Abstract

The goal of this note is to describe a model for ultra high frequency prices and durations, the model with uncertainty zones developed in [27]. We also give some results from [28] and [29] which show how it can be used in practice for statistical estimation or in order to hedge derivatives. Before introducing this model, we briefly recall the classical approaches of price modelling in the so-called microstructure noise literature.
