Download or read book Chrilly s Toolbox of Energy Futures Trading written by Chrilly Donninger and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a previous working paper I analyzed the performance of several rolling strategies for the 5 most important Energy Futures in the last 10 years. It was assumed that one is always long the Futures. The task was to minimize the harm of rolling. Due to the weak performance of this sector there was in absolute terms (almost) nothing to gain. This working paper analyzes several strategies which try to exploit all aspects - rolling, the term structure, mean reversion, seasonal-patterns and trends - of the Energy Futures market. Anything goes as long as it is profitable. Some of the strategies perform considerable better then the long-only portfolios. But the times they are A Changin' in the Energy-Futures market. It is difficult to find a consistent strategy which handles the different market-regimes successfully. Some of the winners proposed in the literature performed fine once upon a time. But they are the losers now.

Download or read book Multifractal Volatility written by Laurent E. Calvet and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2008-10-13 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calvet and Fisher present a powerful, new technique for volatility forecasting that draws on insights from the use of multifractals in the natural sciences and mathematics and provides a unified treatment of the use of multifractal techniques in finance. A large existing literature (e.g., Engle, 1982; Rossi, 1995) models volatility as an average of past shocks, possibly with a noise component. This approach often has difficulty capturing sharp discontinuities and large changes in financial volatility. Their research has shown the advantages of modelling volatility as subject to abrupt regime changes of heterogeneous durations. Using the intuition that some economic phenomena are long-lasting while others are more transient, they permit regimes to have varying degrees of persistence. By drawing on insights from the use of multifractals in the natural sciences and mathematics, they show how to construct high-dimensional regime-switching models that are easy to estimate, and substantially outperform some of the best traditional forecasting models such as GARCH. The goal of Multifractal Volatility is to popularize the approach by presenting these exciting new developments to a wider audience. They emphasize both theoretical and empirical applications, beginning with a style that is easily accessible and intuitive in early chapters, and extending to the most rigorous continuous-time and equilibrium pricing formulations in final chapters. - Presents a powerful new technique for forecasting volatility - Leads the reader intuitively from existing volatility techniques to the frontier of research in this field by top scholars at major universities - The first comprehensive book on multifractal techniques in finance, a cutting-edge field of research
