I would fit the data with various (r,p) arma models with the the desired garch assumption on the evolution of the variance and consider both the likelihood ratios and autocorrelation of the standardized residuals to determine the best model to fit the data. I have code for this if you want (althou

That stock market returns follow a Martingale in general has been pretty well disproved. See the survey literature in The Econometrics of Financial Markets by Campbell, Lo and MacKinlay and A Non-Random Walk down wall street by Andrew Lo. Index returns show quite significant lag correlations which

Stock market returns usually satisfy martingale property, and are uncorrelated. I think you should check your calculations again for errors. Are you sure that you are working with returns and not prices? I guess that by "heavy correlation" you mean that estimated autoregressive coefficient is clos

I have a question about my residuals. When testing for autocorrelation I come to the conclusion that the models (garch, Egarch, GJR a.k.a. Tarch) remove the correlation from the squared standardized residuals but not from the standardized residuals. Are my models misspecified?? I use returns from
