LOB Micro-Regime Early Detection — Summary
|
||
|
||
Overview
|
||
--------
|
||
This project studies early detection of latent instability in limit order books (LOB) before observable liquidity stress.
|
||
|
||
A causal three-regime model is used:
|
||
- Regime 0: Stable
|
||
- Regime 1: Latent build-up (hidden deterioration)
|
||
- Regime 2: Stress (observable disruption)
|
||
|
||
The transition from build-up to stress occurs with a delay, enabling evaluation of early detection.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
Method
|
||
------
|
||
The proposed detector combines:
|
||
- Probabilistic instability (HMM posterior entropy)
|
||
- Temporal drift (spread, depth dynamics)
|
||
- Structural signals (depth erosion, order flow)
|
||
|
||
Final detection uses:
|
||
- MAX-trigger fusion across channels
|
||
- Rising-edge detection (onset of instability)
|
||
- Early-detection constraint (ensuring signals precede stress)
|
||

Evaluation Metrics
|
||
------------------
|
||
- Lead-time: Δ = σ − τ (positive = early detection)
|
||
- Precision: fraction of detections occurring before stress
|
||
- Coverage: fraction of stress events detected early
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
Results
|
||
-------
|
||
Adaptive Trigger (final method):
|
||
- Mean Δ (lead-time): +18.62 steps
|
||
- Precision: 100%
|
||
- Coverage: 52.6%
|
||
|
||
Other variants:
|
||
- Model: Δ = +14.95 | Precision = 100% | Coverage = 43.2%
|
||
- Multi-Trigger: Δ = +13.15 | Precision = 100% | Coverage = 28.1%
|
||
|
||
Baselines:
|
||
- Imbalance: Δ = -24.84 | Precision = 54.9% | Coverage = 78.7%
|
||
- Volatility: Δ = -32.02 | Precision = 45.5% | Coverage = 43.3%

Key Findings
|
||
------------
|
||
- Latent instability signals exist prior to observable stress.
|
||
- Standard baselines are reactive (negative lead-time).
|
||
- Trigger-based detection enables strictly positive lead-time.
|
||
- A trade-off exists between early detection and coverage.
|
||
- Depth erosion and entropy are the dominant early indicators.
