Mohammadreza Akhlaghi

Financial Machine Learning & Econometrics Researcher

I work at the intersection of financial econometrics, high-frequency financial time series, and machine learning, with a focus on robust and leakage-free empirical modeling.

My current research explores how deep sequence architectures can model noisy, non-stationary financial time series and how model performance changes across different volatility and market regimes.

Research Interests

  • Financial Machine Learning
  • Financial Econometrics
  • High-Frequency Financial Time Series
  • Deep Sequence Modeling
  • Volatility and Regime Modeling
  • Risk-Aware Forecasting
  • Leakage-Free / Causal Evaluation
  • Machine Learning for Financial Markets

Current Research

High-Frequency Financial Forecasting

I study 5-minute XAUUSD financial time series using chronological and walk-forward evaluation frameworks.

Current work includes the empirical comparison of:

  • TimesNet
  • PatchTST
  • LSTM / GRU
  • TCN
  • XGBoost
  • Random Forest

The research focuses on temporal dependencies, volatility regimes, risk-aware labeling, and realistic out-of-sample evaluation.
