comment Reasoning behind multiple names for the equivalent risk measures AVaR/ETL/ES/CVaR
Possibly the biggest road block to learning statistics are the varied and nonsensical naming. “[...]bad names reflect (or even result in) difficulties in understanding.” Hurst, Joseph, colours and noises: The importance of names in an important natural behaviour, Demetris Koutsoyiannis itia.ntua.gr/getfile/792/1/documents/…

“without a change of model”, I agree, and a simple example would be to change your scale to a 10 day bar + a probability weight. “P.

By contrast, the autocorrelation function of absolute returns remains positive over lags of several weeks and decays slowly to zero. proba.jussieu.fr/pageperso/ramacont/papers/FE05.pdf, Long memory in return structures from developed markets, 2012, Sharad Nath Bhattacharya, MouSuMi Bhattacharya. ehu.es/cuadernosdegestion/documentos/110312sb.pdf

comment How to perform Empirical Mode Decomposition?
There is inherent massive lag in the calculation of the Hurst exponent (H), maybe this is your problem? How are you using EMD in your strategy, what method of EMD are you using, do you plan to use EMD in real time? FYI: I'm in the process of reinventing IMF part of the EMD method, specifically for capitalized markets for real time use.

comment Fastest algorithm for calculating retrospective maximum drawdown
Your question is not clear to me. Do you mean the easiest technique to code, or code that is CPU efficient?

comment Monty Hall Model
3 days vs. 3 choices of the market direction plus market moving news, I don't think this is the same problem as what the Monty Hall problem is about. Monty hall only had 2 rewards a goat and a car, and 3 doors to choose from. I think you need to re-model the concept of what is a door, and what the 2 rewards are behind the 3 doors. I think you need to eliminate the flat position, and you only need to work with one day (Tuesday), leaving you with 2 rewards (goat/car, long/short).

comment Monty Hall Model
Your assuming that manager A is an agent of Monty Hall (all knowing), and has exposed a goat behind door number 1, which is a long position. The flat position is not a viable option as you stated there is a breakout due on Tuesday, so you can eliminate it (but do you reassign the probability weight, and if so to what?). So you assume that long positions are goats, and you take the short position.

comment Proxy for a trigonometric angle function
@chrisaycock I need a function that will capture the estimation of the Hurst exponent without using the linear regression slope calculation.

tks, and I was thinking that this might be the wrong forum for this Q. I don't see that I have control over deleting my post.

comment Proxy for a trigonometric angle function
@chrisaycock Time based financial calculation that requires a slope calculation are suspect. I'm looking for a stable/robust representation for the slope component of the slope-intercept form. Angle calculations using market data are nefarious to work with, as market compression rescales nonlinear. I'm working with the Hurst exponent, it utilizes the slope-intercept form to characterize the market.
