Generating financial market scenarios utilizing a novel reservoir-computing approach
Existing models for generating financial market time series, such as historical simulation or Monte Carlo simulations based on stochastic differential equations, have been instrumental in financial forecasting, portfolio management, option pricing, risk management, etc. However, these traditional methods often rely on assumptions that may not fully capture the complexities and non-linearities of real market behavior and often assume that past patterns will repeat. With our new approach utilizing a novel reservoir-computing approach we developed a more flexible and data-driven way to simulate financial time series.
