Using one of the key property of copulas that they remain invariant under an arbitrary monotonous change of variable, we investigate the null hypothesis that the dependence between financial assets can be modeled by the Gaussian copula. We find that most pairs of currencies and pairs of major stocks are compatible with…

Machine learning struggles to predict binary options movements due to randomness.

problem Predicting binary options movements using machine learning.
method Tested multiple machine learning models (RF, LR, GB, kNN) and neural networks (MLP, LSTM) on EUR/USD currency pairs.
result None of the models surpassed the ZeroR baseline accuracy, indicating randomness in binary options.

We study the long memory of order flow for each of three liquid currency pairs on a large electronic trading platform in the foreign exchange (FX) spot market. Due to the extremely high levels of market activity on the platform, and in contrast to existing empirical studies of other markets, our data enables us to perf…
