Quantpedia in April 2024

Hello all,

Welcome again to Quantpedia’s monthly recapitulation.

Firstly, a few words about the Quantpedia Awards 2024 competition. Our submission process for the best quant/algo trading research paper of the year 2024 ended on the 30th of April. Quantpedia’s team has processed papers, and the final ten have been sent to our committee for the next stage – ranking. We will list the whole top 10 and who will get a share of the $15.000 prize pool in the second half of May. Stay tuned, and we will announce more soon …


Secondly – a new Quantpedia Pro development – the Risk Monitor Report allows our users to supervise risk in the individual components of the Model Portfolio. In the first part, the report displays the rolling 20-day volatility of individual portfolio components and their contribution to the total portfolio risk.

The volatility is not the only variable that contributes to the risk; therefore, afterward, the next chart shows the development of the rolling 3-month correlation of the individual components over time. At the end of the report, the summary table presents important metrics for individual components and for the portfolio as a whole – mean and current volatilities, contributions, mean and current correlations, and current + maximal drawdowns..


Thirdly, we would like to spread the word about the interesting product from our partner vBase, that have built a lightweight solution for making financial signal data, backtests, strategies, etc., more trustworthy and thus more valuable by making them auditory point-in-time and transparently tracking relevant metadata. We are actively researching the integration of their time-stamping into the backtested strategies.


And as usual, let’s also quickly recapitulate Quantpedia Premium development:
