ٹرپل بیریئر لیبلز کو MFE اور MAE ایکسکرشنز سے کیلیبریٹ کرنا

کوڈ Machine Learning for Trading

خلاصہ

یہ نوٹ بک زیادہ سے زیادہ موافق ایکسکرژن (MFE) اور زیادہ سے زیادہ ناموافق ایکسکرژن (MAE) استعمال کرکے ٹرپل بیریئر لیبل کی چوڑائی کو مشاہدہ شدہ قیمتوں کے راستوں سے جوڑتی ہے۔ بار کے اختتام پر کھولی گئی پوزیشن کے لیے، یہ اگلے بار سے شروع ہونے والی آئندہ ہولڈنگ مدت میں بہترین موافق اور بدترین ناموافق حرکت ناپتی ہے۔ لانگ اور شارٹ پوزیشنوں میں تعریفیں الٹ جاتی ہیں۔ یہ ٹرو رینج اور وائلڈر اسموٹنگ سے اوسط حقیقی رینج بھی بیان کرتی ہے، اور بیریئر کی چوڑائی ڈھالنے کے طریقے کے طور پر اتار چڑھاؤ کی شرط بندی پیش کرتی ہے۔

تجزیہ روزانہ SPY اور ES ڈیٹا کا فی گھنٹہ BTC ڈیٹا سے موازنہ کرتا ہے، ایکسکرژن کی تقسیم اور بیریئر ٹکرانے کی اقسام دیکھتا ہے، اور انٹرا ڈے بلند و پست قیمتوں کی پیمائش کا اختتامی قیمتوں پر مبنی لائبریری طریقے سے موازنہ کرتا ہے۔ نوٹ بک کے مطابق ایکسکرژن کوانٹائلز ہر انسٹرومنٹ کے لیے بیریئر مقرر کرنے میں مدد دے سکتے ہیں، اور ناموافق و موافق دم روایتی مفروضوں کے مطابق نہ بھی ہوں۔ اس کی پیمائش منتخب اثاثوں، مدتوں اور نمونے تک محدود ہے؛ نوٹ بک دیگر ترتیبات کے لیے اسے دوبارہ چلانے کی سفارش کرتی ہے۔

اہم خیالات

  • داخلے کی اختتامی قیمت سے ایکسکرژن ناپیں اور صرف اس کے بعد کے بار استعمال کریں، تاکہ داخلے سے پہلے کی قیمتوں کی حرکت شامل نہ ہو۔
  • شارٹ پوزیشنوں میں موافق اور ناموافق ایکسکرژن کی تعریفیں لانگ پوزیشنوں کے مقابلے میں الٹ ہوتی ہیں۔
  • انٹرا ڈے بلند و پست قیمتیں، صرف اختتامی قیمتوں کی پیمائش کے مقابلے میں، زیادہ وسیع راستے دکھاتی ہیں اور بیریئر کی چوڑائی طے کرنے میں بہتر رہنمائی دے سکتی ہیں۔
  • ٹرپل بیریئر کی حدیں مقرر کرنے کے لیے ایکسکرژن کی تقسیم اور مشاہدہ شدہ بیریئر ٹکراؤ استعمال کریں۔
  • اتار چڑھاؤ کے ادوار مناسب بیریئر کی چوڑائی پر اثر انداز ہو سکتے ہیں، خاص طور پر روزانہ کی حکمتِ عملیوں میں۔

