Abstract
We report on a technique based on multi-agent games which
has potential use in the prediction of future movements of financial
time-series. A third-party game is trained on a black-box time-series, and
is then run into the future to extract next-step and multi-step predictions.
In addition to the possibility of identifying profit opportunities, the
technique may prove useful in the development of improved risk management
strategies.
