# # US Firm Characteristics: Risk Overlay Applicability
#
# **Chapter 19 - Risk Management**
#
# A risk overlay is a rule that closes a position on something the position does
# while it is held: a stop-loss when it falls a set distance below entry, a
# trailing stop when it falls that distance below its own high, a time exit after
# a fixed number of bars. Every one of those rules asks what the price did
# *between* the moment the position was opened and the moment it would otherwise
# be closed.
#
# This case study backtests on the vectorized forward-return path. That path
# holds one weight vector per rebalance and multiplies it by the realized
# forward return over the whole month; it never sees a price inside the month.
# The information a stop needs is therefore not merely unused here, it is absent
# from the data structure the backtest runs on. Simulating a stop on it would
# mean inventing an intra-month path and reporting what the invention did.
#
# **The absence comes from the data release, not from the backtest engine**, and that is
# what makes it permanent rather than a limitation someone could fund away. Read the two
# declarations in `config/setup.yaml` together. `universe.identifiers` is
# `anonymous_split_scoped_firm_axis`, and the note beside it records that identifiers
# persist only inside each released tensor block, with no published mapping between
# blocks. The observations themselves are monthly characteristic vectors. So there is no
# ticker to look a daily price up against, and no continuous firm identity to look it up
# along; a within-month price series for these firms cannot be bought, joined or
# reconstructed. Switching this case study to an engine path would produce the same empty
# table with more machinery behind it.
#
# The other case studies in the book differ on exactly this point rather than on the
# quality of their engineering. An engine path is available where the instrument has a
# public identifier and an intraday or daily price history to go with it. Here the release
# deliberately does not publish one, because anonymity is what allowed the characteristics
# to be released at all.
#
# So this notebook establishes a boundary rather than a result. It selects the
# parent run the overlays would have been applied to, states which controls the
# configuration declares, and registers none of them. The registry query in
# section 3 is what confirms that: an empty result there is the outcome, not a
# missing input.
#
# **Learning Objectives:**
# 1. Select the parent run across the baseline and allocation stages
# 2. Decide whether a backtest path can represent a rule before configuring it
# 3. Separate a governance control from a validation variant that competes on Sharpe
#
# **Book Reference:** Chapter 19, Sections 19.3-19.6, 19.8
#
# **Prerequisites:** the Chapter 17 allocation sweep (`12_portfolio_management`),
# whose runs are in `registry.db`.

# candidate is drawn from two stages at once: the equal-weight baselines from
# `11_backtest` and the allocator variants from `12_portfolio_management`. Taking
# the higher validation Sharpe of the two rather than always taking the allocator
# keeps the funnel honest in the case where portfolio construction did not improve
# on the equal-weight parent it was given.

# The selection runs on validation months alone, and every number below comes from
# them. The holdout period stays for the strategy analysis notebook.

# ### MAE/MFE-Calibrated Trailing Stops
#
# Maximum adverse excursion is the furthest a position moved against the direction it was
# opened in before it was closed; maximum favourable excursion is the furthest it moved in
# that direction. Both are properties of the path a position travelled while it was held,
# and calibrating a stop from them means setting the threshold where it would have avoided
# the losers without cutting the winners short: a stop tighter than the typical winner's
# adverse excursion closes trades that were about to work.
#
# That calibration therefore needs the same thing the stops themselves need, which is a
# price between the open and the close. On the vectorized monthly-outcome path a position
# has an entry weight and a realised month, and no excursion at all - not an unmeasured
# one, an undefined one. So this calibration is skipped and the configured
# position-control catalog is left unexecuted.

# ## 2. Risk Overlay Sweep
#
# On an engine-path case study this loop registers one backtest per position-level
# control. Here the position loop is skipped because the path cannot represent the
# rules, and the portfolio-control list is empty by configuration, so the loop body
# has nothing to register and the count below is zero by construction rather than by
# failure. The two are different outcomes and the counters separate them.
#
# The two lists are empty for different reasons, and only one of them is about this
# backtest path. A position-level control asks what one position did while it was held,
# so it is blocked by the missing intra-month price. A portfolio-level control asks what
# the book looked like at a rebalance: gross exposure, the largest weight any single name
# may carry, the number of names that must be held. Every one of those is answerable from
# the weight vector this path does hold, so the vectorized path is no obstacle to them.
#
# They are absent because `config/setup.yaml` declares none, and that is a position rather
# than an oversight. A gross-exposure limit or a per-name cap is a constraint the desk
# operates under whatever the backtest says, so it is specified from outside and not
# discovered from the data. Sweeping it alongside the allocators would enter it into a
# competition ranked on validation Sharpe, and that ranking cannot answer the question the
# limit exists to settle: how much loss the desk is willing to be exposed to. Whichever cap
# scored highest over the validation months would be the recommendation, and the mandate
# would have been decided by an estimate rather than by the people who carry the risk.
#
# Which cap that is cannot be predicted in either direction, and it is worth being clear
# that the argument does not rest on one. Scaling every weight by a constant leaves Sharpe
# unchanged before costs. A per-name cap is not a scaling: `_cap_weights` in
# `case_studies/utils/allocation.py` clips any weight above `max_weight` and spreads the
# excess in equal parts across the names still under it, iterating until none is over. **No
# name is dropped** - the holding set after the cap is the holding set before it - so what a
# binding cap changes is the relative exposure across an unchanged set of names. That moves
# realised Sharpe, and it can move it either way: the cap takes exposure from whichever
# names the allocator weighted most heavily and gives it to the rest, which helps when the
# heaviest names underperformed and hurts when they carried the return. The objection is to
# the question, not to the answer it would return.
#
# Where this case study does constrain concentration it does so through `top_k`, which is
# declared in the strategy and swept as part of it.

# ## 3. What The Registry Holds
#
# This section only reads. It asks the registry for every overlay run filed against
# this case study and, for each, the change in Sharpe against the parent it was
# applied to.
#
# An empty answer here is the point of the notebook rather than a gap in it. A Sharpe
# delta next to each rule would read exactly as one a stop had earned, and on this path
# it could only come from an intra-month price series the data does not contain, so an
# empty table is the honest form of the answer.

# %% [markdown]
# The read is scoped to the prediction the parent run carries. The registry accumulates
# across labels and across earlier funnels, and this section's answer is a count of
# rows, so an unscoped read would turn an overlay row filed under some other selection
# into evidence about this one - which is the single way this notebook's argument could
# be reported as refuted by rows that never tested it.

# ## Key Takeaways
#
# 1. Whether a rule can be represented is a property of the backtest path, not a
#    setting. A stop needs a price between rebalances; the vectorized forward-return
#    path holds one return per rebalance and has none, so a stop cannot be evaluated
#    on it at any parameter value.
# 2. The configuration still declares the position-level controls, because the same
#    file drives the engine-path case studies where they do run. Declared and
#    applicable are separate questions, and this notebook answers the second.
# 3. Portfolio-level limits are absent on purpose. A gross-exposure or per-name cap
#    is a constraint the desk operates under, not a variant that competes for the
#    highest validation Sharpe, and sweeping it as one invites keeping whichever cap
#    was loosest on the grounds that it scored highest.
# 4. The overlay stage registers nothing and reads no holdout month, so the funnel
#    enters the strategy analysis carrying the parent run from section 1 unchanged.
#
# **Next:** [`14_costs`](14_costs.ipynb), which sweeps the cost grid over the
# configuration this stage's result is one candidate for.
# [`17_strategy_analysis`](17_strategy_analysis.ipynb) confronts the selection this funnel
# performed and is where the results are interpreted.
