+TRADES-LOB: a new synthetic LOB dataset:
+In market microstructure research, one major problem is the unavailability of a large LOB dataset. The only TRADES-LOB comprises simulated TRADES market data fmany and Intel for two
+days. Specifically, the dataset is structured into four CSV files, each containing 50 columns. The initial six columns delineate the order features, followed by 40 columns that represent a snapshot of the
+LOB across the top 10 levels. The concluding four columns provide key financial metrics: mid-price, spread, order volume imbalance, and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), which can be useful
+for downstream financial tasks, such as stock price prediction. In total, the dataset is composed of 265,986 rows and 13,299,300 cells, which is similar in size to the benchmark FI-2010 dataset [46 ].
