There has been a surge in interest in the analysis and prediction of high frequency time series in recent years. We consider the problem of predicting the direction of change in tick data of the U.S. dollar/Swiss Franc exchange rate. To accomplish this, we show that a Markov model can find regularities in certain local regions of the data and can be used to predict the direction of the next tick. Predictability seems to decrease in more recent years. With transaction costs, the model is…

A Study on Improving Prediction Accuracy by Modeling Multiple Similar Time Series

This research designed techniques to model multiple similar time series data and avoided the shortcomings of single prediction model and predicted the future changes by effective rules derived from these models.

The benefit of information reduction for trading strategies

Motivated by previous findings that discretization of financial time series can effectively filter the data and reduce the noise, this experimental study compares the trading performance of…

A Symbolic Dynamics Approach to Volatility PredictionPeter

Results on 12 non-overlapping epochs of the DJIA strongly suggest that PFMs can outperform both traditional Markov models and (continuous-valued) GARCH models in the task of predicting volatility one time-step ahead.

Volatility Trading ia Temporal Pattern Recognition in Quantised Financial Time Series

Experimental results show that by quantising the volatility differences and then using symbolic predictive models, market makers can sometimes generate a statistically significant excess profit.

Financial volatility trading using recurrent neural networks

It is argued that any report containing RNN results on financial tasks should be accompanied by results achieved by simple finite-memory sources combined with simple techniques to fight nonstationarity in the data.

A Two-Phase Stock Trading System Using Distributional Differences

This paper presents a two-phase stock trading system that aims at maximizing the rates of returns, with the usefulness of the rule induction method using distributional differences.

Temporal pattern recognition in noisy non-stationary time series based on quantization into symbolic streams. Lessons learned from financial volatility trading.

Experimental results show that by quantizing the volatility differences and then using symbolic predictive models, market makers can generate a statistically significant excess profit, and strongly suggest that the robust information reduction achieved by quantifying the real-valued time series is highly beneficial.

Process learning of network interactions in market microstructures

The study finds that on average, using information from multiple price levels gives better trend prediction results than typical ones learned on aggregate trade data.

A Two-Phase Stock Trading System based on Pattern Matching and Automatic Rule Induction

A two-phase stock trading system that aims at maximizing the rates of returns and the rules for filtering stocks are automatically induced from the data in those intervals of distinctive distribution are proposed.

Measuring the Efficiency of the Intraday Forex Market with a Universal Data Compression Algorithm

A universal Variable Order Markov (VOM) model is presented and used to test the weak form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis and Forex market turns out to be efficient, at least most of the time.
