Rectangular Moving Average

 Since the horizon is already fixed by the data (and the holding period) at 1 day, the only remaining parameter one can associate with this method is the size of the memory. Once again - because of the commonly used 250 day memory (consistent with the BIS recommendation) we do not undertake any optimization and use the model with this pre-defined value. As in the case of the historical simulation model - the 1000 univariate and multivariate prediction realization pairs are constructed using the last 1251 data points in the 10 log differenced price change series k.
