rugarch is a package that allows you to do Univariate GARCH.
What package should I be using if I want to estimated a multi-factor univariate GARCH model. For example: sp_ret = alpha_0 + alpha1*(market_index_ret) +alpha2*(exchange_rate_return) + error sigma^2 = gamma_0 + gamm1*(error^2_{t-1}) + gamma2*(sigma^2_{t-1}) Thanks. -- Abhishek [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ [hidden email] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-finance -- Subscriber-posting only.

Dear,
1 - Quotes from futures combo I need quotes from futures combo but I cant find how to find these quotes. I can place combo orders but I can't find how to get the quotes. For instance, I would like to have the quotes of the combo between ECO AUG12 (83617918) and ECO NOV12 (87689647). Do you have any idea ? Which part of the IB API documentation should I check ? That's quite important for me ! 2 - reqIds If I understand well reqIds, it doesnt give the next iDs from Interactive Broker but the last iDs + 1 of the R session or TWS. Sometimes it doesn't work for me because when I relaunch R or TWS it forgets the real last iDs. When the iDs count is relaunch ? How can I relaunch it ? Thanks a lot, Olivier MERLE Une messagerie gratuite, garantie à vie et des services en plus, ça vous tente ?

You can do this with rugarch (and possibly fGarch) by passing the
external regressors (factors) in the conditional mean equation. The documentation and vignette should provide enough information to enable you to figure out how to do this. You can also adopt a 2-stage approach in which case any GARCH package can do this (by passing the residuals from a first stage regression). -Alexios On 19/07/2012 12:57, Abhishek Gupta wrote: > rugarch is a package that allows you to do Univariate GARCH. > What package should I be using if I want to estimated a multi-factor > univariate GARCH model. > > For example: > sp_ret = alpha_0 + alpha1*(market_index_ret) +alpha2*(exchange_rate_return) > + error > sigma^2 = gamma_0 + gamm1*(error^2_{t-1}) + gamma2*(sigma^2_{t-1}) > > Thanks. > _______________________________________________ [hidden email] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-finance -- Subscriber-posting only.

I don't have a complete answer, but I don't think you directly request
a quote for a twsBAG. You could get a quote for each leg and calculate it yourself. Below is an example. I hope you don't mind if I use the get_quote function from my twsInstrument package (https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1113). I don't know how IB calculates the BidSize and AskSize of a combo, but you can look at how I calculated it and see if it makes sense. [I don't trade subscribe to market data for MATIF, so below I'll make a combo between SPY and DIA. Note that the ratio I chose is by no means a recommendation -- I just picked a number that would make the spread close to dollar neutral] require("twsInstrument") bag <- twsBAG( twsComboLeg( conId = "756733", #conId("SPY"), ratio = "1", action = "BUY", exchange = "SMART" ) , twsComboLeg( conId = "73128548", #conId("DIA"), ratio = "1.06", action = "SELL", exchange = "SMART" ) ) ## Get a quote for both legs (tmp <- get_quote(c(bag$comboleg[[1]]$conId, bag$comboleg[[2]]$conId))) # BidSize BidPrice AskPrice AskSize Last LastSize Volume #SPY 108 137.45 137.46 138 137.45 3 385111 #DIA 25 129.10 129.11 23 129.09 1 10656 data.frame(BidSize=min(c(as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[1]]$ratio) * tmp$BidSize[1], as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[2]]$ratio) * tmp$AskSize[2])), BidPrice=as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[1]]$ratio) * tmp$BidPrice[1] - as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[2]]$ratio) * tmp$AskPrice[2], AskPrice=as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[1]]$ratio) * tmp$AskPrice[1] - as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[2]]$ratio) * tmp$BidPrice[2], AskSize=min(c(as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[1]]$ratio) * tmp$AskSize[1], as.numeric(bag$comboleg[[2]]$ratio) * tmp$BidSize[2])), row.names=paste(rownames(tmp), collapse=".")) # BidSize BidPrice AskPrice AskSize #SPY.DIA 24.38 0.5934 0.614 26.5 HTH, Garrett On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 8:18 AM, omerle <[hidden email]> wrote: > Dear, > > 1 - Quotes from futures combo > > I need quotes from futures combo but I cant find how to find these quotes. > I can place combo orders but I can't find how to get the quotes.

In Java, if you create a proper BAG Contract you can use it with reqMktData() or
reqHistoricalData(). I imagine the same holds true in R as well. (I can send Java examples if interested.) Try using IBrokers twsBAG() function to create a combo contract, and use the returned object as the contract to IBrokers's equivalent of reqMktData() and data should start streaming. -- Stergios Marinopoulos ________________________________ From: G See <[hidden email]> To: omerle <[hidden email]> Cc: [hidden email] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 10:37 AM Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Finance] IBrokers : quotes from futures combo and reqIds I don't have a complete answer, but I don't think you directly request a quote for a twsBAG.

