This paper started from moving average method. After finding that the physical meaning of moving average is somehow not clear, this paper modified the moving average and proposed a new model called volume weighted moving average (VWMA).The VWMA model has been applied to mainland China's stock...

Backtesting stock market investment strategies is fraught with danger – for example, overfitting. The signal to noise ratio in stock markets is so low that overfitting is inevitable. Simulation offers a means of assessing and compensating for the dangers. It is not obvious at first how...

We propose a novel intraday instantaneous volatility measure which utilises sequences of drawdowns and drawups non-equidistantly spaced in physical time as indicators of high-frequency activity of financial markets. The sequences are re-expressed in terms of directional-change intrinsic time...

The Regression Tree (RT) sorts the samples using a specific feature and finds the split point that produces the maximum variance reduction from a node to its children. Our key observation is that the best factor to use (in terms of MSE drop) is always the target itself, as this most clearly...

One of the most popular univariate asymmetric conditional volatility models is the exponential GARCH (or EGARCH) specification. In addition to asymmetry, which captures the different effects on conditional volatility of positive and negative effects of equal magnitude, EGARCH can also...

Of the two most widely estimated univariate asymmetric conditional volatility models, the exponential GARCH (or EGARCH) specification can capture asymmetry, which refers to the different effects on conditional volatility of positive and negative effects of equal magnitude, and leverage, which...

We analyze the stock market return predictability for three different periods. We evaluate the conditional variance (CV) and the variance risk premium (VRP) as predictors of stock market returns for which we are using well-established versions of the heterogeneous auto-regressive (HAR) model and...

In the class of univariate conditional volatility models, the three most popular are the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model of Engle (1982) and Bollerslev (1986), the GJR (or threshold GARCH) model of Glosten, Jagannathan and Runkle (1992), and the...
