This study aims to compare multiple deep learning-based forecasters for the task of predicting volatility using multivariate data. The paper evaluates a range of models, starting from simpler and shallower ones and progressing to deeper and more complex architectures. Additionally, the performance o
We establish deterministic necessary and sufficient conditions for the no-arbitrage notions NA (“no arbitrage”), NUPBR (“no unbounded profit with bounded risk”) and NFLVR (“no free lunch with vanishing risk”) in general diffusion market models with finite and infinite time horizons. These are single
Shortfall systemic (multivariate) risk measures $ρ$ defined through an $N$-dimensional multivariate utility function $U$ and random allocations can be represented as classical (one dimensional) shortfall risk measures associated to an explicitly determined $1$-dimensional function constructed from $
Deep Reinforcement Learning approaches to Online Portfolio Selection have grown in popularity in recent years. The sensitive nature of training Reinforcement Learning agents implies a need for extensive efforts in market representation, behavior objectives, and training processes, which have often b
We propose a neural network-based approach to calibrating stochastic volatility models, which combines the pioneering grid approach by Horvath et al. (2021) with the pointwise two-stage calibration of Bayer et al. (2018) and Liu et al. (2019). Our methodology inherits robustness from the former whil
This paper investigates the application of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) financial portfolio management, with a specific focus on the potential benefits of ESG score-based market regulation. We leveraged an Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C) agent and cond
We focus on the problem of market making in high-frequency trading. Market making is a critical function in financial markets that involves providing liquidity by buying and selling assets. However, the increasing complexity of financial markets and the high volume of data generated by tick-level tr
We consider a portfolio optimisation problem for a utility-maximising investor who faces convex constraints on his portfolio allocation in Heston’s stochastic volatility model. We apply the duality methods developed in previous work to obtain a closed-form expression for the optimal portfolio alloca
In this paper we demonstrate both theoretically as well as numerically that neural networks can detect model-free static arbitrage opportunities whenever the market admits some. Due to the use of neural networks, our method can be applied to financial markets with a high number of traded securities
This work is about optimal order execution, where a large order is split into several small orders to maximize the implementation shortfall. Based on the diversity of cryptocurrency exchanges, we attempt to extract cross-exchange signals by aligning data from multiple exchanges for the first time. U
The variance gamma model is a widely popular model for option pricing in both academia and industry. In this paper, we provide a new perspective for pricing European style options for the variance gamma model by deriving closed-form formulas combining the randomization method and fractional derivati
This paper presents a novel study on harnessing Large Language Models’ (LLMs) outstanding knowledge and reasoning abilities for explainable financial time series forecasting. The application of machine learning models to financial time series comes with several challenges, including the difficulty i
We consider a liquidity provider’s (LP’s) exposure to stablecoin and liquid staking derivative (LSD) depegs on Curve’s StableSwap pools. We construct a suite of metrics designed to detect potential asset depegs based on price and trading data. Using our metrics, we fine-tune a Bayesian Online Change
We propose a novel data-driven neural network (NN) optimization framework for solving an optimal stochastic control problem under stochastic constraints. Customized activation functions for the output layers of the NN are applied, which permits training via standard unconstrained optimization. The o
The problem of selecting an appropriate number of features in supervised learning problems is investigated in this paper. Starting with common methods in machine learning, we treat the feature selection task as a quadratic unconstrained optimization problem (QUBO), which can be tackled with classica
This paper will analyze and implement a time series dynamic neural network to predict daily closing stock prices. Neural networks possess unsurpassed abilities in identifying underlying patterns in chaotic, non-linear, and seemingly random data, thus providing a mechanism to predict stock price move
Grains account for more than 50% of the calories consumed by people worldwide, and military conflicts, pandemics, climate change, and soaring grain prices all have vital impacts on food security. However, the complex price behavior of the global grain spot markets has not been well understood. A rec
We propose a successive one-sided Hodrick-Prescott (SOHP) filter from multiple time scale decomposition perspective to derive trend estimate for a time series. The idea is to apply the one-sided HP (OHP) filter recursively on the updated cyclical component to extract the trend residual on multiple t
Stock trend forecasting is a fundamental task of quantitative investment where precise predictions of price trends are indispensable. As an online service, stock data continuously arrive over time. It is practical and efficient to incrementally update the forecast model with the latest data which ma
Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind have long been used to approximate experimental data in solving various technical problems. Within the framework of this study, the dynamics of shares of eight Czech enterprises was analyzed by the Chebyshev polynomial decomposition: CEZ A.S. (CEZP), Colt CZ G
