SSRN |
"We find that a rise in BV-VPIN effectively foreshadows high-levels of volatility in the equities indices of several countries. If a BV-VPIN futures contract exists, we show that it would exhibit safe haven characteristics during market downturns. In particular, a simple active portfolio management strategy that times investments in equities (risk-free asset) when BV-VPIN levels are low (high) outperforms a buy-and-hold strategy. Thus, we find support for the application of BV-VPIN in international equities." |

Supercomputers could generate early-warning system for stock
market crashes |
"[...] Using the lab's Cray XE6 "Hopper" supercomputer, the Leinweber team found one precursor to a flash crash that
a supercomputer could identify. Called Volume-synchronized Probability of INformed trading, or VPIN, it detected an imbalance
between buy and sell orders, and growing volatility, about 45 minutes before
[the] crash". |

In "The

how the flash crash of May 6th 2010 was caused by
order imbalance.
Our explanation contrasted with the official SEC-CFTC report, which blamed a large
mutual fund's order of 75,000 futures contracts for the debacle (supposedly originated by
Waddell & Reed). Five years after that event, the U.S. Department
of Justice has finally filed criminal charges against a high-frequency trader for causing
that order imbalance: "His conduct was at least significantly responsible for the order imbalance that in turn was one of the conditions that led to the flash crash," CFTC head of enforcement Aitan Goelman told a conference call with journalists. |

"VPIN (Volume synchronized Probability of Informed trading) is a leading indicator of liquidity-induced volatility. It is best known for having produced a signal more than hours before the Flash Crash of 2010. On that day, the market saw the biggest one-day point decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which culminated to the market value of $1 trillion disappearing, but only to recover those losses twenty minutes later (Lauricella 2010)." |

The Journal of Financial Markets has announced the withdrawal of the paper titled "VPIN and the Flash Crash", written by Torben G. Andersen and Oleg Bondarenko. This paper had been accepted for publication six months earlier, and claimed that "VPIN is a poor predictor of short run volatility". We had expressed our concerns regarding Andersen and Bondarenko's implementation of VPIN in our paper "VPIN and the Flash Crash: A Comment". Sadly, the withdrawal of this paper has not been given as much publicity as its initial publication [1, 2]. However, withdrawing a paper from an academic journal is an exceptional action, and I commend JFM's editors as well as Andersen and Bondarenko for taking that step.

Menkveld and Yueshen examine VPIN during the flash crash, and show
that "the large seller's relative presence in the market co-moves
negatively with flow toxicity. This finding is consistent with strategic
trading: she sells passively during upturns (her limit sell orders are taken
out), sells aggressively right after an upturn, and does not trade in
downturns." |
