- The report introduces the **RSI (Relative Strength Index)** as a quantitative factor.

The formula is: $ RSI = 100 - \frac{100}{1 + RS} $, where $ RS $ is the ratio of the average gain to the average loss over a 12-day period. $ RSI > 70 $ indicates an overbought market, while $ RSI < 30 $ indicates an oversold market[2] - Another quantitative factor mentioned is **Net Subscription (NETBUY)**, which measures the net inflow or outflow of funds in ETFs. The formula is: $ NETBUY(T) = NAV(T) - NAV(T-1) \times (1 + R(T)) $, where $ NAV(T) $ is the net asset value on day $ T $, $ NAV(T-1) $ is the net asset value on the previous day, and $ R(T) $ is the return on day $ T $[2] - The report also highlights **Intraday Trend Analysis**, which uses 5-minute interval transaction prices to construct intraday price trends.
