Specialized topics on financial data analysis from a numerical and physical point of view are discussed. They pertain to the analysis of crash prediction in stock market indices and to the persistence or not of coherent and random sequences in fluctuations of foreign exchange currency rates. A brief historical introduction to crashes is given, including recent observations on the DJIA and the S & P500. Daily data of the DAX index are specifically used for illustration. The method for…

We propose that the herding behavior of traders leads not only to speculative bubbles with accelerating over-valuations of financial markets possibly followed by crashes, but also to "anti-bubbles"…
How the financial crash of October 1997 could have been predicted
Abstract:From the analysis of (closing value) stock market index like the Dow Jones Industrial average and the S&P500 it is possible to observe the precursor of a so-called crash. This is shown on…

A statistical analysis of log-periodic precursors to financial crashes*
TLDR
The evidence of log-periodic precursors to financial crashes is considered, the claim that two separate mechanisms are needed to explain the frequency distribution of draw downs in the S&P 500 is examined, and the evidence supporting this claim is found to be unconvincing.
Significance of Log-Periodic Precursors to Financial Crashes
We clarify the status of log-periodicity associated with speculative bubbles preceding financial crashes. In particular, we address Feigenbaum's [2001] criticism and show how it can be rebuked.…
