Key Research Findings

Critical Discovery: Universal Fractal Dimension Threshold

• Threshold of 1.25 identified as universal indicator for market corrections across all asset classes
• Validated across markets, geographies, and time periods
• Provides 2-5 trading days advance warning for regime shifts

Performance Metrics

• 70-78% regime detection accuracy with sub-second processing
• 92× GPU speedup over CPU calculations (NVIDIA RTX 3080 vs Intel i7-10700K)
• 50-85% memory reduction compared to traditional volatility methods
• 15-20% outperformance of hedge strategies using the 1.25 threshold

Technical Implementation Results

• Real-time processing: 50-200ms for optimized CPU, 5-20ms with GPU acceleration
• Memory requirements: 16-32 GB RAM for real-time calculations
• Data retention: 2-3 orders of magnitude less data than Hurst exponent calculation
• Streaming architecture: Apache Kafka handling 100,000+ transactions per second

Regime Classification Thresholds

• Trending markets: Fractal dimension 1.0-1.3, Hurst exponent 0.6-0.8
• Random walk regimes: Fractal dimension ≈1.5, Hurst exponent ≈0.5
• Range-bound markets: Fractal dimension 1.7-2.0, Hurst exponent < 0.5
• Volatile/crisis regimes: Fractal dimension > 1.8 with elevated cross-correlations

Trading Application Recommendations

• Entry thresholds: FD < 1.3 for trend following, FD > 1.7 for mean reversion
• Risk management: Reduce position size when FD > 1.6, increase when FD < 1.4
• Stop-loss optimization: Tighter stops when FD < 1.3, wider stops when FD > 1.7
• Portfolio construction: Weight components by inverse fractal dimension

Integration with SILOQY System

The research provides specific guidance for integrating Hausdorff dimension analysis with the existing SILOQY components:

JERICHO State Machine Integration
