The obmodeling package is designed to allow for modeling of order book features and dynamics based on L1 and L2 data. It includes analytical methods and graphiocs drawn from the microstructure literature and aims to be useful both for professional and academic researchers.

• Depth of the market at a given time

• Volume

• Price movement through the day

• Weighted Midpoint (Cartea 2015)

• Market spread (Jong 2009, 91–96)

• Measures of liquidity (Cartea 2015)

• Measures of volatility (Jong 2009, 92; Cartea 2015)

• PIT/VPIT (O. Easley D. 1996; L. de P. Easley D. 2012)
