Descriptive statistics <strong>of</strong> order arrival processes <strong>of</strong> the BHP, NAB, NCP, TLS and WOW stock.<br />
The order categories are def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> Table 2. “v ≥ 75%” means that the quoted volume is equal or<br />
<strong>high</strong>er than the 75%-quantile <strong>of</strong> all order volumes. The table shows the number <strong>of</strong> orders <strong>in</strong> the<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividual categories as well as their correspond<strong>in</strong>g percentage with respect to the complete<br />
sample <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dividual stock. The sample conta<strong>in</strong>s all market and limit orders <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />
stocks traded on the ASX dur<strong>in</strong>g July and August 2002, correspond<strong>in</strong>g to 45 trad<strong>in</strong>g days<br />
reta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g sufficient observations <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dividual dimensions, we use the 75%quantile<br />
as a natural compromise for the choice <strong>of</strong> the selection threshold. Hence,<br />
we select those aggressive orders whose posted volume is equal or <strong>high</strong>er than the<br />
75%-quantile <strong>of</strong> all order volumes. Correspond<strong>in</strong>gly, aggressive cancellations are<br />
cancellations <strong>of</strong> pend<strong>in</strong>g limit orders with a volume equal or <strong>high</strong>er than the 75%quantile<br />
<strong>of</strong> all order volumes. This selection rule leads to a significant reduction <strong>of</strong><br />
the sample size result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 9,316, 10,463, 9,142, 3,102, and 3,438 observations for<br />
BHP, NAB, NCP, TLS, and WOW respectively (see Table 3).
