Log-periodic oscillations have been used to predict price trends and crashes on financial markets. So far two types of log-periodic oscillations have been associated with the real markets. The first type oscillations accompany a rising market and end in a crash. The second type oscillations,...

We study the flow of money among agents in a Barabasi–Albert (BA) scale free network, where each network node represents an agent and money exchange interactions are established through links. The system allows money trade between two agents at a time, betting a fraction f of the poorer’s...

The generalized Lotka–Voltera (GLV) formalism has been introduced in order to explain the power law distributions in the individual wealth (wi(t)) (Pareto law) and financial markets returns (fluctuations) (r) as a result of the auto-catalytic (multiplicative random) character of the individual...

Close examination of wealth distributions reveal the existence of two distinct power law regimes. The Pareto exponents of the super-rich, identified, for example in rich lists such as provided by Forbes, are smaller than the Pareto exponents obtained for top earners in income data sets. Our...

We investigate the local fractal properties of the financial time series based on the whole history evolution (1991–2007) of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Index (WIG), connected with the largest developing financial market in Europe. Calculating the so-called local time-dependent Hurst exponent...

We propose a mathematical model of momentum risk-taking, which is essentially real-time risk management focused on short-term volatility. Its implementation, a fully automated momentum equity trading system, is systematically discussed in this paper. It proved to be successful in extensive...
