| contents | This study explores the application of Hawkes processes to model high-frequency data in the context of limit order books. Two distinct Hawkes-based models are proposed and analyzed: one utilizing exponential kernels and the other employing power-law kernels. These models are implemented within a bivariate framework. The performance of each model is evaluated using high-frequency trading data, with a focus on their ability to reproduce key statistical properties of limit order books. Through a comprehensive comparison, we identify the strengths and limitations of each kernel type, providing insights into their suitability for modeling high-frequency financial data. Simulations are conducted to validate the models, and the results are interpreted. Based on these insights, a trading strategy is formulated. |
