Fractional calculus and continuous-time finance II: the waiting-time distribution

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v2 Computational Finance

Abstract

We complement the theory of tick-by-tick dynamics of financial markets based on a Continuous-Time Random Walk (CTRW) model recently proposed by Scalas et al., and we point out its consistency with the behaviour observed in the waiting-time distribution for BUND future prices traded at LIFFE, London.