# # Maximum Favorable/Adverse Excursion (MFE/MAE) Analysis
#
# **Docker image**: `ml4t`
#
# **Chapter 7: Defining the Learning Task**
# **Section Reference**: 7.2 - Label Engineering
#
# ## Purpose
#
# This notebook provides **empirical justification** for triple-barrier parameter
# choices. Rather than picking arbitrary barrier widths, we analyze actual price
# excursions to determine appropriate thresholds.
#
# ## Key Questions Answered
#
# 1. How far do prices typically move in our favor before reversing?
# 2. How far do prices move against us before recovering?
# 3. How do these distributions differ by asset class and volatility regime?
# 4. What barrier widths capture meaningful price moves without excessive stops?
#
# ## MFE/MAE Definitions
#
# Maximum Favorable Excursion (MFE) and Maximum Adverse Excursion (MAE) were
# introduced by John Sweeney in *Campaign Trading* (1996) to analyze trade
# management. For a **long** entry at time $t$ with holding period $H$:
#
# $$\text{MFE}(t) = \max_{u \in [t+1, t+H]} \left( \frac{\text{high}(u)}{\text{entry}(t)} - 1 \right)$$
#
# $$\text{MAE}(t) = \max_{u \in [t+1, t+H]} \left( 1 - \frac{\text{low}(u)}{\text{entry}(t)} \right)$$
#
# **Note**: Both MFE and MAE are non-negative by definition. For **short** positions,
# the definitions reverse: MFE uses lows (favorable moves down) and MAE uses highs
# (adverse moves up).
#
# The window opens at $t+1$. The entry fills at bar $t$'s close, so bar $t$'s own
# high and low have already happened: counting them measures movement the position
# was never exposed to, and stretches an $H$-bar holding period over $H+1$ bars.
# Both excursions are inflated, and unevenly, since where the close sits inside bar
# $t$'s range decides which side gains more.
#
# ## Data Coverage
#
# - **ETF Universe** (daily): SPY as representative equity exposure
# - **Crypto Premium** (hourly): BTC for high-volatility comparison
# - **CME Futures** (daily): ES for institutional context
#
# ## Prerequisites
#
# - `03_label_methods` - defines the triple-barrier label whose parameters
#   this notebook empirically justifies.
# - Familiarity with OHLCV bar data and ATR (true range with Wilder smoothing).
# - Polars `max_horizontal` / `min_horizontal` and forward-shifted columns.

# ## Vectorized MFE/MAE Computation
#
# We use Polars' `max_horizontal` and `min_horizontal` functions to compute
# forward-looking extremes without Python loops. This approach builds $H$ shifted
# columns - shifts $-1$ through $-H$, so the entry bar is excluded - resulting in
# $O(n \times H)$ work and memory. While vectorized (no Python loops), memory scales
# with horizon. For very large horizons the equivalent reverse-rolling form is
# `high.shift(-1).reverse().rolling_max(H).reverse()`; note the `shift(-1)`, without
# which the window reopens at bar $t$ and reintroduces the pre-entry extremes.

    Compute maximum favorable excursion (MFE) and maximum adverse excursion (MAE).

    Definitions are for a long position when side=1, entering at close(t):
    - MFE(t) = max_{u in [t+1, t+h]} (high(u)/entry(t) - 1)
    - MAE(t) = max_{u in [t+1, t+h]} (1 - low(u)/entry(t))

    The window opens at ``t+1``, not ``t``. Bar ``t``'s own high and low are
    already in the past when the entry fills at bar ``t``'s close, so including
    them measures movement the position never had the chance to experience and
    inflates both excursions. It also makes the window ``h+1`` bars long while the
    caller asked for ``h``.

    For short positions (side=-1), favorable and adverse are swapped.

    Results are clipped at 0 to reflect the standard non-negative excursion notion.

# The two shapes differ in a way the medians only half describe. The typical favorable
# move is the larger one: SPY's median MFE runs above its median MAE, printed above. But
# the adverse panel is the more concentrated near zero *and* carries the heavier tail, so
# the ordering reverses further out - the p90 adverse excursion exceeds the p90 favorable
# one. A take-profit set from the MFE distribution and a stop set from the MAE
# distribution therefore do not keep a fixed ratio as the percentile moves, which is why
# the recommendations table reports both at more than one quantile rather than a single

# across tenors 0, 1 and 2. `compute_mfe_mae` walks a forward window with `shift(-k)` over
# whatever row order it is handed, so on the unfiltered frame the excursion window
# steps across three different contracts instead of forward in time on one, and every
# excursion statistic comes out inflated. Those statistics are exported to
# `mfe_mae_summary.json` as the source for the chapter's barrier-width references, so the
# filter below runs before the sort rather than after it.

