The study tests whether realised moments of stock returns (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) computed from daily returns over the last month, quarter and year can predict the 1-month cross-sectional stock returns of 40 US-traded liquid stocks in the period 1986-2019. The performed...

We propose how deep neural networks can be used to calibrate the parameters of Stochastic-Volatility Jump-Diffusion (SVJD) models to historical asset return time series. 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks (1D-CNN) are used for that purpose. The accuracy of the deep learning approach is...

Particle Filter algorithms for filtering latent states (volatility and jumps) of Stochastic-Volatility Jump-Diffusion (SVJD) models are being explained. Three versions of the SIR particle filter with adapted proposal distributions to the jump occurrences, jump sizes, and both are derived and...

Echo State Neural Networks (ESN) were applied to forecast the realized variance time series of 19 major stock market indices. Symmetric ESN and asymmetric AESN models were constructed and compared with the benchmark realized variance models HAR and AHAR that approximate the long memory of the...

Non-parametric approach to financial time series jump estimation, using the L-Estimator, is compared with the parametric approach utilizing a Stochastic-Volatility-Jump-Diffusion (SVJD) model, estimated with MCMC and extended with Particle Filters to estimate the out-sample evolution of its...

The profitability of a trading system based on the momentum-like effects of price jumps was tested on the time series of 7 assets (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF and USD/JPY exchange rates and Light Crude Oil, E-Mini S&P 500 and VIX Futures), in each case for 7 different frequencies (ranging from...
