  1. IWIF-II Model of Financial Market :Insights and its Possible Application C. H. Yeung1, K. Y. Michael Wong1. Y. C.

  2. Outline • Introduction Our model (Wealth Game) VS Minority Game ? • Price Sensitivity and Market Impact – Phase Diagram of final states and wealth • Market Makers, Transaction Cost and Evolutions – Positive gain for agents and market makers • Application on real data: Trading with Hang Seng Index • Conclusion www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  3. Introduction • Minority Game (MG) – The model by D. Challet and Y. C. Zhang in 1997 • Successful and simple model of Financial Market which states that the minority choices will win • One of the main concern for investors: negative-sum (MG) VS positive-sum (Real market) ? www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  4. To include more realistic aspects … • What modifications are we making? • What important aspects of real markets should be added to capture basic features? • Negative sum? Positive sum? Zero sum? • Can we apply these financial models on real financial data ? www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  5. 1. What modificationsare we making? www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  6. Individual actions Price changes Collective actions The Model • N agents • Each agent makes decision from his/her best strategy (higher virtual payoff) www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  7. The Strategy • +1/ -1/ 0, buy/ sell/ hold decisions (different from MG) • Max. Allowed PositionK www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  8. Remark : For MG, Wealth = Cash + Stock Values in hand No. of stock in hand, Position www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  9. 2. Whatimportant aspects of real markets should be added to capture basic features? (1) Price sensitivity & (2) Market impact www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  10. Price rises!! Collective Actions What are price sensitivity and market impact? • Price Sensitivity • Sensitivity of stock price on agent’s collective actions • Define γ : Individual Actions Price movement = (Collective actions)γ www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  11. Market Impact !! Synchronized Actions !! • Market Impact • The impact of synchronized decisions from peer investors during transaction • Define β Transaction price = Current price +β(Synchronized price movement) www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  12. (1) Price sensitivity γ Price movement = (Collective actions)γ (2) Market Impact β Transaction price = Current price +β(Synchronized price movement) These 2 aspects we would like to put in the model !! www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  13. Collective actions !! Price Sensitivity!! Market Impact !! • Decision of agent ai(t) = +1, 0, -1 • Real Price: • Transaction Price PT(t) = Price in between P(t+1) and P(t) www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  14. Negative Positive Results Final State of the system Agents’ Wealth www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF 3 phases have positive wealth ???

  15. Irregular phase ?? Trendsetter phase ?? Phase Diagram of Final State Mixture phase ?? Arbitrageurs phase ?? www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  16. sell! Buy! For β≤ 0.5⇒ Period-2 cycle for P(t) !? Arbitrageurs phase Gain!! Too unrealistic!! www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  17. Trendsetter state What are they doing? • Periodic with characteristic pattern • Period much longer than period 2 !! VS Arbitrageur state www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  18. Trend setters (winners) Trend followers (winners) Late followers (losers) Start to sell !! (Set up the downward trend) Follow the trend !! I was late... Trendsetter state Depend on strategies, eg: ↑↑↓ buy/sell/hold ↑↓↓ buy/sell/hold …. We didn’t teach them to set up and follow trend !! But they do it !!! www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  19. Too periodic! Period 2 Unrealistic! or Unrealistic! www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  20. Negative Positive What’s the interpretations?The real market is possibly…… Agent’s wealth www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF Possible parameters of real market !!

  21. 3.Negative sum? Positive sum? Zero sum? www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  22. Positive-sum?Where does the money come from? • Note: Supply and Demand is not balanced in this model • There is a Market Maker behind the game • Market Maker is clearing the extra supply and demand (doing opposite as the actual agents do) • So, agents gain, Market Maker loses • All together ~> zero sum www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF Market Maker ?

  23. No Market Maker, supply and demand have to be balanced ~> when one agent is holding a buying position, someone else must be holding a selling position ~> zero-sum for agents • Can both Agents and Market Maker gain? • Transaction cost + evolution of agents (agents losing money are leaving the market) www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  24. Transaction Cost (% of P(t))+ Evolution Positive gain for Investors and Market maker !! ~> Participation incentives www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  25. 4. Can we apply these financial models onreal financial data ? www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  26. Application on real data:Hang Seng Index (HSI) • To convince ourselves that the model share similarities with real market, we test the applicability of the model on HSI • Real HSI as external signals, stock price in the model • Agents are given a certain amount of initial wealth, for initial investment • Wealth dependence maximum position K(t) = Wealth(t) / Price(t) www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  27. Results (HSI from 1987 – 2007) Best 3 among 10000 Agents x 17 times HSI x 7.5 times 5 random agents www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  28. Initially, w(1987)/P(1987) = 5 Wealth grows slower than inflation Wealth grows faster than inflation www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  29. Comparison with other models- % of gaining agents ≈ 11% of agents in this model Beat HSI inflation in this 20 years www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  30. Wealth Game Minority Game • Wealth Game has the largest % of gaining agents • But for the best investor……. x 25 times x 17 times x 7.5 times x 7.5 times Minority Game has more outstanding best investor ! www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  31. Difference in wealth counting….. Wealth Game Minority Game VS with Trend following? • Positive sign VS negative sign • Position dependence VS Single bid • dependence • 3.Small time lag Longer memory www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  32. Wealth Game Vs Minority Game Another similar test : Wealth independent Max Pos. with w(0) = 0 Best investors are not as rich as MG, but most are gaining Best investors are more outstanding Most agents are losing www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF

  33. Conclusion • Behaviors resembling real investors emerge naturally form this simple model • Possible values of γ and β (price sensitivity and market impact) in real market can be conjectured form the phase diagrams (irregular phase with positive wealth) • Wide participation incentives: positive sum for both existing agents and market maker • The model is tested by using real HSI Wealth Game: better average performance Minority game: more outstanding best agents www.swingtum.com/institute/IWIF