# ## Recommendations Summary
#
# Each instrument's barriers come from its own excursion distribution, at the same
# percentile, so the take-profit is read off the MFE and the stop off the MAE. The
# table below is built from the measured quantiles rather than typed, which is the
# whole point of the exercise: a barrier width is a claim about how far price
# travels, and this notebook measured how far it travels.
#
# For the two daily instruments the table also reports the ATR multiple a
# volatility-scaled stop would use. That multiple is the 75th percentile of the
# per-entry ratio `MAE(t) / ATR(t)`, **not** the p75 excursion divided by the mean
# ATR. The two are different numbers and only the first answers the question an
# ATR-scaled stop asks. A stop placed at `k x ATR(t)` is re-sized every day, so
# what has to hold at the 75th percentile is the *ratio*; dividing one aggregate by
# another gives the ratio of typical values, which ignores that ATR and the
# excursion it scales move together. It is a *consequence* of the measured
# distribution rather than an input to it, which is why the multiple differs by
# instrument instead of being a round number chosen in advance.

# **What the table says.** BTC's excursions over one funding cycle are an order of
# magnitude smaller than the daily instruments' over a trading month, which is horizon
# rather than asset:
# a fixed percentage barrier is workable there because the funding cycle fixes the
# holding period. For SPY and ES the stop that the p75 adverse excursion implies is
# *wider* than one ATR, so an implementation that reaches for a round `1xATR` stop
# will be stopped out by ordinary movement.
#
# Note the ES-versus-SPY comparison printed above, which holds only while the two
# instruments carry the same horizon - the print says so when they do not. At the shipped
# horizons ES adverse excursions are wider than SPY's at both quantiles, so the intuition
# that an index future deserves a *tighter* stop than the matching ETF is contradicted by
# the measurement. This is
# the same trap as the take-profit/stop-loss ordering under **Barrier Validation via
# Hit-Type Analysis**: a plausible-sounding
# asymmetry, asserted rather than measured, pointing the wrong way.

# 1. A barrier width is a property of one instrument at one horizon, not of an asset
#    class - the printed table is the calibration, recomputed whenever the data is.
# 2. Regime conditioning matters more than the choice of instrument: the
#    regime-conditional table shows the high-volatility tercile carrying roughly twice
#    the excursion of the low one, a ratio larger than any gap between SPY and ES.
# 3. ATR-scaled barriers adapt to that regime shift; fixed percentage barriers are
#    defensible only where the holding period is short and externally fixed.

# Two conventions appear in the table above. The manual MFE/MAE block under **ETF
# Analysis**
# clips both excursions to be non-negative - adverse moves report as positive
# percentages. The `analyze_excursions` library reports adverse excursions as
# *signed* deviations (negative when the price drops below entry), which is why
# `mae_p50_pct` shows negative values. Both conventions are valid; barrier
# calibration only needs the magnitude. The two are close but not identical: the
# library measures excursions on close prices, while the manual block uses
# intraday high/low, so the manual magnitudes run wider (quantified in the
# comparison below).

# ## Summary
#
# This notebook provides empirical justification for triple-barrier parameters:
#
# 1. **Vectorized MFE/MAE**: Efficient computation using Polars horizontal operations
# 2. **ATR**: True range with Wilder smoothing
# 3. **Non-negative excursions**: MFE/MAE clipped at 0 by definition
# 4. **Regime conditioning**: High-vol periods require wider barriers
# 5. **Validation via hit-types**: Barrier widths validated by hit distribution
#
# ### Key Results
#
# - **Barriers are measured, not chosen**: the hit-type validation takes its widths
#   from the MFE and MAE quantiles and the recommendations table reports them per
#   instrument, so a re-run recalibrates them rather than confirming a number typed here.
# - **The asymmetry is not the one intuition offers**: at the 90th percentile SPY's
#   stop belongs wider than its take-profit, and ES's adverse excursions are wider
#   than SPY's - both the reverse of the conventional framing.
# - **Volatility scaling**: required for daily strategies; less critical where the
#   holding period is short and externally fixed, as with the crypto funding cycle.
#
# ### Production Usage
#
# Use the exported `mfe_mae_summary.json` for chapter references.
# For custom calibration, run this notebook with your specific asset and horizon.
