Computing capacity of a program

HiI am wondering if there is a standardized(something that is already being used in the industry) quantitative method to compute the capacity of a Managed futures trading program. Alternatively, if u could point me to a paper that'll be great as well.Thanks

MonteCarlo simulation of market prices

<t>Hi Alan,Thanks for ur post. I am using process which simulates returns with the proportional increments of constant drift, constant volatility stochastic processes. I am using the portsim function in matlab. However, like you rightly pointed out I haven't given you what kind of autocorrelation ch...

MonteCarlo simulation of market prices

<t>Hi GroupCan any one point me to some papers that discuss methods for MonteCarlo simulation of market prices ?For example if there are methods out there which will simulate the S&P prices and the new series will retain the auto-correlation characteristics of S&P.One step further if given a...

Hurst Exponent question

yes, i used the R/S method....no matter how i generate the random series.... i am not able to arrive at 0.5.....thats y i am looking for a way to generate a time series that gives me a HE=0.5

Hurst Exponent question

<t>Thank you for offering ur insights. Here is the scenario I ran.I estimated HE for a sample of 5000 random data points a 1000 times. The distribution of the estimated hurst Exponent works out to be between 0.54-0.56.... I am using the algorithm recommended by Ed Peters in his book Chaos and Order ...

Hurst Exponent question

<t>Hi AaronI had used to to verify some of my code. However, I am finding difficult to generate a time series of HE=0.5. Even the random numbers generated out of matlab seem to be around 0.56.Thats y i am looking forward to a methodology where I can generate a synthetic time series given a hurst exp...

Quartic spline

I am relatively new to creating a term structure model and would like to apply a cubic or quartic spline. I know there are several threads regarding this on this site however I was wondering if anybody had any experience applying Matlab to this problem. Thanks.

Hurst Exponent question

HiI was wondering if there was way to generate a synthetic timeseries given the Hurst Exponent.eg: Could I generate a timeseries for HE=0.5.Any pointers or papers in this regard would be of great help.Thanks
