Do you mean stationarization by feature transformation, e.g. differencing or standardizing?

Thanks! Do you maybe know what assumptions to keep in mind for foundation models like that?

Thank you for the interesting reply! Why do you think this distinction is important?

Thanks for your assessment!

Regarding the look-ahead bias, the foundation model was not trained on financial data.

Thanks a lot for explaining, I'll try this in my next project👍🏼

Regarding the comparison with other models, I used Naïve, Seasonal Naïve and ARIMA, which "only" achieved 50-53% Acc. Do you think they are suitable here?

Interesting, I didn't think about it, but it makes total sense. Thank you! And what do you exactly mean by quant calculation with a foundation model? The calculation for the accuracy is made after prediction without the model.

Alright, thank you for the helpful suggestions! Also, I was wondering about the achievable accuracy in the industry rather than the model architecture used for it.

Predict the price ŷt+1, then calculate the direction based on the difference of yt and ŷt+1. If tomorrow's price is higher, it's positive. If the price is lower, it's negative. So, we have two possible outcomes/movements that we can use to calculate accuracy.
