The Peter, Paul & Mary Principle

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 04:06 AM PST

I was chatting to a friend the other day about someone they work with.  He was finding the colleague’s behaviour unbelievable, to the point where he realised that they must just be entirely out of their depth; totally incapable of functioning in the job in which they’d been given.read more...

Blog Post: TheFinancialServicesClub: The challenge of being a Bitcoin trader

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 03:51 AM PST

I spotted a blog entry by Tom Gullen this week regarding the challenges of being a Bitcoin company in the UK.  It is interesting, as I have heard the same issues with several other Bitcoin companies in Britain so I asked Tom if he'd mind me reproducing his blog entry here.  He said it's ok, so here's his story and something for all of us to bear in mind when we trade in...

Published / Preprint: Measures of uncertainty in market network analysis. (arXiv:1311.2273v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 05:38 PM PST

Statistical uncertainty of different filtration techniques for market network analysis is studied. Two measures of statistical uncertainty are discussed. One is based on conditional risk for multiple decision statistical procedures and another one is based on average fraction of errors. It is shown that for some important cases the second measure is a particular case of the first one. Statistical...

Published / Preprint: Spin Glasses and Nonlinear Constraints in Portfolio Optimization. (arXiv:1311.2511v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 05:38 PM PST

We discuss the portfolio optimization problem with the obligatory deposits constraint. Recently it has been shown that as a consequence of this nonlinear constraint, the solution consists of an exponentially large number of optimal portfolios, completely different from each other, and extremely sensitive to any changes in the input parameters of the problem, making the concept of rational...

Published / Preprint: The Kelly growth optimal strategy with a stop-loss rule. (arXiv:1311.2550v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 05:38 PM PST

From the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for the value function we derive a non-linear partial differential equation for the optimal portfolio strategy (the dynamic control). The equation is general in the sense, that it does not depend on the terminal utility, and provides additional analytical insight for some optimal investment problems with known solution. Furthermore when...

Blog Post: WealthandCapitalMarketsBlog: Chat, Instant Messaging, Blogs and Trading

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 02:47 PM PST

This morning I read an article in my favorite financial (serious) paper about how the FX price manipulation scandal that is unfolding may make banks ban traders from using trading chat rooms. And that some were looking at ways to replace these trader conversations to bilateral phone conversations. I did check and today is not April’s food day. Maybe I am out of my mind, could be, please...

Research Library: Reciprocity as the Foundation of Financial Economics

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 08:13 AM PST

Timothy C. Johnson The Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences October 10, 2013 Abstract:     This paper argues that the fundamental principle of contemporary financial economics is balanced reciprocity, not the principle of utility maximisation that is important in economics more generally. The argument is developed by analysing the mathematical Fundamental Theory of...

Published / Preprint: Unbiased community detection for correlation matrices. (arXiv:1311.1924v1 [physics.data-an])

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 05:38 PM PST

A challenging problem in the study of large complex systems is that of resolving, without prior information, the emergent mesoscopic organization determined by groups of units whose dynamical activity is more strongly correlated internally than with the rest of the system. The existing techniques to filter correlations are not explicitly oriented at identifying such modules and suffer from an...
