Large models have shown unprecedented capabilities in natural language processing, image generation, and most recently, time series forecasting. This leads us to ask the question: treating market prices as a time series, can large models be used to predict the market? In this paper, we answer this by evaluating the performance of the latest time series foundation model TimesFM on price prediction. We find that due to the irregular nature of price data, directly applying TimesFM gives unsatisfactory results and propose to fine-tune TimeFM on financial data for the task of price prediction. This is done by continual pre-training of the latest time series foundation model TimesFM on price data containing 100 million time points, spanning a range of financial instruments spanning hourly and daily granularities. The fine-tuned model demonstrates higher price prediction accuracy than the baseline model. We conduct mock trading for our model in various financial markets and show that it outperforms various benchmarks in terms of returns, sharpe ratio, max drawdown and trading cost.

When Directional Accuracy Lies: A Base-Rate-Honest Benchmark for LoRA-Adapted TimesFM on Equity Forecasting
LoRA-fine-tuned TimesFM has no directional skill over the always-up base rate on NASDAQ-100 and S&P 500; its only benefit is slightly lower point-forecast error.

Benchmarking Pre-Trained Time Series Models for Electricity Price Forecasting
No time series foundation model statistically outperforms the biseasonal MSTL model in most European day-ahead electricity price markets in 2024, though Chronos-Bolt and Time-MoE match traditional methods.
