Ensemble Methods for Capturing Dynamics of Limit Order Books

According to rapid development in information technology, limit order books(LOB) mechanism has emerged to prevail in today's nancial market. In this paper, we propose ensemble machine learning architectures for capturing the dynamics of high-frequency limit order books such as predicting price spread crossing opportunities in a future time interval. The paper is more data-driven oriented, so experiments with ve real-time stock data from NASDAQ, measured by nanosecond, are established. The models are trained and validated by training and validation data sets. Compared with other models, such as logistic regression, support vector machine(SVM), our out-of-sample testing results has shown that ensemble methods had better performance on both statistical measurements and computational eciency. A simple trading strategy that we devised by our models has shown good prot and loss(P&L) results. Although this paper focuses on limit order books, the similar frameworks and processes can be extended to other classication research area.
