Abstract

The most important parameter in risk evaluation by intraday value at risk (IVaR) simulation is the irregular spaced high frequency data. There are several methods for model high frequency data and in this paper we propose a method to compute IVaR using real time high frequency transaction data for 10 stock of Tehran Stock Exchange. Transactions durations are modeled by asymmetric autoregressive conditional duration (AACD) and autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) mehhods and IVaR has been calculated by Mont Carlo simulation. Research results show that IVaR calculated using AACD method outperforms. And also results of IVaR calculation shows a daily pattern in IVaR variation.
