While the long-ranged correlation of market orders and their impact on prices has been relatively well studied in the literature, the corresponding studies of limit orders and cancellations are scarce. We provide here an empirical study of the cross-correlation between all these different...

We conclude from an analysis of high resolution NYSE data that the distribution of the traded value fi (or volume) has a finite variance σi for the very large majority of stocks i, and the distribution itself is non-universal across stocks. The Hurst exponent of the same time series displays a...

Order flow in equity markets is remarkably persistent in the sense that order signs (to buy or sell) are positively autocorrelated out to time lags of tens of thousands of orders, corresponding to many days. Two possible explanations are herding, corresponding to positive correlation in the...

The estimation of the correlation between time series is often hampered by the asynchronicity of the signals. Cumulating data within a time window suppresses this source of noise but weakens the statistics. We present a method to estimate correlations without applying long time windows. We...

We analyse the temporal changes in the cross-correlations of returns on the New York Stock Exchange. We show that lead–lag relationships between daily returns of stocks vanished in less than 20 years. We have found that even for high-frequency data the asymmetry of time-dependent...

The Epps effect, the decrease of correlations between stock returns for short time windows, was traced back to the trading asynchronicity and to the occasional lead-lag relation between the prices. We study pairs of stocks where the latter is negligible and confirm the importance of...
