Here is a typical example of Qlib data workflow
- Users download data and converting data into Qlib format(with filename suffix `.bin`). In this step, typically only some basic data are stored on disk(such as OHLCV).
- Creating some basic features based on Qlib's expression Engine(e.g. "Ref($close, 60) / $close", the return of last 60 trading days). Supported operators in the expression engine can be found `here <https://github.com/microsoft/qlib/blob/main/qlib/data/ops.py>`_. This step is typically implemented in Qlib's `Data Loader <https://qlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/component/data.html#data-loader>`_ which is a component of `Data Handler <https://qlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/component/data.html#data-handler>`_ .
- If users require more complicated data processing (e.g. data normalization), `Data Handler <https://qlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/component/data.html#data-handler>`_ support user-customized processors to process data(some predefined processors can be found `here <https://github.com/microsoft/qlib/blob/main/qlib/data/dataset/processor.py>`_). The processors are different from operators in expression engine. It is designed for some complicated data processing methods which is hard to supported in operators in expression engine.
- At last, `Dataset <https://qlib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/component/data.html#dataset>`_ is responsible to prepare model-specific dataset from the processed data of Data Handler
