Advances in Quantitative Asset Management contains selected articles which, for the most part, were presented at the `Forecasting Financial Markets' Conference. `Forecasting Financial Markets' is an international conference on quantitative finance which is held in London in May every year. Since...

As technology advancement has increased, so to have computational applications for forecasting, modelling and trading financial markets and information, and practitioners are finding ever more complex solutions to financial challenges. Neural networking is a highly effective, trainable...

A clear motivation for this paper is the investigation of a correlation filter to improve the return/risk performance of spread trading models. A further motivation for this paper is the extension of trading futures spreads beyond the 'Fair Value' type of model used by Butterworth and Holmes...

The motivation for this paper is to determine the potential economic value of advanced modelling methods for devising trading decision tools for 10-year Government bonds. Two advanced methods are used: time-varying parameter models with the implementation of state space modelling using a Kalman...

In this article, a mixed methodology that combines both the Autoregressive Moving Average Model (ARMA) and Neural Network Regression (NNR) models is proposed to take advantage of the unique strength of ARMA and NNR models in linear and nonlinear modelling. Experimental results with real data...

In the current paper, we present an integrated genetic programming (GP) environment called java GP modelling. The java GP modelling environment is an implementation of the steady-state GP algorithm. This algorithm evolves tree-based structures that represent models of inputs and outputs. The...

The motivation for this article is the investigation of the use of a promising class of neural network (NN) models, higher order neural networks (HONNs), when applied to the task of forecasting and trading the 21-day-ahead realised volatility of the FTSE 100 futures index. This is done by...
