The paper introduces a Causal Market Simulator using a continuous‑time causal prior‑data fitted network (PFN) to estimate market impact, addressing bias from informational flow that traditional models overlook. On a synthetic market prior with adjustable confounding, the PFN matches an unbiased oracle while a naive estimator overestimates by up to 68%. In zero‑shot tests on real limit‑order books and equity data, the model’s intervention responses align with ground‑truth scales and improve correlation with measured impact when a recurrent state‑space variant is used.

arXiv:2608. 13096v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Limit order book (LOB) simulators are most useful to practitioners when they combine realistic market dynamics, computationally efficient sampling, controllable scenario generation, and the ability to generalize beyond the instruments seen during training---properties that existing agent-based and deep generative simulators provide only partially.

The paper demonstrates that deep limit order book forecasting models can be repurposed to quantify scenario-conditioned market impact without retraining. By injecting counterfactual order‑book messages into a trained Transformer forecaster, the authors compare predictive distributions before and after the injection, defining a short‑horizon model‑implied market impact. The approach achieves a Spearman correlation of 0.99 and 97.2% directional agreement with historical outcomes for non‑neutral scenarios, and captures incremental sequence‑dependent variation beyond scenario identity and pre‑event forecasts.
