Dear @quani42,

Your submissions are in the queue and will be processed. Also, all submissions that are sent to the contest before the deadline will be eligible to take part in it.

Regards

@xiaolan Yes, allocations are translate to orders internally, it is enough to check the variation in the allocations and transform it into number of contracts bought/sold. When we designed the toolbox the goal was to simplify development as much as possible for the users.

@support Ok, I see, thanks

Thanks !

@support Thx for ur reply

@magenta-grimer Hello, we updated the documentation.

Now there are 78 futures contracts. Yes, we allow allocating to only 1 asset. If you trade more assets, then you can go long on some of them and short others.

Using more assets helps in increasing the Sharpe ratio, as the mean return grows linearly with the number of assets, and the volatility in the denominator with the square root of the number of assets if there are no correlation terms.

Using uncorrelated assets would then lead to a scaling of the Sharpe ratio with the square root of the number of assets. In practice, however, correlation terms are decreasing this growth.

Stated more simply, it is a good idea to avoid putting all your eggs in the same basket...

@captain-nidoran Fixed, sorry for issue

@multi_byte-wildebeest Hi, these limitations refer to the processing time per point in time, not for the full strategy.

If it takes 10 minutes per historical day, and the simulation has to take into account 250 days for let us say 10 years, the multi-pass simulation would process 6 days per hour, 144 days per real day, that means 2 weeks of processing time for the full submission, it is a lot of time.

@captain-nidoran hi, all your strategies which will take part to the contest should be under the "In Contest" tab in the "Competition" section.

The migration "Candidates" -> "In Contest" was not immediate as we released minor improvements to the front-end side once the submission phase was over.

@support Thank you!

@support ok, thank you!

@newbiequant96 Hi, the template is a "working code" still to be finalized and published among the templates in the account area, however the logic behind is strictly multi-pass and a conversion to single pass is not really so straightforward.

Thanks for the answer!

I still think something is wrong with this correlation checker. I even used this function to randomize the weights a few times, and I got the same correlation error:

def add_random_noise(weights, noise_level=0.01): noise = np.random.uniform(-noise_level, noise_level, size=weights.shape) return weights + noise

I am pretty sure it's impossible to have 90% correlation in this case.

@commanderangle Dear commanderangle,

Your strategies are processed in a correct manner, but the reason why you see 0 out-of-sample score is due to the fact that your strategies generate zero weights for all assets for out-of-sample time period. You can check your weights for any strategy by downloading them. There is a download button in the submission logs section.

Regards

@support Hello,

got it, thanks for the reply,

@support Thank you for your advise, it's ok

@multi_byte-wildebeest Hello.

How to get the Sharpe Ratio is in the Quick Start template.
https://github.com/quantiacs/strategy-q20-nasdaq100-quick-start/blob/master/strategy.ipynb

import qnt.stats as qnstats def get_sharpe(market_data, weights): rr = qnstats.calc_relative_return(market_data, weights) sharpe = qnstats.calc_sharpe_ratio_annualized(rr).values[-1] return sharpe sharpe = get_sharpe(data, weights) # weights.sel(time=slice("2006-01-01",None))

or

import qnt.output as qnout qnout.check(weights, data, "stocks_nasdaq100")

or

stat = qnstats.calc_stat(data, weights) display(stat.to_pandas().tail())

or

import qnt.graph as qngraph statistics = qnstats.calc_stat(data, weights) display(statistics.to_pandas().tail()) performance = statistics.to_pandas()["equity"] qngraph.make_plot_filled(performance.index, performance, name="PnL (Equity)", type="log") display(statistics[-1:].sel(field=["sharpe_ratio"]).transpose().to_pandas()) qnstats.print_correlation(weights, data)

Please look at this post

@support Thank you for your feedback. I also hope Quantiacs updates new strategy examples on how to use technical analysis (besides sma, trix_ema, atr_lwma,...), and strategies on using ML/DL models effectively (not an example that strategy forward-looking),...

Hopefully in the future Quantiacs will release new data sets such as news, sentiment, macro, options,... Create new contests that allow merging strategies to build portfolios,...

Hopefully, Quantiacs will continue to grow. Sincere thanks to Quantiacs for creating extremely high-quality contests.

@magenta-kabuto Thank you very much for your advice. I will research to apply your suggestions to the algorithm

@support. Thank you. So as I understand it, I will give higher weight to strategies with lower correlation and vice versa, right? According to your answer, I understand that I can also give high weight to low-volatility strategies and vice versa. So what about equal risk portfolio? In your opinion, is this an effective way to optimize your portfolio?
