Abstract

We proposed a model of interacting market agents based on the Potts spin model. The agents can take three actions: "buy," "sell," or "stay inactive." We defined a price evolution in terms of magnetization of the system. The model reproduces main stylized facts of real markets such as: fat-tailed distribution of returns, volatility clustering and a power-low decay of autocorrelation of absolute returns.
