Abstract
We performed an extensive simulation study to compare the relative performance of many price-jump indicators with respect to false positive and false negative probabilities. We simulated twenty different time series specifications with different intraday noise volatility patterns and price-jump specifications. The double McNemar non-parametric test ( Psychometrika 12 (1947), 153–157) has been applied on constructed artificial time series to compare fourteen different price-jump indicators that are widely used in the literature. The results suggest large differences in terms of performance among the indicators, but we were able to identify the best-performing indicators. In the case of false positive probability, the best-performing price-jump indicator is based on thresholding with respect to centiles. In the case of false negative probability, the best indicator is based on bipower variation.
