Abstract: We study the inter-trade durations in the Nasdaq limit order market and find that inter-trade durations in high frequency have two modes, one is around 10^−4 second and the other is of order 10^0 second. To interpret this phenomenon and find how the modes depend on information in the limit order book (LOB), we propose a two-state multi-factor regime switching model for inter-trade durations, in which the time-varying probability transition matrices of inter-trade durations depend on some LOB variables. We study the properties of the model, such as ergodicity, over-dispersion, and exogenity, and use the Expectation- Maximization algorithm to make inference on model parameters. Simulation studies show that our model does generate the bimodal distributions for inter-trade durations. We then use the model to analyze the Nasdaq stock data, and show that both the in-sample and the out-of-sample performances of our model are better than those of some benchmark duration models. Our empirical study also shows that two modes of inter-trade durations are dependent on some LOB factors. The talk is based on a joint work with Zhicheng Li and Haipeng Xing.
