Igor Kliakhandler - Finance

The prime subject of my current research interests is  finance in a very broad sense.
The modern finance is a very interesting and thrilling area of contemporary mathematics.
I guide graduate students, trade commodity futures, collect financial data,
create charting infrastructure and co-develop real-time software for direct trading
of Globex futures.

Currently, two of my three  graduate students are working in financial math area.
As for now, we try to do a few things.
First, we try to understand the intraday dynamics of currency
and indices trading, and build a prototype of trading robot. The ultimate goal is
to build a real-time trading application in Globex futures. Independent development
of software is underway.
Second, we try to apply game theory to understand the interaction of commercials and
non-commercials in commodities.
Also, I am personally involved in commodity futures trading, and I created
a proprietary software for very convenient graphic representation of all available
trading information for all commodities.

Additional projects are also moving: study of short-selling in equities,
institutional holdings (13F forms), commodity options, tick data,
and, on horizon, study of convertible bonds.
A fully independent, regularly updated and large database of financial
information and downloading software is built and supported.

Statistical modeling in a very broad sense, simulations and numerical computations are
indispensable parts of my work in finance.
