The self-excitability and price clustering properties of the cryptocurrency market are studied to investigate the main sources of volatility, in particular, the reflexivity or the endogeneity issues. We apply our kernel estimation of the spectrum localized both in time and frequency to data sets of transaction times, revealing pertinent features in the data that had not been made visible by classical non-localized approaches based on models with constant fertility functions over time. We apply the empirical analysis to the three largest crypto assets, i.e. Bitcoin - Ethereum - Ripple, and provide a comparison with other financial assets such as SP500, Gold, and the volatility index VIX observed from January 2018 to December 2020. The results show high levels of endogeneity in the basket of cryptocurrencies under investigation, underlining the evidence of a significant role of endogenous feedback mechanisms in the price formation process. We also demonstrate that the level of the endogeneity of markets, quantified by the branching ratio of the Hawkes process, is overestimated if the time variation is not considered.

Reflexivity analysis of cryptocurrencies with a time-varying semi-parametric Hawkesprocess Atak Atalık, Alev (2021-06-26) The self-excitability and price clustering properties of the cryptocurrency market are studied to investigate the main sources of volatility, in particular, the reflexivity or the endogeneity issues. We apply our kernel estimation of the spectrum localized both in time and frequency to data sets of transaction times, revealing pertinent features in the data that had not been made visible by classical non-localized approaches based on models with constant fertility functions over time. We apply the empirical...
Heuristic based trading system on Forex data using technical indicator rules ÖZTÜRK, MURAT; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Fidan, Guven (2016-06-01) Technical indicators are widely used in Forex and other financial markets which are the building blocks of many trading systems. A trading system is based on technical indicators or pattern-based approaches which produces buy/sell signals to trade in the market. In this paper, a heuristic based trading system on Forex data, which is developed using popular technical indicators is presented. The system grounds on selecting and combining the trading rules based on indicators using heuristic methods. The selec...
Actuarial present value and variance for changing mortality and stochastic interest rates Yıldırım, Bükre; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Coşkun-Ergökmen, N. Gülden (2017-01-01) Stochastic modeling of interest rates is expected to lead a better risk management in long-term investments due to the rapid changes and random fluctuations in the economies. Considering the fact that deterministic interest rate approach does not yield realistic future values, a country-specific stochastic model is aimed to fit the interest rates based on the United States Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) at 10-year constant maturity by using time series techniques. Under the assumption that i...
Volatility indexes and an implementation of the Turkish BIST 30 index Karakurt, Caner; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) In 1993, by representing of CBOE Vix, global financial markets met volatility indexes. In 2003, methodology of the CBOE Vix is updated and it took the form which used today. Day after day, volatility indexes have attracted more and more investors and financial institutions, and soon volatility indexes have succeeded in becoming one of the most followed financial indicators. Following these developments, many countries have introduced their implied volatility indexes by using CBOE Vix methodology or its vari...
Algorithmic trading strategies using dynamic mode decomposition: applied to Turkish stock market Savaş, Mehmet Can; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017) Algorithmic trading schemes are growing of importance in modern ﬁnancial world. Each year, increasing proportion of the total trading volume is handled by algorithmic trading systems and they have become a fundamental element of modern day trading. We demonstrate the application of an algorithmic trading strategy using dynamic mode decomposition and genetic algorithm. The dynamic mode decomposition is a data analysis tool which is capable of characterizing the dynamical systems in an equation free manner by...
