LLMs for Time Series: an Application for Single Stocks and Statistical Arbitrage

Recently, LLMs (Large Language Models) have been adapted for time series prediction with significant success in pattern recognition. However, the common belief is that these models are not suitable for predicting financial market returns, which are known to be almost random. We aim to challenge this

Many-insurer robust games of reinsurance and investment under model uncertainty in incomplete markets

This paper studies the robust reinsurance and investment games for competitive insurers. Model uncertainty is characterized by a class of equivalent probability measures. Each insurer is concerned with relative performance under the worst-case scenario. Insurers’ surplus processes are approximated b

Replica del valor de un pool (CPM) y hedging de perdidas impermanentes

This article analytically characterizes the impermanent loss for automatic market makers in decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap or Balancer (CPMM). We present a theoretical static replication formula for the pool value using a combination of European calls and puts. We will formulate a result to

Robust mean-variance stochastic differential reinsurance and investment games under volatility risk and model uncertainty

This paper investigates robust stochastic differential games among insurers under model uncertainty and stochastic volatility. The surplus processes of ambiguity-averse insurers (AAIs) are characterized by drifted Brownian motion with both common and idiosyncratic insurance risks. To mitigate these

Efficient and Verified Continuous Double Auctions

Continuous double auctions are commonly used to match orders at currency, stock, and commodities exchanges. A verified implementation of continuous double auctions is a useful tool for market regulators as they give rise to automated checkers that are guaranteed to detect errors in the trade logs of

High-dimensional covariance matrix estimators on simulated portfolios with complex structures

We study the allocation of synthetic portfolios under hierarchical nested, one-factor, and diagonal structures of the population covariance matrix in a high-dimensional scenario. The noise reduction approaches for the sample realizations are based on random matrices, free probability, deterministic

NEAT Algorithm-based Stock Trading Strategy with Multiple Technical Indicators Resonance

In this study, we applied the NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies) algorithm to stock trading using multiple technical indicators. Our approach focused on maximizing earning, avoiding risk, and outperforming the Buy & Hold strategy. We used progressive training data and a multi-objective f

A Joint Energy and Differentially-Private Smart Meter Data Market

Given the vital role that smart meter data could play in handling uncertainty in energy markets, data markets have been proposed as a means to enable increased data access. However, most extant literature considers energy markets and data markets separately, which ignores the interdependence between

A theory of passive market impact

While the market impact of aggressive orders has been extensively studied, the impact of passive orders, those executed through limit orders, remains less understood. The goal of this paper is to investigate passive market impact by developing a microstructure model connecting liquidity dynamics and

How to Choose a Threshold for an Evaluation Metric for Large Language Models

To ensure and monitor large language models (LLMs) reliably, various evaluation metrics have been proposed in the literature. However, there is little research on prescribing a methodology to identify a robust threshold on these metrics even though there are many serious implications of an incorrect

Diffusion on the circle and a stochastic correlation model

We develop diffusion models for time-varying correlation using stochastic processes defined on the unit circle. Specifically, we study Brownian motion on the circle and the von Mises diffusion, and propose their use as continuous-time models for correlation dynamics. The von Mises process, introduce
