Published / Preprint: Fractality of profit landscapes and validation of time series models for stock prices. (arXiv:1308.1749v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 08 Aug 2013 05:30 PM PDT

We apply a simple trading strategy for various time series of real and artificial stock prices to understand the origin of fractality observed in the resulting profit landscapes. The strategy contains only two parameters $p$ and $q$, and the sell (buy) decision is made when the log return is larger (smaller) than $p$ ($-q$). We discretize the unit square $(p, q) \in [0, 1] \times [0, 1]$...

Published / Preprint: Admissible Trading Strategies under Transaction Costs. (arXiv:1308.1492v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 05:31 PM PDT

A well known result in stochastic analysis reads as follows: for an $\mathbb{R}$-valued super-martingale $X = (X_t)_{0\leq t \leq T}$ such that the terminal value $X_T$ is non-negative, we have that the entire process $X$ is non-negative. An analogous result holds true in the no arbitrage theory of mathematical finance: under the assumption of no arbitrage, a portfolio...

Published / Preprint: Complexity, Chaos, and the Duffing-Oscillator Model: An Analysis of Inventory Fluctuations in Markets. (arXiv:1308.1616v1 [q-fin.GN])

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 05:31 PM PDT

Apparently random financial fluctuations often exhibit varying levels of complexity, chaos. Given limited data, predictability of such time series becomes hard to infer. While efficient methods of Lyapunov exponent computation are devised, knowledge about the process driving the dynamics greatly facilitates the complexity analysis. This paper shows that quarterly inventory changes of wheat in the...

Published / Preprint: Random matrix approach to dynamic evolution of cross-correlations in the Chinese stock market. (arXiv:1308.1154v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 05:38 PM PDT

We study the dynamic evolution of cross-correlations in the Chinese stock market mainly based on the random matrix theory (RMT). The correlation matrices constructed from the return series of 367 A-share stocks traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange from January 4, 1999 to December 30, 2011 are calculated over a rolling window with a size of 400 days. As a consequence, a thorough study of the...

Published / Preprint: Asset Allocation under the Basel Accord Risk Measures. (arXiv:1308.1321v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 05:38 PM PDT

Financial institutions are currently required to meet more stringent capital requirements than they were before the recent financial crisis; in particular, the capital requirement for a large bank's trading book under the Basel 2.5 Accord more than doubles that under the Basel II Accord. The significant increase in capital requirements renders it necessary for banks to take into account the...
