The financial market is a complex dynamical system composed of a large variety of intricate relationships between several entities, such as banks, corporations and institutions. At the heart of the system lies the stock exchange mechanism, which establishes a time-evolving network of...

In this paper we perform a statistical analysis over the returns and relative prices of the CAC $40$ and the S&P $500$ with the purpose of analysing the intra-day seasonalities of single and cross-sectional stock dynamics. In order to do that, we characterized the dynamics of a stock (or a set...

This paper studies the empirical tracking performance of leveraged ETFs on gold, and their price relationships with gold spot and futures. For tracking the gold spot, we find that our optimized portfolios with short-term gold futures are highly effective in replicating prices. The market-traded...

We give an explicit algorithm and source code for combining alpha streams via bounded regression. In practical applications typically there is insufficient history to compute a sample covariance matrix (SCM) for a large number of alphas. To compute alpha allocation weights, one then resorts to...

We pursue robust approach to pricing and hedging in mathematical finance. We consider a continuous time setting in which some underlying assets and options, with continuous paths, are available for dynamic trading and a further set of European options, possibly with varying maturities, is...

The extended Wild sums considered in this article generalize the classi- cal Wild sums of statistical physics. We first show how to obtain explicit solutions for the evolution equation of a large system where the interactions are given by a single, but general, interacting kernel which involves...

Mathematical models with time dependent parameters are of great interest in financial Mathematics because they capture real life scenarios in the financial market. In this study, via the Lie group technique, we analyse evolution-type equations with time dependent parameters and give the general...

We provide a set of copulas that can be interpreted as having the negative extreme dependence. This set of copulas is interesting because it coincides with countermonotonic copula for a bivariate case, and more importantly, is shown to be minimal in concordance ordering in the sense that no...

The short-time asymptotic behavior of option prices for a variety of models with jumps has received much attention in recent years. In the present work, novel third-order approximations for close-to-the-money European option prices under an infinite-variation CGMY L\'{e}vy model are derived, and...

Price limit trading rules are adopted in some stock markets (especially emerging markets) trying to cool off traders' short-term trading mania on individual stocks and increase market efficiency. Under such a microstructure, stocks may hit their up-limits and down-limits from time to time....
