Prior theory suggests a positive relation between volatility and market depth, while past empirical research finds contrasting results. This paper examines the relation between the volatility and the limit order book depth in commodity and foreign exchange futures markets during a turbulent time using the generalized method of moments (GMM). Results indicate a negative relation between volatility and depth and suggest that the depth in the limit order book decreases as volatility increases. Findings help to understand how market participants provide liquidity in response to shifts in prices.

This paper investigates fundamental stochastic attributes of the random structures of the volume profiles of the limit order book. We find statistical evidence that heavy-tailed sub-exponential volume profiles occur on the limit order book and these features are best captured via the generalized Pareto distribution MLE method. In futures exchanges, the heavy tail features are not asset class dependent and occur on ultra or mid-range high frequency. Volume forecasting models should account for heavy tails, time varying parameters and long memory. In application, utilizing the generalized Pareto distribution to model volume profiles allows one to avoid over-estimating the round trip cost of trading.
