This Chinese-language research summary examines whether stocks removed from the CSI 300 later rebound. It compares cumulative excess returns for additions and deletions around index changes, measuring performance from 260 trading days before a change through…

This report presents a fundamental quantitative stock-selection framework for China’s lithium battery industry. It first reconstructs the supply chain into battery makers, material suppliers, and upstream cobalt and lithium resources, arguing that…

This report summary presents a framework for converting intraday or other medium-to-high-frequency signals into factors intended to predict returns over a monthly horizon. It separates factor construction into signal generation, aggregation from intraday…

The discussion explains how to change a StockRanker strategy’s initial buying schedule when starting a live simulation. The questioner says the strategy gradually adds positions, leaving the portfolio underinvested at launch, and wants the simulation’s first…

The document describes a strategy that ranks Chinese A-share market concepts by their recent equal-weighted stock returns, then buys stocks in winning concepts and shorts those in losing concepts. Portfolios are rebalanced monthly, with formation and holding…

This platform discussion addresses a reporting difference between older and newer versions of a StockRanker workflow. A user says the older version displayed feature importance and NDCG after a backtest, while those results were not visible in the newer…

This tutorial outlines a long and short strategy that uses short and long simple moving averages to identify trend changes. A bullish crossover triggers a long signal, while a bearish crossover triggers a short signal. It describes applying the approach to…

This BigQuant example builds a long-only Chinese stock portfolio from a filtered universe of main-board shares. It excludes suspended stocks and, in its feature filters, keeps non-ST stocks listed for more than a year, with positive trailing earnings and…

This platform discussion describes a data-ordering problem in a quantitative feature extraction workflow. The author reports that extracted rows and the original data may be separated or misaligned instead of being grouped and ordered by stock. Applying a…

This discussion explains how a quantitative platform interprets factor weights and describes its StockRanker as a learning-to-rank model based on a gradient-boosted decision tree structure. The response says the model does not require independent factors,…

This research compares ways to construct and transform analyst-consensus forecast factors for stock selection and industry rotation. It examines expected return on equity, net profit, net-profit growth, and a two-year compound-growth measure. The approaches…
