• Title: The LOB Recreation Model: Predicting the Limit Order Book from TAQ History Using an Ordinary Differential Equation Recurrent Neural Network
• Authors: Zijian Shi, Yu Chen, John Cartlidge
• Abstract summary: We present the LOB recreation model, a first attempt from a deep learning perspective to recreate the top five price levels of the public limit order book (LOB) for small-tick stocks. By the paradigm of transfer learning, the source model trained on one stock can be fine-tuned to enable application to other financial assets of the same class.

• Abstract: In an order-driven financial market, the price of a financial asset is discovered through the interaction of orders - requests to buy or sell at a particular price - that are posted to the public limit order book (LOB). Therefore, LOB data is extremely valuable for modelling market dynamics. However, LOB data is not freely accessible, which poses a challenge to market participants and researchers wishing to exploit this information. Fortunately, trades and quotes (TAQ) data - orders arriving at the top of the LOB, and trades executing in the market - are more readily available. In this paper, we present the LOB recreation model, a first attempt from a deep learning perspective to recreate the top five price levels of the LOB for small-tick stocks using only TAQ data. Volumes of orders sitting deep in the LOB are predicted by combining outputs from: (1) a history compiler that uses a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) module to selectively compile prediction relevant quote history; (2) a market events simulator, which uses an Ordinary Differential Equation Recurrent Neural Network (ODE-RNN) to simulate the accumulation of net order arrivals; and (3) a weighting scheme to adaptively combine the predictions generated by (1) and (2). By the paradigm of transfer learning, the source model trained on one stock can be fine-tuned to enable application to other financial assets of the same class with much lower demand on additional data. Comprehensive experiments conducted on two real world intraday LOB datasets demonstrate that the proposed model can efficiently recreate the LOB with high accuracy using only TAQ data as input.

  We propose an end-to-end autoregressive generative model that generates tokenized limit order book (LOB) messages. Using NASDAQ equity LOBs, we develop a custom tokenizer for message data, converting groups of successive digits to tokens. Results show promising performance in approximating the data distribution, as evidenced by low model perplexity.

  It is still an open question to build a factor model that can conduct stock prediction in an online and adaptive setting. We propose the first deep learning based online and adaptive factor model, HireVAE, at the core of which is a hierarchical latent space that embeds the relationship between the market situation and stock-wise latent factors. Across four commonly used real stock market benchmarks, the proposed HireVAE demonstrate superior performance in terms of active returns over previous methods.

  Modern financial exchanges use an electronic limit order book (LOB) to store bid and ask orders for a specific financial asset. We propose a novel hybrid LOB simulation paradigm characterised by: (1) representing the aggregation of market events' logic by a neural background trader that is pre-trained on historical LOB data through a neural point model; and (2) embedding the background trader in a multi-agent simulation with other trading agents. We show that the stylised facts remain and we demonstrate order flow impact and financial herding behaviours that are in accordance with empirical observations of real markets.

  We propose a method to efficiently retain the knowledge available in a neural network pre-trained on a set of securities. In our method, the prior knowledge encoded in a pre-trained neural network is maintained by keeping existing connections fixed. This knowledge is adjusted for the new securities by a set of augmented connections, which are optimized using the new data.

  Traditional time-series econometric methods often appear incapable of capturing the true complexity of the multi-level interactions driving the price dynamics. By adopting a state-of-the-art second-order optimization algorithm, we train a Bayesian bilinear neural network with temporal attention. By addressing the use of predictive distributions to analyze errors and uncertainties associated with the estimated parameters and model forecasts, we thoroughly compare our Bayesian model with traditional ML alternatives.

  Active learning strategies aim at minimizing the amount of labelled data required to train a Deep Learning model. Most active strategies are based on uncertain sample selection, and even often restricted to samples lying close to the decision boundary. Here we propose to take into consideration common domain-knowledge and enable non-expert users to train a model with fewer samples.

  Market by order (MBO) data is a detailed feed of individual trade instructions for a given stock on an exchange. MBO data is largely neglected by current academic literature which focuses primarily on limit order books (LOBs) We provide the first predictive analysis on MBO data by carefully introducing the data structure and presenting a specific normalisation scheme. We show that while MBO-driven and LOB-driven models individually provide similar performance, ensembles of the two can lead to improvements in forecasting accuracy.

To remedy the first shortcoming, we propose to model the stock context and learn the effect of event information on the stocks under different contexts. To address the second shortcoming, we construct a stock graph and design a new propagation layer to propagate the effect of event information from related stocks.
