- Model Name: 250-Day New High Distance Model; Model Construction Idea: The model tracks the distance of the latest closing price from the highest closing price in the past 250 trading days to identify stocks that are hitting new highs; Model Construction Process: The formula used is $ 250 \text{ Day New High Distance} = 1 - \frac{Closet}{ts\_max(Close, 250)} $ where Closet is the latest closing price and ts_max(Close, 250) is the maximum closing price in the past 250 trading days. If the latest closing price hits a new high, the distance is 0; if it falls back, the distance is positive, indicating the extent of the fallback[11][12][13]; Model Evaluation: This model is effective in identifying stocks that are leading the market and can be used to track market trends and hotspots[11][19] - Factor Name: Stable New High Stocks; Factor Construction Idea: The factor focuses on stocks that have not only hit new highs but also exhibit stable price paths and strong momentum; Factor Construction Process: The selection criteria include analyst attention (at least 5 buy or hold ratings in the past 3 months), relative stock strength (top 20% in market performance over the past 250 days), price stability (using metrics like the sum of absolute daily returns over the past 120 days), and trend continuation (average 250-day new high distance over the past 120 days and past 5 days). The top 50% of stocks based on these criteria are selected[26][29][30]; Factor Evaluation: This factor is designed to capture stocks with strong and stable momentum, which are less likely to experience sudden drops and more likely to continue their upward trend[26][29] Model Backtest Results - 250-Day New High Distance Model, Shanghai Composite Index: 6.43%, Shenzhen Component Index: 5.13%, CSI 300: 6.01%, CSI 500: 10.64%, CSI 1000: 9.51%, CSI 2000: 9.52%, ChiNext Index: 2.73%, STAR 50 Index: 16.40%[12][34] Factor Backtest Results - Stable New High Stocks, Number of Stocks: 14, including companies like Asia Integration, Biwin Storage, Salt Lake Shares, etc.; Sector Distribution: Most stocks are from cyclical and technology sectors, with 6 stocks each.
