Uso de um conjunto de ações US congelado e livre de viés de sobrevivência
Resumo
Este documento descreve um conjunto de dados diários de ações US obtido do arquivo Wiki Prices da NASDAQ Data Link. Ele abrange milhares de empresas de 1962 a março de 2018 e inclui empresas que deixaram de ser negociadas, o que o torna útil para pesquisas históricas que precisam reduzir o viés de sobrevivência. Os preços são ajustados por desdobramentos e dividendos, enquanto algumas ações ilíquidas têm pregões ausentes. O arquivo está congelado e não pode ser ampliado para além da data final.
O fluxo de trabalho que acompanha o documento explica como obter e carregar os dados, inspecionar seu esquema e cobertura e filtrar por ticker ou intervalo de datas. Também apresenta uma forma de revisar contagens anuais de símbolos e identificar aqueles com alto volume médio. São procedimentos de exploração e acesso ao conjunto de dados, não uma estratégia de trading. Pesquisadores devem considerar as lacunas em ativos menos líquidos e o limite até o fim de -2018; estudos que precisem de preços mais recentes exigem outra fonte. O documento menciona provedores alternativos, mas não compara sua qualidade nem estabelece que seus históricos sejam diretamente intercambiáveis.
Ideias principais
- O arquivo inclui empresas removidas de listagem, o que ajuda a reduzir o viés de sobrevivência em pesquisas históricas sobre ações.
- Os dados diários terminam em março de 2018 e não podem ser atualizados.
- Os preços são ajustados por desdobramentos e dividendos, mas ações ilíquidas podem ter dias ausentes.
- Filtros por ticker e data permitem selecionar amostras específicas, enquanto contagens anuais ajudam a inspecionar a cobertura.

# ## 1. Configuration
#
# US Equities is a **frozen dataset** from NASDAQ Data Link (formerly Quandl Wiki Prices).
# No local configuration file - the dataset is downloaded as-is.
#
# ### Dataset Characteristics
#
# - **Survivorship-bias free**: Includes delisted companies
# - **Coverage**: 1962-01-02 to 2018-03-27 (frozen)
# - **Adjusted prices**: Split and dividend adjusted
# - **Data quality**: Some gaps for illiquid stocks

# ## 2. API Key Setup
#
# NASDAQ Data Link requires a free API key.
#
# ### Getting an API Key
#
# 1. Go to [NASDAQ Data Link](https://data.nasdaq.com/sign-up)
# 2. Create a free account
# 3. Navigate to **Account Settings** → **API Key**
# 4. Add to your `.env` file in the repository root:
#
# ```bash
# QUANDL_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
# ```
#
# **Note**: The environment variable is `QUANDL_API_KEY` (legacy name) or
# `NASDAQ_DATA_LINK_API_KEY` (new name). Both are supported.
# %%
# Verify API key is configured
api_key = os.getenv("QUANDL_API_KEY") or os.getenv("NASDAQ_DATA_LINK_API_KEY")

# %% [markdown]
# ## 8. Updating Data
#
# **This dataset is NOT updateable.**
#
# The Wiki Prices dataset was frozen in March 2018 when Quandl discontinued
# free maintenance. The data cannot be extended beyond 2018-03-27.
#
# ### Alternatives for Recent Data
#
# For US equity data after 2018, consider:
#
# | Provider | Coverage | Cost |
# |----------|----------|------|
# | AlgoSeek | 2017-2021 | Ships with this repository |
# | Yahoo Finance | Current | Free |
# | Polygon.io | Current | Paid |
# | Tiingo | Current | Freemium |
#
# The AlgoSeek S&P 500 daily bars (638 symbols, 2017-2021) are bundled at
# `data/equities/market/sp500/daily_bars.parquet`; load them with
# `load_sp500_daily_bars()`.
# %% [markdown]
# ## Summary
#
# | Item | Value |
# |------|-------|
# | Symbols | 3,199 US companies |
# | Frequency | Daily OHLCV |
# | Coverage | 1962-2018 (frozen) |
# | Provider | NASDAQ Data Link (free API key) |
# | Loader | `load_us_equities(symbols, start_date, end_date)` |
#
# **Primary use**: Historical backtests, ML training on pre-2019 data.
# **Limitation**: Frozen dataset - ends March 2018.
