Momentum- und Carry-Signale in einem kleinen FX-Spotmarkt-Universum testen
Zusammenfassung
Diese Fallstudie bewertet tägliche Momentum- und Carry-Signale in einem kleinen, korrelierten Universum von G10-Spot-Währungspaaren. Der Ablauf reicht von Machbarkeitsprüfungen und zukunftsgerichteten Renditelabels über konstruierte und modellbasierte Merkmale, Kreuzvalidierung, verschiedene Modellfamilien, Kausalanalyse, Backtests, Vergleiche von Allokation und Risiko sowie Kostensensitivität bis hin zu einem versiegelten Holdout. Das Design legt den Schwerpunkt auf eine um die Auswahl bereinigte Bewertung und den Vergleich mit einer gleichgewichteten Benchmark, statt Modellwerte allein als Beleg für eine Strategie zu behandeln.
Die berichteten Informationskoeffizienten trainierter Modelle haben über alle untersuchten Horizonte hinweg Konfidenzintervalle, die null einschließen. Auch eine anhand der Validierung ausgewählte Long-Short-Strategie mit einem 21-Tage-Label und Mean-Varianz-Allokation weist ein breites, null einschließendes Intervall auf; die Holdout-Ergebnisse bleiben statistisch und wirtschaftlich nicht schlüssig. Die Analyse berichtet, dass realistische Handelskosten relevant sind und die getesteten Positionskontrollen gegenüber dem unveränderten Strategie-Träger keine Verbesserung brachten. Die Belege gelten nur für die angegebene historische Stichprobe, das Paaruniversum, den Merkmalsbestand, die Ausführungsannahmen und die getesteten Konfigurationen. Das Dokument kommt zu dem Schluss, dass sie keinen querschnittlichen FX-Edge belegen.
Kernaussagen
- Der FX-Querschnitt ist klein und korreliert, wodurch die Zahl effektiv unabhängiger Positionen begrenzt ist.
- Die Studie vergleicht Momentum- und Carry-Signale durch Validierung, Portfoliotests, Kostenanalyse und Holdout-Auswertung.
- Die berichteten Konfidenzintervalle für Modelle und Strategien schließen null ein; die Ergebnisse klären daher nicht, ob ein Trading-Edge besteht.
- Tägliches Rebalancing macht die Performance empfindlich gegenüber Transaktionskosten.
- In dieser Studie schnitten die getesteten Risiko-Overlays schlechter ab als die Strategie ohne Overlay.

# # Temporal Convolutional Network - FX Pairs
#
# A temporal convolutional network reads a fixed number of consecutive daily observations for each
# currency pair. A missing daily observation invalidates every lookback window that crosses it. The
# shared sequence runner derives that eligible endpoint grid, primes each validation fold only with
# observable earlier rows, saves epoch checkpoints, and publishes predictions against the same grid.
#
# **Learning objectives**
#
# - Define one sequence-model request without rebuilding windows in the notebook.
# - Inspect the cadence-aware eligibility and checkpoint identities recorded by the runner.
# - Reload fitted weights and pass complete predictions through the shared catalog.
#
# **Book reference**: Chapter 13, Sections 13.2 and 13.4

# **Prerequisites**: `02_labels`, `03_financial_features`, and `04_model_based_features`.

#
# `SUPERSEDES_POPULATION` names the population hash this run replaces. A population is the set of
# prediction identities it publishes, so anything that moves a training identity produces a
# different population under the same name, and the registry refuses to write it without being
# told which snapshot it supersedes. That lineage is the only record of which generation is which,
# and what moved the identities here was a change to the family's own source file rather than to
# anything the notebook declares.
#
# `population_supersedes` decides whether the declared hash may be offered. It is offered when the
# name already carries the generation this declaration produced, so a re-run resolves to the
# population it published, and when the declaration names the generation in force, so a refit
# publishes the next one. It is withheld everywhere else - on a reader's clean clone, where
# `run_log/` is gitignored and the registry has no generation at all; under a caller's own
# `POPULATION_NAME`; and in a preview, whose isolated registry holds nothing under this name.

#
# - Eligibility is defined by consecutive observations at the declared daily cadence.
# - Validation priming uses earlier observable rows without admitting training targets.
# - Every saved epoch checkpoint remains available to the backtest stage.
