Published / Preprint: A Compound Multifractal Model for High-Frequency Asset Returns. (arXiv:1408.3650v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 05:37 PM PDT

This paper builds a model of high-frequency equity returns in clock time by separately modeling the dynamics of trade-time returns and trade arrivals. Our main contributions are threefold. First, we characterize the distributional behavior of high-frequency asset returns both in clock time and trade time and show that when controlling for pre-scheduled market news events, trade-time returns are...

Published / Preprint: Maximum Entropy Production Principle for Stock Returns. (arXiv:1408.3728v1 [q-fin.ST])

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 05:37 PM PDT

In our previous studies we have investigated the structural complexity of time series describing stock returns on New York's and Warsaw's stock exchanges, by employing two estimators of Shannon's entropy rate based on Lempel-Ziv and Context Tree Weighting algorithms, which were originally used for data compression. Such structural complexity of the time series describing logarithmic stock returns...

Published / Preprint: Risk Minimization in Markets Imposing Minimal Transaction Costs. (arXiv:1408.3774v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 05:37 PM PDT

We study partial hedging for game options in markets with transaction costs bounded from below. More precisely, we assume that the investor's transaction costs for each trade are the minimum between proportional transaction costs and a fixed transaction costs. We prove that in the continuous time Black--Scholes (BS) model, there exists a trading strategy which minimizes the shortfall...
