Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: Timing System Signal (Wind All A Moving Average Distance Model) - **Model Construction Idea**: This model uses the distance between the short-term moving average (20-day) and the long-term moving average (120-day) of the Wind All A Index to determine the market's overall trend. A positive and expanding distance indicates an upward trend[2][9]. - **Model Construction Process**: 1. Calculate the 20-day moving average (short-term) and the 120-day moving average (long-term) of the Wind All A Index. - Latest values: 20-day MA = 5658, 120-day MA = 5241[2][9]. 2. Compute the percentage difference between the two moving averages: $ \text{Distance} = \frac{\text{20-day MA} - \text{120-day MA}}{\text{120-day MA}} \times 100\% $ - Current distance = 7.96%[2][9]. 3. Interpret the signal: If the distance is greater than 3% and positive, the market is in an upward trend[2][9]. - **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively captures the market's upward momentum and provides a clear signal for maintaining high equity positions during positive trends[2][9]. 2.