I took Garrett's example and tried to get it working using IBrokers. It's starts writing data to a file as expected, but then the error below is produced and quote data is no longer written to the file.

Hi Stergios
I believe it is your ratios. They have to be integers. your second one is ratio = "1.06" You will have to calculate the most feasible rational approximation to your beta of -1.06/1 One solution would be -21/20 ~ -1.05 So you could set leg1: ratio = "21" leg2: ratio = "20" That should do it.

:-( I'm afraid it doesn't even work with "1" and "1"

I think see the problem. Looking at the TWS error log, I can see that IBrokers reqMkData() is requesting the following generic tick types by default: "100,101,104,106,165,221,225,236", (and this is documented in IBroker's reqMktData() DOH!!!) where
100: Option Volume 101: Option Open Interest 104: Historical Volatility 106: Option Implied Volatility 165: Miscellaneous Stats 221: Mark Price225: Auction values236: Shortable Those tick types do not make sense for this BAG contract. The only thing that makes sense for this BAG contract is the spreads between bid, ask, or last. So when you call reqMktData() set tickGenerics="". But when I try it, however, nothing seems to be happen. I believe the eventWrapper argument or the CALLBACK argument to reqMktData() needs to be used in order to receive the (Java equivalent) tickPrice() events. Maybe someone with experience with those arguments can chime in. -- Stergios Marinopoulos ----- Original Message ----- From: Stergios Marinopoulos <[hidden email]> To: G See <[hidden email]> Cc: "[hidden email]" <[hidden email]> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 11:28 AM Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Finance] IBrokers : quotes from futures combo and reqIds I took Garrett's example and tried to get it working using IBrokers.

Version mismatches from IB/etc may be the cause here, though I am out
of the office this week so am not able to try to debug. Make sure you are running the latest of all (including the googlecode version of IBrokers - which you must build from source at this point). If not, it will be a little difficult to narrow down where the problem is. Thanks, Jeff On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 12:21 PM, Stergios Marinopoulos <[hidden email]> wrote: > I think see the problem.

Further investigation leads me to think this is just not supported as
of yet. I'll have to see how the API handles this for market data, and add it into IBrokers. At present, the contract is simply getting sent as a BAG, with no further effort to pass along the comboLegs themselves. I don't know technically where it is failing yet, but at this point I can see it simply can't succeed as is. I will fix.

In reply to this post by omerle
Thanks a lof for your kind answers ! I am again amazed by the R community.
I might have under explain my problem. 1 - My original question : "I need quotes from futures combo but I cant find how to find these quotes. I can place combo orders but I can't find how to get the quotes. For instance, I would like to have the quotes of the combo between ECO AUG12 (83617918) and ECO NOV12 (87689647). Do you have any idea ? Which part of the IB API documentation should I check ? That's quite important for me !" 2 - Additional elements : => In most futures market, combo orders/quotes are another market not only the combinaison of the two markets underlyings. For instance : ECO AUG12 (83617918) Bid - Ask 100 - 102 ECO NOV12 (87689647) Bid - Ask 104 - 105 The implied combo Bid-Ask market would be : Bid - Ask 2 - 5 The combo market could be anything inside this implied B/A (because people place order inside the combo market). For instance, I could have : Bid - Ask 2.5 - 3 3 - What I can currently do : Using twsContract and the parameter comboleg to send a combo order inside the combo market. I think that if IB implemented orders in the combo market the API could also do the work to retrieve the data. 4 - What I would like to do : Get the quotes of the combo market. 5 - What I tried : I tried to put my twsContract (which was used in placeOrder) in reqMktData but I didn't get any data. PS : To [hidden email] When you said it works in Java you mean for quotes from the combo market ? or just implied quotes ?

> PS : To [hidden email] > > When you said it works in Java you mean for quotes from the combo market ? or just > implied quotes ? reqMktData() when given a BAG contract returns the spreads on the bid and the ask. It also returns some size information, which I assume is the spread on the sizes when the spread on the bid/ask changes, although I am not sure about this aspect. Attached is a short working example in Java based on the "ExampleBase" series of examples included in the IB API source code. Just replace the hard-coded IP address to one wihch works for you. This example creates an ES calendar spread, and then calls reqMktData() on the BAG contract; the rest of the program simply prints the bid/ask spread to stdout. sm -- Stergios Marinopoulos Thanks, Olivier > I've added in support for sending a BAG contract, though I haven't > figured out the proper params to verify all the messages are being > sent correctly; i.e. still failing, just now for less obvious causes > ;-) > > At rev 156 on googlecode > > HTH > Jeff > > On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Jeffrey Ryan wrote: >> Further investigation leads me to think this is just not supported as >> of yet.

test/adjust the code in IBrokers so it will do the same.
