Abstract
The behavior of financial asset price data when observed intraday is quite different from these same processes observed from day to day and longer sampling intervals. Volatility estimates obtained from intraday observed data can be badly distorted if anomalies and intraday trading patterns are not accounted for in the estimation process.
In this paper I consider conditional volatility estimators as special cases of a general stochastic volatility structure. The theoretical asymptotic distribution of the measurement error process for these estimators is considered for particular features observed in intraday financial asset price processes. Specifically, I consider the effects of (i) induced serial correlation in returns processes, (ii) excess kurtosis in the underlying unconditional distribution of returns, (iii) market anomalies such as market opening and closing effects, and (iv) failure to account for intraday trading patterns.
These issues are considered with applications in option pricing/trading strategies and the constant/dynamic hedging frameworks in mind. Empirical examples are provided from transactions data sampled into 5-, 15-, 30-, and 60-min intervals for heavily capitalized stock market, market index, and index futures price processes.
