Statistical properties of short term price trends in high frequency stock market data

Physics and Society 2009-11-13 v2 Statistical Finance

Abstract

We investigated distributions of short term price trends for high frequency stock market data. A number of trends as a function of their lengths was measured. We found that such a distribution does not fit to results following from an uncorrelated stochastic process. We proposed a simple model with a memory that gives a qualitative agreement with real data.
