Why the Stock Template Does Not Apply the Adjustment Factor

Article BigQuant

Summary

This discussion explains why a stock-selection template that lists close divided by the adjustment factor may not produce that calculated feature in its results. The reported output shows the two inputs as separate columns, suggesting the expression was not actually applied in the template's later calculation steps.

The response acknowledges a template problem and says the current version does not use the adjustment factor. It points to a modified example that adds one module and changes another as a way to incorporate the factor. The discussion provides no detailed explanation of the module changes, validation results, or guidance on how adjusted prices should be used. Its practical lesson is to verify that a listed feature is connected to the calculation rather than assuming the template evaluates it.

Key ideas

  • A feature listed as a ratio may still be passed through as separate input columns.
  • The discussed template does not apply the adjustment factor in its current form.
  • A modified template is suggested as an example of how to include the adjustment factor.
  • The post gives no performance evidence or detailed implementation steps.
