Group 2 - Improvement 1 involves incorporating overall market trend analysis, which enhances the model's ability to identify macroeconomic changes, resulting in an annualized return of 9.41% and a maximum drawdown of 46.35% [2]. - Improvement 2 includes weighting factor signals, leading to an annualized return of 9.68% and a maximum drawdown of 24.47%, significantly outperforming the Wind All A Index [2]. Group 3 - The underlying logic of the factors indicates that changes in the number of limit up and down stocks can directly reflect market sentiment, while the effectiveness of chasing and low-buy strategies reveals investor behavior and emotional tendencies [3]. - The limit up proportion factor and limit down proportion factor show strong performance in predicting short-term market sentiment, while the next-day return factor for limit up stocks is less reliable as a leading indicator [3].
