Setting Weekly or Monthly Rebalancing in BigQuant

Article BigQuant
Read the original

Summary

This short forum exchange explains how to configure BigQuant’s trading engine to rebalance on a weekly or monthly schedule. For weekly scheduling, it specifies the weekly trading-day mode and a day value of 5; for monthly scheduling, it specifies the monthly trading-day mode and a value of -1. These settings are presented as parameters to add to the engine configuration.

The exchange provides no backtest results or detailed explanation of how the engine interprets the day values. It ends with an unanswered question about whether the weekly setting still selects the final trading day when that day is not Friday. Users should therefore confirm the platform’s calendar behavior, especially around holidays or unusual trading weeks, before relying on the schedule. The material is a narrow configuration note rather than a discussion of strategy selection or the performance effects of changing rebalance frequency.

Key ideas

  • BigQuant can be configured to rebalance weekly or monthly through trading-engine parameters.
  • The weekly example uses weekly trading-day mode with a day value of 5.
  • The monthly example uses monthly trading-day mode with a day value of -1.
  • The exchange leaves the handling of a non-Friday final trading day unresolved.
  • The settings’ calendar behavior should be confirmed for the intended trading schedule.
