 SSRN-Stop-Loss Orders and Price Cascades in Currency Markets by Carol Osler
My analysis of high-frequency exchange rates offers three main results that provide empirical support for the hypothesis that stop-loss orders contribute to price cascades: (1) Exchange rate trends are unusually rapid when rates reach exchange rate levels at which stop-loss order have been documented to cluster.
Together, these results indicate that stop-loss orders propagate trends and are sometimes triggered in waves, contributing to price cascades.
Stop-loss propagated price cascades may help explain the well-known fat tails of the distribution of exchange rate returns, or equivalently the high frequency of large exchange rate moves.
