Self-organised criticality in high frequency finance: the case of flash crashes
With the rise of computing and artificial intelligence, advanced modeling and forecasting has been applied to High Frequency markets. A crucial element of solid production modeling though relies on the investigation of data distributions and how they relate to modeling assumptions. In this work we investigate volume distributions during anomalous price events and show how their tail exponents < 2 indicate a diverging second moment of the distribution, i.e. variance. We then tie the dynamics of flash crashes to self-organised criticality. The findings are of great relevance for regulators and market makers as they advocate for rigorous heavy-tailed modeling of risk and changes in regulation to avoid simultaneous liquidity withdrawals and hard risk constraints which lead to synchronisation and critical events.

The Self-Organized Criticality Paradigm in Economics & Finance
``Self-Organised Criticality'' (SOC) is the mechanism by which complex systems spontaneously settle close to a *critical point*, at the edge between stability and chaos, and characterized by fat-tailed fluctuations and l…
Cognitive Aging as Interplay between Hebbian Learning and Criticality
Cognitive ageing seems to be a story of global degradation. As one ages there are a number of physical, chemical and biological changes that take place. Therefore it is logical to assume that the brain is no exception to…
Criticality Analysis: Bio-inspired Nonlinear Data Representation
The representation of arbitrary data in a biological system is one of the most elusive elements of biological information processing. The often logarithmic nature of information in amplitude and frequency presented to bi…
Limit theorems for nearly unstable Hawkes processes
Because of their tractability and their natural interpretations in term of market quantities, Hawkes processes are nowadays widely used in high-frequency finance. However, in practice, the statistical estimation results …
