Fig 4. Forecast of crashes amplitudes using order book volumes.

Fig 4

For the 14 most extreme negative returns that have occurred between Jan 1, 2013 and Apr 10, 2013, we compare the realised return with: (Left) the net imbalance 𝒪B during the period (usually a few hours) and (Right) the liquidity-adjusted imbalance OB1(𝒪B). This illustrates the relevance of the OB liquidity measure to predict the amplitudes of crashes—even in the most extreme cases.
