This forum post asks how to migrate several legacy factors from an earlier version of a quantitative research platform into a newer one. The expressions cover an industry-grouped beta adjustment, a rolling correlation between log volume and absolute returns,…
This research summary explains how alpha factors can be represented by factor-mimicking portfolios (FMPs) under a stock covariance model, and how linear combinations of factors correspond to combinations of their mimicking portfolios. It frames factor…
This stock-selection post screens equities in the metaverse theme, requiring a positive price-to-earnings ratio and a price-change condition below six percent at 9:25. It presents the sector filter as a way to focus on a popular theme and positive P/E as a…
This research review examines whether stocks moving together always reduce active mutual fund performance. It distinguishes synchronicity driven by broad market information from synchronicity associated with noise trading, proposing that investor sentiment…
This Chinese equity-screening proposal ranks companies by capital-flow strength and combines that ranking with a market-cap limit, a no-loss condition, and a dividend payout ratio above 25% for 2019. The discussion interprets stronger capital flow as…
This post describes an equity screening approach that combines a minimum daily high-to-low range, consistently high return on equity over five years, and weekly MACD above its zero line. The rationale is to pair a price movement filter with a profitability…
This research report studies portfolio construction around a weekly stock-selection model called AlphaNet, built from price and volume data. It examines several portfolio optimization approaches intended to accommodate different risk and return objectives.…
This research summary proposes a stock illiquidity factor based on the shortest path through intraday candlestick data. It aims to improve on a conventional proxy that relates price returns to trading volume, which the authors say can be unreliable during…
This research summary reviews the low-volatility equity factor across overseas markets and mainland Chinese shares. It describes the behavioral explanation that highly volatile stocks may be more vulnerable to speculation and rich valuations, while…
The document describes an A-share stock screen that combines price amplitude, an outstanding convertible-bond name field, and valuation filters. It first discusses positive price-to-earnings as a profitability condition, then revises the proposed final…
This stock-selection screen combines a technical condition with an earnings-growth filter. It selects Chinese A-shares whose 14-period RSI is below 65 and whose year-over-year growth in net profit attributable to parent shareholders is above 20% and no more…
This post describes a Chinese equity selection rule that ranks stocks using a proxy for capital participation: yesterday’s turnover multiplied by the ratio of today’s auction volume to yesterday’s volume. It proposes keeping values within a stated band and…
This post outlines a stock screen that selects shares with a price range above a threshold, excludes Beijing-listed A-shares, and requires a positive price-to-earnings ratio. It presents the screen as a way to combine price movement with a basic valuation…
This article explains the theoretical link between beta pricing models, including the Fama-French three-factor model, and stochastic discount factors (SDFs). It distinguishes absolute pricing, which connects asset values to macroeconomic risks, from relative…
This Chinese equity selection approach combines a technical filter with a fundamental growth condition. It looks for stocks with MACD above zero and a rising DEA line, then requires revenue in 2021 to exceed its 2018 level by more than ten percent. The…
The post describes a Chinese equity screen combining a recent increase in fund holdings, a minimum scale threshold, and revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. It presents the revenue ratio threshold as evidence of business growth and treats rising fund…
This document describes a Chinese A-share stock screen combining a technical condition, an earnings-growth filter, and price trend checks. The initial version selects stocks with RSI below 65, year-over-year growth in net profit attributable to…
This review summarizes research testing whether small-cap stocks continued to outperform large caps across calendar effects in US equities. The underlying study forms portfolios from the smallest and largest size groups and examines the return spread around…
The document outlines a training program on cross-sectional multi-factor strategies, also described as alpha strategies. Its curriculum spans factor data preparation, supervised learning, model evaluation and interpretation, portfolio construction, and…
This report summarizes stock-selection results for several machine-learning models across broad Chinese equity universes and constituent groups tied to the CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 800. It compares weekly, recent-month, and 2018-to-date excess returns, and…
This brief forum entry addresses an SQL error encountered while trying to neutralize a rolling turnover measure against total market capitalization. It points readers toward a regression-residual function as an alternative to a direct neutralization call.…
This brief Q&A explains why neutralizing individual factors for market capitalization does not guarantee that a trained stock-selection model will have no size exposure. After neutralization, linear groupings of the factor may contain both large- and…
This Chinese research note proposes using capital flow ratios within style-factor portfolios to guide style rotation. It argues that raw inflow and outflow totals mostly move alongside prices, while flows measured against trading value or by…
