We examine the dynamics of the bid and ask queues of a limit order book and their relationship with the intensity of trade arrivals. In particular, we study the probability of price movements and trade arrivals as a function of the quote imbalance at the top of the limit order book. We propose a stochastic model in an attempt to capture the joint dynamics of the top of the book queues and the trading process, and describe a semi-analytic approach to calculate the relative probability of market events. We calibrate the model using historical market data and discuss the quality of fit and practical applications of the results.

  1. Boltzmann Price: Toward Understanding the Fair Price in High-Frequency Markets

    q-fin.TR 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A maximum-entropy 'Boltzmann price' family interpolates between mid-price and weighted mid-price, and its imbalance-driven dynamics generate fat-tailed price changes that broadly resemble historical equity data.
