Liquidity takers behavior representation through a contrastive learning approach

Thanks to the access to the labeled orders on the CAC40 data from Euronext, we are able to analyze agents' behaviors in the market based on their placed orders. In this study, we construct a self-supervised learning model using triplet loss to effectively learn the representation of agent market orders. By acquiring this learned representation, various downstream tasks become feasible. In this work, we utilize the K-means clustering algorithm on the learned representation vectors of agent orders to identify distinct behavior types within each cluster.

The self-exciting nature of the bid-ask spread dynamics

The bid-ask spread, which is defined by the difference between the best selling price and the best buying price in a Limit Order Book at a given time, is a crucial factor in the analysis of financial securities. In this study, we propose a "State-dependent Spread Hawkes model" (SDSH) that accounts for various spread jump sizes and incorporates the impact of the current spread state on its intensity functions. We apply this model to the high-frequency data from the Cac40 Euronext market and capture several statistical properties, such as the spread distributions, inter-event time distributions, and spread autocorrelation functions. We illustrate the ability of the SDSH model to forecast spread values at short-term horizons.
