After the latest drops I ran MC simulations on gold (GC=F) and silver (SI=F) futures after latest drops. Each hit what appears like statistical extremes over 90 days: Gold: Presently at -4.seventh percentile (began $5318, now $4745) Silver: Presently at -2.2th percentile (began $114, now $78) However I'm second-guessing whether or not the identical framework applies to commodities futures: Fairness logic: High quality shares mean-revert as a result of earnings/fundamentals anchor worth. A -7% drop on strong fundamentals = alternative. Particular issues: Volatility clustering – Each displaying 17-38% annualized vol. Is historic vol even related for commodities or does regime change sooner? No "fundamentals" to test – With shares I confirm earnings/steerage. With gold/silver… test what? Greenback energy? Actual charges? That's macro, not elementary. Nonetheless new to futures and questioning if I can nonetheless apply the identical toolset I’ve been utilizing on equities. The query: Or am I overthinking this and statistical extremes + imply reversion work the identical no matter asset class in trending markets? Anybody run comparable evaluation on futures? Does it translate or am I making an attempt to suit the flawed instrument to the asset? submitted by /u/futurefinancebro69 |
