This article introduces a high-frequency trade execution model to evaluate the economic impact of supervised machine learners. Extending the concept of a confusion matrix, we present a “trade information matrix” to attribute the expected profit and loss of the high-frequency strategy under execution constraints, such as fill probabilities and position dependent trade rules, to correct and incorrect predictions. We apply the trade execution model and trade information matrix to Level II E-mini S&P 500 futures history and demonstrate an estimation approach for measuring the sensitivity of the P&L to the error of a recurrent neural network. Our approach directly evaluates the performance sensitivity of a market-making strategy to prediction error and augments traditional market simulation-based testing.

A novel approach to the analysis of S & P 500 market fluctuations is proposed using a K-component mixture of regressions model. The Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard stochastic model is employed where the estimates of jumps of log-returns are governed by Lévy subordinators. Daily VIX and VIX2 close prices are analyzed as the indicators of log-return volatility and the corresponding variance of the S & P 500 index using the mixture model. The behavior of the S & P 500 market from 1 August 2005 to 31 December 2009 is analyzed and forecasted. A set of rules are provided to predict monthly fluctuation in the S & P 500 market. The procedure used in this paper gives a novel approach for constructing an “indicator”of non-Gaussian jump of an empirical data set in finance using mixture of regression (Gaussian) analysis.

We provide empirical evidence of directionality in high-frequency multivariate time series of the five largest U.S. banks between 1999 and 2017. The directionality is more apparent during crisis periods than during noncrisis periods, and it has only a low association with volatility. We use directionality and volatility as a regime-switching criterion between two-regime threshold vector autoregressive (TVAR) models for forecasting share prices. We compare the forecasting performances using mean relative error squared, and a weighted average of the forecasting error, with weights based on the estimated conditional variance, for individual model components and as a group. We have demonstrated that moving directionality can provide early warning of increased volatility and crisis periods, and has potential for improving one-step ahead forecasts using TVAR(1) models.
