View MoreDaniel submitted the research Fama French Five Factors
Abstract
The Fama French five-factor model is a widely used financial model that quantifies risk and estimates the expected return on equity. It builds upon the dividend discount model and incorporates five factors: market return, size, value, profitability, and investment pattern. This model is used to develop a stock-picking strategy that focuses on these factors. The strategy involves running a Coarse Selection to filter out equities with no fundamental data or low prices, and then selecting those with the highest dollar volume. The portfolio is rebalanced every 30 days and the backtest period runs from Jan 2010 to Aug 2019. The strategy can be improved by adjusting the fundamental factors, factor weights, and rebalancing frequency.
Daniel submitted the research Seasonality Effect Based On Same Calendar Month Returns
Abstract
This tutorial discusses the implementation of a seasonality strategy based on historical same-calendar-month returns. The strategy is derived from a research paper on return seasonalities. Seasonality effects in algorithmic trading have been well-documented across various countries, stock returns, and portfolios. The strategy involves selecting the top 100 liquid securities with a price greater than $5 as the universe. For each security, the monthly return for the same-calendar month of the previous year is calculated. Long positions are taken on securities with high monthly returns, while short positions are taken on securities with low monthly returns. The algorithm is rebalanced and the strategy is repeated at the end of each month. The implementation achieves a Sharpe ratio of 0.128 relative to the S&P 500 over the past 10 years. Possible improvements include using multiple years of same-calendar-month returns, incorporating time effects in the returns, and using different criteria for initial universe selection.
Daniel submitted the research Risk Premia In Forex Markets
Abstract
This tutorial discusses a risk premia strategy in Forex markets based on a skewness indicator. The strategy is derived from a paper that explores the relationship between risk premia and skewness. The tutorial outlines the method for selecting the Forex universe and provides backtest results. The results show a low annual return and suggest potential improvements such as diversifying the Forex universe, adjusting the thresholds for positions, and increasing the length of historical data. The community is encouraged to further develop and test this strategy with different symbols, thresholds, and historical data lengths. The reference to the paper is provided for further reading.
Daniel submitted the research Price And Earnings Momentum
Abstract
This tutorial discusses a strategy based on the price and earnings momentum effect of stocks, derived from the paper "Momentum" by N. Jegadeesh and S. Titman. Price/return momentum refers to the tendency for stocks that perform well over a three to twelve month period to continue performing well, while stocks that perform poorly tend to continue performing poorly. Earnings momentum refers to the tendency for stocks with high earnings per share (EPS) to outperform stocks with low EPS. The tutorial outlines a quarterly-rebalanced stock strategy based on these momentum factors. The method involves selecting a coarse universe of assets based on volume, price, and fundamental data, and later applying a fine universe filter. The hope is that the community can further develop strategies based on these techniques.
