Quantitative Factors and Models Summary Quantitative Factors and Construction Process - **Factor Name**: Intraday Skewness Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor captures the skewness of intraday stock returns, reflecting the asymmetry in return distribution[13][16][18] **Construction Process**: The factor is calculated based on the third moment of intraday return distribution, normalized by the cube of standard deviation. The detailed methodology is referenced in the report "Stock Selection Factor Series Research (19) - High-Frequency Factors on Stock Return Distribution Characteristics"[13][16][18] - **Factor Name**: Downside Volatility Proportion Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor measures the proportion of downside volatility in the total realized volatility of a stock[18][19][20] **Construction Process**: The factor is derived by decomposing realized volatility into upside and downside components. The methodology is detailed in the report "Stock Selection Factor Series Research (25) - High-Frequency Factors on Realized Volatility Decomposition"[18][19][20] - **Factor Name**: Post-Open Buying Intention Proportion Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor quantifies the proportion of buying intention in the early trading period after market open[22][23][24] **Construction Process**: The factor is constructed using high-frequency data to identify and aggregate buying signals in the post-open period. The methodology is detailed in the report "Stock Selection Factor Series Research (64) - Low-Frequency Applications of High-Frequency Data Based on Intuitive Logic and Machine Learning"[22][23][24] - **Factor Name**: Post-Open Buying Intensity Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor measures the intensity of buying activity in the early trading period after market open[27][28][29] **Construction Process**: Similar to the proportion factor, this factor aggregates the magnitude of buying signals during the post-open period, normalized by trading volume[27][28][29] - **Factor Name**: Post-Open Large Order Net Buying Proportion Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor captures the proportion of large order net buying in the early trading period after market open[32][34][35] **Construction Process**: The factor is calculated by summing the net buying of large orders during the post-open period and dividing by total trading volume[32][34][35] - **Factor Name**: Post-Open Large Order Net Buying Intensity Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor measures the intensity of large order net buying in the early trading period after market open[37][39][40] **Construction Process**: The factor aggregates the net buying of large orders during the post-open period, normalized by the total number of large orders[37][39][40] - **Factor Name**: Improved Reversal Factor **Construction Idea**: This factor captures the reversal effect in stock returns, adjusted for high-frequency data characteristics[40][43][44] **Construction Process**: The factor is constructed by identifying stocks with extreme short-term returns and measuring their subsequent reversal performance[40][43][44] - **Factor Name**: Deep Learning Factor (Improved GRU(50,2)+NN(10)) **Construction Idea**: This factor leverages a deep learning model combining GRU and neural networks to predict stock returns[63][65][66] **Construction Process**: The model uses 50 GRU units and 10 neural network layers, trained on historical high-frequency data to predict short-term stock returns[63][65][66] - **Factor Name**: Deep Learning Factor (Residual Attention LSTM(48,2)+NN(10)) **Construction Idea**: This factor employs an LSTM model with residual attention mechanisms to enhance prediction accuracy[65][66][68] **Construction Process**: The model uses 48 LSTM units and 10 neural network layers, incorporating residual connections to capture long-term dependencies in high-frequency data[65][66][68] - **Factor Name**: Multi-Granularity Model Factor (5-Day Label) **Construction Idea**: This factor predicts stock returns over a 5-day horizon using a multi-granularity deep learning model[68][69][70] **Construction Process**: The model is trained using bidirectional AGRU (Attention-Gated Recurrent Unit) to capture multi-scale temporal patterns in stock data[68][69][70] - **Factor Name**: Multi-Granularity Model Factor (10-Day Label) **Construction Idea**: Similar to the 5-day label factor, this factor predicts stock returns over a 10-day horizon[69][70][71] **Construction Process**: The model uses the same AGRU architecture as the 5-day label factor but is trained with a 10-day prediction horizon[69][70][71] Factor Backtesting Results -
