Building AI Stock Strategies from Market, Sector, and Stock Factors
Summary
This note outlines a workflow for creating an AI-assisted stock selection strategy. It recommends combining signals about the broad market, industry groups, and individual stocks rather than relying on a single factor. Example inputs include index returns and market breadth, sector returns and rankings, and stock returns, volume changes, price location, and relative strength within a sector. Sector measures can be derived by aggregating constituent-stock data.
To reduce model complexity, the author suggests converting continuous values such as returns into a small number of categories, then filtering the universe for a desired stock profile, such as recent limit-up activity or historical strength. The document is a conceptual platform-oriented guide and gives examples, but no backtest, performance evidence, validation method, or safeguards against overfitting and data leakage. Its discretization proposal may simplify training, though bin definitions and their effect on predictive power are not examined.
Key ideas
- Combine broad-market, sector, and individual-stock features when designing a stock selection model.
- Construct sector indicators from constituent data when precomputed sector features are unavailable.
- Discretize continuous inputs into categories to reduce the number of distinct values presented to a model.
- Filter candidate stocks to match the volatility or momentum profile being studied.
- The document provides a design outline but no empirical validation or performance results.
