- The IPO Universes Extension has been updated with 2 new dynamic Universes that keep symbols only during their lockup period.
- QStudio Q172 released, with new support for building rotation and reblancing type models in C# code. A Dev Blog post is being written, but see the example RSI rotation model in the PreExecute QDoc entry to get kickstarted.
- Use the new Transaction Weight Condition Building Block to prioritize trading signals in your Building Block Models.
- Released Quantacula Studio Q169, which includes 3 new indicators (UpDown, PctRank, and CRSI), numerous fixes and enhancements, and the long-anticipated S&P 500 dynamic index in QPremium!
Silly question: In C#, how can i recognize an upgap of > 5% which took place within the last 5 trading days? Thanks
This is an attempt at a double rotation model, two separate models rotating as one. Now improved and refactored by Glitch!
I'm trying out the new Historical IPOs universe in a rotation model, and get some spectacular results, but they seem to be due to some purchases at a price of $0.00 (and sales at $0.00 too!). Attached is a screenshot of some of these, where the 5th column is purchase price, and 7th is sale price.
On the one hand, this situation probably needs to be addressed in this universe. On the other hand, it's also a reason to add Filters or Constraints functionality to the Rotation models (as discussed in a previous thread https://www.quantacula.com/Forum/ForumTopic/168), so that we could eliminate penny stocks (for example) from consideration.
I'd like my model to have access to the percentage of symbols in my Universe that meet a certain threshold, essentially a breadth indicator. I can't figure out how to do this. I do see this code in the Roto model example, in the PreExecute portion:
So, I like the new C# code version of rotation model, but I'm new to C#. I've taken a stab at combining two rotation models into one, so that it rotates into the three lowest RSI(14) stocks and the three lowest RSI(2) stocks every day, with Setting for Position Sizing at 16.66% of equity instead of 33.33.
I'm trying to compare new vs old rotation models (RSI14 vs RSI14, and other models too) and I get significantly different answers. Specifically, if I compare the positions, I see familiar symbols in both backtests but not identical trades, either on getting into positions or on the exits.
A possibility is that one (or both) models is not quite properly sorting the symbols and/or selecting them as participants. Another is that indicator values aren't precisely the same. Perhaps a more rigorous testing procedure would be to log out the X symbols with lowest RSI14 each trading day (from each model) along with their RSI14 values, and compare with trades taken to look for clues about where the problem lies. I might be able to figure out how to log in such a way using the C# model in QS, but I don't believe this logging can currently be done by users for the old rotate model to compare.
The Collective2 Extension allows you to publish your model's trading signals to Collective2. The Extension introduces a new broker implementation that appears in the Quantacula Studio Signal Hub. To use the interface, you must:
- Provide your Collective2 API Key. Details on how to obtain an API Key are available here. Note: The Collective2 Extension works with a World API Key, and not a Platform API Key.
- Associate a Collective2 System ID with your Quantacula Studio model for which you wish to submit signals. You create this association by adding the text C2SystemID=XXX to your Quantacula Studio model's description text. Replace the XXX with the Collective2 System ID, which can be determined by examining the URL of your system on Collective2.
You can establish associations with any number of Collective2 Systems. Whenever an associated model generates signals, you can Place the signals in the Quantacula Studio Signal Hub to publish them on Collective2.
A colleague of mine asked me to backtest a breakout pattern after vola contraction he uses for many years.
This is the simple RSI rotation model published by Glitch. I'm leaving it as written, which makes it easier to see the way Glitch refactored things when moving to the Roto2 strategy which allows two (or more) rotation models to be combined.
The Rotation Model is one of the primary types of trading systems you can create with Quantacula. It's a model that stays 100% invested in the market, rotating in and out of a fixed number of symbols in a universe. The rotation is controlled by a weight indicator, and the model keeps the symbols with the lowest or highest weight indicator value. You can rebalance the symbols on a daily, weekly, or longer interval. While creating a Rotation Model is very simple, it lacks certain features:
IPO Universe provides Universes for Quantacula Studio that collections of IPO (Initial Public Offering) stocks. The following new Universes will be available in the Universes list:
- IPOs Last 12 months (currently 171 symbols)
- IPOs Rebalanced every 3 months (currently 19 symbols)
- Historical IPOs (currently 5,364 symbols)
It also includes two dynamic Universes that automatically keep symbols in the Universe only during their lockup period:
- Historical IPOs (during lockup period)
- Last Year's IPOs (during lockup period)
