πŸš€ Quick Start

Installation from PyPI

# Install from PyPI pip install quantlabs # Or using uv (recommended) uv pip install quantlabs # Verify installation quantlab --version quantlab --help

Development Setup

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/nittygritty-zzy/quantlab.git cd quantlab # Using uv (recommended) uv venv source .venv/bin/activate uv sync # Or using pip python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e .

2. Prepare Data

# Option A: Use external data (QuantMini on /Volumes/sandisk) # Data is already at: /Volumes/sandisk/quantmini-data/data/qlib/stocks_daily # Option B: Download community data wget https://github.com/chenditc/investment_data/releases/latest/download/qlib_bin.tar.gz mkdir -p ~/.qlib/qlib_data/cn_data tar -zxvf qlib_bin.tar.gz -C ~/.qlib/qlib_data/cn_data --strip-components=1

3. Run a Backtest

# Navigate to qlib examples (if using qlib_repo) cd qlib_repo/examples # Run workflow with external data uv run qrun ../../configs/lightgbm_liquid_universe.yaml

4. Visualize Results

# Update the experiment ID in visualize_results.py, then: uv run python scripts/analysis/visualize_results.py

Results will be saved to results/visualizations/backtest_visualization.png

πŸ” Next Steps

Improve Model Performance

  1. Fix Rank IC - Try ensemble models (XGBoost, TabNet, LSTM)
  2. Better features - Add momentum, volatility, cross-sectional features
  3. Risk controls - Add position limits, volatility weighting

Data Quality

  1. Validate corporate actions (splits, dividends)
  2. Check for survivorship bias
  3. Add liquidity filters (min volume, market cap)

Alternative Strategies

  1. Market-neutral long-short
  2. Factor-based weighting
  3. Multi-timeframe approaches

πŸ“ Notes

  • Data Source: External data from QuantMini (US stocks, daily, 2024-2025)
  • ML Framework: Qlib by Microsoft Research
  • Models Tested: LightGBM with Alpha158 features
  • Tracking: MLflow for experiment management

⚠️ Known Issues

  1. Unrealistic backtest returns - Investigating data quality and backtest engine
  2. Rank IC near zero - Model can predict returns but not rank stocks well
  3. High volatility - Some instruments show extreme price movements
  4. See BACKTEST_SUMMARY.md for detailed analysis
