the previously postulated power law finite time singular form of the crash hazard rate in the Johansen-Ledoit-Sornette model of rational expectation bubbles. The model is based on a percolation picture of the network of traders and the concept that clusters of connected tr…

In an illiquid stock, traders can collude and place orders on a predetermined price and quantity at a fixed schedule. This is usually done to manipulate the price of the stock or to create artificial liquidity in the stock, which may mislead genuine investors. Here, the problem is to identify such group of colluding tr…

We investigate the statistical properties of the EBS order book for the EUR/USD and USD/JPY currency pairs and the impact of a ten-fold tick size reduction on its dynamics. A large fraction of limit orders are still placed right at or halfway between the old allowed prices. This generates price barriers where the best …

We give a microscopic representation of the stock-market in which the microscopic agents are the individual traders and their capital. Their basic dynamics consists in the auto-catalysis of the individual capital and in the global competition/cooperation between the agents mediated by the total wealth invested in the s…

We use the database leak of Mt. Gox exchange to analyze the dynamics of the price of bitcoin from June 2011 to November 2013. This gives us a rare opportunity to study an emerging retail-focused, highly speculative and unregulated market with trader identifiers at a tick transaction level. Jumps are frequent events and…

In this paper we extend the theory of option pricing to take into account and explain the empirical evidence for asset prices such as non-Gaussian returns, long-range dependence, volatility clustering, non-Gaussian copula dependence, as well as theoretical issues such as asymmetric information and the presence of limit…

We solved a stylized fact on a long memory process of volatility cluster phenomena by using Minkowski metric for GARCH(1,1) under assumption that price and time can not be separated. We provide a Yang-Mills equation in financial market and anomaly on superspace of time series data as a consequence of the proof from the…

Quantitative analysis of order-splitting behavior in Japanese stock market.

problem Understanding and quantifying the order-splitting behavior of traders in the Japanese stock market.
method Analysis of a large dataset of trading accounts over nine years, clustering traders into order-splitting and random traders, and applying statistical methods to analyze metaorder length and sign correlation.
result The metaorder length distribution follows power laws with exponent α, and the sign correlation exponent γ is approximately α-1, supporting the LMF model.

Study validates Lillo-Mike-Farmer model predicting financial market long-range correlations.

problem Quantifying long-range correlations in financial markets.
method Analyzed nine years of market data to classify traders as order-splitting or random, measured metaorder-length distributions, and compared to LMF model predictions.
result Agreement between LMF model predictions and actual data, validating the model.

A network-based approach identifies financial factors from asset interactions, explaining market dynamics.

problem Characterizing joint financial asset behavior through underlying drivers.
method Modeling market as coupled iterated maps, where asset returns depend on past returns and interactions.
result Stable patterns of co-movement (financial factors) emerge from asset interactions, explaining asset variance.

We propose a three-state microscopic opinion formation model for the purpose of simulating the dynamics of financial markets. In order to mimic the heterogeneous composition of the mass of investors in a market, the agent-based model considers two different types of traders: noise traders and contrarians. Agents are re…

method Agent-based model with Erdös-Rényi random graph structure, incorporating anxiety parameter.
result Model accurately reproduces key market features like fat-tailed returns and volatility clustering.

Investigates market dynamics with informed traders and high-frequency traders.

problem Trading large orders in a market with multiple high-frequency traders.
method Analyzes a three-period Kyle's model with a normal-speed informed trader and multiple anticipatory high-frequency traders under different inventory pressures.
result Surprising results: improving HFTs' speed or prediction can harm them but benefit the informed trader.

The paper extends option pricing theory for markets with informed traders.
