Fractals Etc

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Not sure which forum to post this. Can anyone resource me regarding, fractal and fractional brownian motion. I want to understand the components in estimating the hurst exponent, what long term memory means intuitively, how to generate series of fractal and fractional brownian random numbers to use in monte carlo simulations.

 

Web links, books, authors, papers, insights, etc all welcome...

 

Many thx

imo unless You understand "Intrinsic Time" and how different reality is from the illusions created by clock time ...... FAR REMOVED

 

Any such research will not get very FAR

 

 

The viewpoint of fractal theory

 

The fractal approach to analyzing objects of different kinds, including time series, can be

formulated as follows:

Objects are analyzed on different scales, with different degrees of resolution, and

the results are compared and interrelated.

 

In the introduction to the concept of fractals in (Mandelbrot, 1983), an example is presented that

was first analyzed by Richardson. The length of the coastline of Great Britain is measuredwith

yardsticks of different sizes

 

. The length of the coastline is a function of the size of the yardstick:

the smaller this size, the longer the total lengthmeasured because smaller yardsticks can follow

more details of the coastline. The total length as a function of the size of the yardstick follows

a power law.

 

If this principle is adopted to time series analysis, itmeans using different “time yardsticks”,

 

The conventional time series analysis, focusing exclusively on a time series of regularly

spaced observations, is far removed from both the fractal viewpoint and the real nature of

the raw data: a regularly spaced economic time series is not original data but a preprocessed

artifact. R B Olsen

In terms of Traditional Technical Approaches

 

An Intrinsic "Fractal" Methodology would be one of the oldest

 

POINT and FIGURE charting...

 

Which can use high frequency data

And log BOXES

 

That making it a type of ( and not necessarily inferior) LOG/LOG chart revealing POWER LAWS.

I didn't answer when you first posted mainly because I didn't have much to offer that could not be found with google. There have been a couple of discussions here though they often tend to descend into the 'are markets fractal' debate.

Thx... my hunch is twofold 1)that if a timeseries is fractal with hurst exponent > 0.5 then a random entry system should work, 2) that a market where a random entry system works (i.e. has trends) then the hurst exponent >0.5. I want to prove that to myself using some montecarlo generated price series.

 

Basically I wanted to proved to myself that a fractal market isn't necessarily random.

 

Also I want a hurst exponent estimator so I can see if there are trends in a set of data and see how effective that is at identifying good places to trade.

 

I've done some googling already but you know what a chase down rabbit holes that can be.

 

Has anyone done any analysis on random entry systems?

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
