The density is obtained simultaneously with its local functional ЗcenterИ, i. e. the value that depends upon the variable and with regard to which central moments are evaluated. Both functions are obtained as solutions to one and the same variational problem. The solution is compatible with some crucial results in behavioral finance. Empirical results concerning the FX market forecasting are obtained and discussed.
