The paper provides a framework to model and forecast volatility of EUR/USD exchange rate based on the unbiased AddRS estimator as proposed by Kumar and Maheswaran [1]. The framework is based on the heterogeneous auto-regressive (HAR) model to capture the heterogeneity in a market and to ac-count for long memory in data. The results indicate that the framework based on the unbiased extreme value volatility estimator generates more accurate forecasts of daily volatility in comparison to alternative volatility models.
