Q20 submission
Hi @support, I submitted two new systems to the Q20 competiton two days ago, but both systems are still with a 0% processing status. Could you please check if these submissions are being processed? Thanks!

Ticker for cash
Hi @support,
What is the ticker for cash in the Q19 contest? I've tried 'NAS:CASH' but it didn't work.
Thanks! -
RE: Q19 contest
Hi @support, you guys are doing a great job by improving the platform still further at each contest!
A couple of suggestions/wishes:
(i) A contest that allows to go long (or short) on an enlarged set of assets (for instance, nasdaq and nyse, stocks and futures…)
(ii) A system optimization example based on a multi-pass strategy (instead of single-pass);
(iii) Some extra plots (histograms) generated by the backtest functions (qnbt.backtest and qnbt.backtest_ml) with the best (or worst) assets of the backtested portfolio, for instance, by ranking the average returns (or individual sharpe ratios) of the top 10 assets (or worst 10 assets), using the “get_best_instruments” function discussed in the “Q18 quick start” template.
Many thanks once again!

Q19 contest
Hi @support,
Any clue on the asset class (futures, crypto, nasdaq...) of the next contest? Long-only or long-short?
Thanks!

Calculation time exceeded
Hi @support,
My last submitted strategies are all receiving the error: "Calculation time exceeded".
By running on a JupyterLab environment, it takes roughly one second to run each day (and roughly 1.5 hour to run the strategy since 2006).
The rule about execution time limited to 5 minutes is valid for each day (and not the whole sample from 2006 until 2022), right?
Thanks!

RE: Error - Cannot create strategy
@alphastar Hi, I've got the same error trying to clone an old strategy.

Q18 Contest
Hi @support,
Regarding the new contest (NASDAQ-100 Stock Long-Short), could you please provide us a Quick Start example to show how to properly read the NASDAQ-100 data?
Thanks!

RE: Different Sharpe ratios in backtest and after submission
Hi @support,
I modified the retraining interval to 1 day and it worked. Thank you for the help.
You guys rock!

RE: Different Sharpe ratios in backtest and after submission
By the way, I submitted another system yesterday, called "Sun73_Q17_1b", with an in-sample SR=2, but today the system is online in the website with an in-sample SR=0.7

RE: Different Sharpe ratios in backtest and after submission
Hi @support, I backtested the system in JupyterLab two days ago and submitted on the same day. The submission went online yesterday.
Since I am trying to use a multi-pass strategy based on the function "qnbt.backtest_ml", maybe the difference is due to difference parameters of this function considered in Jupyter and the online filters of the quantiacs website.
Are the parameters of the function "qnbt.backtest_ml" exactly the same in those cases?
For example, I run the code using retrain_interval=90 days. When the system is evaluated online is it retrained every day since 2014 (or every 90 days in this example)? In other words, the parameter "retrain_interval" is forced to 1 when evaluated online?
Many thanks again!

RE: Different Sharpe ratios in backtest and after submission
I am using the "in-sample Sharpe" in the comparison above.

Different Sharpe ratios in backtest and after submission
Hi @support,
The SR of the system "Sun73_Q17_1a" is above 1 in JupyterLab (SR = 1.08), but almost half of it (SR=0.50) after submission to the Q17 contest.
Do you have any clue on that? I am using a modified version of the example "Q17 Supervised Learning".
Many thanks!

RE: Systems selection for the Q16 contest
Hi @support,
Thank you for the prompt response. My set of Q16 systems displayed on the website https://quantiacs.com/leaderboard/16 is the following: Sun73_Q16_1c , Sun73_Q16_1d , Sun73_Q16_1e , Sun73_Q16_2b , Sun73_Q16_2b_v2 , Sun73_Q16_2b_v3 , Sun73_Q16_2c , Sun73_Q16_2e , Sun73_Q16_2f , Sun73_Q16_3a , Sun73_Q16_3b , Sun73_Q16_3c , Sun73_Q16_3d , Sun73_Q16_3g , Sun73_Q16_3h.
However, my chosen set of selected systems is the following: Sun73_Q16_2c , Sun73_Q16_2e , Sun73_Q16_2f , Sun73_Q16_3a , Sun73_Q16_3b , Sun73_Q16_3c , Sun73_Q16_3d , Sun73_Q16_3e , Sun73_Q16_3f , Sun73_Q16_3g , Sun73_Q16_3h , Sun73_Q16_3i , Sun73_Q16_3j , Sun73_Q16_4d , Sun73_Q16_4f.
All systems above were submitted before the Q16 deadline. Since there is an issue with the auto/manual selection, could you please select the 15 systems above for the Q16 contest? Many thanks once again!

Systems selection for the Q16 contest
Hi there,
The set of 15 selected systems displayed on page: https://quantiacs.com/personalpage/submissions/tab_in_contest
or on page: https://quantiacs.com/leaderboard
is not the same that I have selected (before October 31, 2021) on page: https://quantiacs.com/personalpage/submissions/tab_candidates
to be my final set of systems to compete on the Q16 contest (for example: Sun73_Q16_4f).Also, there are systems not listed anymore on the latter page (such as: Sun73_Q16_3a) which I have previously selected to compete on Q16.
Could you please check this (selection) issue? Many thanks!
Kind regards,

Suggestions for the Q17 contest.
Hi there,
Since we're approaching the end of the submission phase for the Q16 contest, is it possible for us quants to already know a little bit about the upcoming competitions?
Will the Q17 contest be designed similarly to Q16? In other words, will Q17 be based only on crypto trading (or will it allow for futures trading too)? Only long-positions allowed (or short-positions too)?
I would suggest (if feasible) to put in place a new contest allowing to trade both cryptos and futures, besides trading long and short in any asset, but limiting the overall leverage of the portfolio. For example, adopting a 130/30 portfolio structure, which is a structure with a net long position, but permits leverage with long and short positions up to a maximum amount of leverage. In the case of a 130/30 portfolio, the leverage is 30%.
This broader and combined setup would allow us to design enhanced portfolios and might (potentially) increase the out-of-sample Sharpe ratios. Thank you!
Best regards,

RE: How to getting start in Quantiacs
@qida1995 Hi qida1995, please take a look at the documentation available in the Quantiacs' website (https://quantiacs.com/documentation/en/), which is very useful not only for beginners but also for experienced users. Best of luck!
