Portfolio Strategy: Portfolio Management
========================================
.. currentmodule:: qlib
Introduction
===================
``Portfolio Strategy`` is designed to adopt different portfolio strategies, which means that users can adopt different algorithms to generate investment portfolios based on the prediction scores of the ``Forecast Model``. Users can use the ``Portfolio Strategy`` in an automatic workflow by ``Workflow`` module, please refer to `Workflow: Workflow Management <workflow.html>`_.
Because the components in ``Qlib`` are designed in a loosely-coupled way, ``Portfolio Strategy`` can be used as an independent module also.
``Qlib`` provides several implemented portfolio strategies. Also, ``Qlib`` supports custom strategy, users can customize strategies according to their own requirements.
After users specifying the models(forecasting signals) and strategies, running backtest will help users to check the performance of a custom model(forecasting signals)/strategy.
Base Class & Interface
======================
BaseStrategy
------------------
Qlib provides a base class ``qlib.contrib.strategy.BaseStrategy``. All strategy classes need to inherit the base class and implement its interface.
- `get_risk_degree`
Return the proportion of your total value you will use in investment. Dynamically risk_degree will result in Market timing.
- `generate_order_list`
Return the order list.
Users can inherit `BaseStrategy` to customize their strategy class.
WeightStrategyBase
--------------------
Qlib also provides a class ``qlib.contrib.strategy.WeightStrategyBase`` that is a subclass of `BaseStrategy`.
`WeightStrategyBase` only focuses on the target positions, and automatically generates an order list based on positions. It provides the `generate_target_weight_position` interface.
- `generate_target_weight_position`
- According to the current position and trading date to generate the target position. The cash is not considered in
the output weight distribution.
- Return the target position.
.. note::
Here the `target position` means the target percentage of total assets.
`WeightStrategyBase` implements the interface `generate_order_list`, whose processions is as follows.
- Call `generate_target_weight_position` method to generate the target position.
- Generate the target amount of stocks from the target position.
- Generate the order list from the target amount
Users can inherit `WeightStrategyBase` and implement the interface `generate_target_weight_position` to customize their strategy class, which only focuses on the target positions.
Implemented Strategy
====================
Qlib provides a implemented strategy classes named `TopkDropoutStrategy`.
TopkDropoutStrategy
------------------
`TopkDropoutStrategy` is a subclass of `BaseStrategy` and implement the interface `generate_order_list` whose process is as follows.
- Adopt the ``Topk-Drop`` algorithm to calculate the target amount of each stock
.. note::
``Topk-Drop`` algorithm
- `Topk`: The number of stocks held
- `Drop`: The number of stocks sold on each trading day
Currently, the number of held stocks is `Topk`.
On each trading day, the `Drop` number of held stocks with the worst `prediction score` will be sold, and the same number of unheld stocks with the best `prediction score` will be bought.
.. image:: ../_static/img/topk_drop.png
:alt: Topk-Drop
``TopkDrop`` algorithm sells `Drop` stocks every trading day, which guarantees a fixed turnover rate.
- Generate the order list from the target amount
Usage & Example
====================
First, user can create a model to get trading signals(the variable name is ``pred_score`` in following cases).
Prediction Score
-----------------
The `prediction score` is a pandas DataFrame. Its index is <datetime(pd.Timestamp), instrument(str)> and it must
contains a `score` column.
A prediction sample is shown as follows.
.. code-block:: python
datetime instrument score
2019-01-04 SH600000 -0.505488
2019-01-04 SZ002531 -0.320391
2019-01-04 SZ000999 0.583808
2019-01-04 SZ300569 0.819628
2019-01-04 SZ001696 -0.137140
... ...
2019-04-30 SZ000996 -1.027618
2019-04-30 SH603127 0.225677
2019-04-30 SH603126 0.462443
2019-04-30 SH603133 -0.302460
2019-04-30 SZ300760 -0.126383
``Forecast Model`` module can make predictions, please refer to `Forecast Model: Model Training & Prediction <model.html>`_.
Running backtest
-----------------
- In most cases, users could backtest their portfolio management strategy with ``backtest_daily``.
.. code-block:: python
from pprint import pprint
import qlib
import pandas as pd
from qlib.utils.time import Freq
from qlib.utils import flatten_dict
from qlib.contrib.evaluate import backtest_daily
from qlib.contrib.evaluate import risk_analysis
from qlib.contrib.strategy import TopkDropoutStrategy
# init qlib
qlib.init(provider_uri=<qlib data dir>)
CSI300_BENCH = "SH000300"
STRATEGY_CONFIG = {
"topk": 50,
"n_drop": 5,
# pred_score, pd.Series
"signal": pred_score,
}
strategy_obj = TopkDropoutStrategy(**STRATEGY_CONFIG)
report_normal, positions_normal = backtest_daily(
start_time="2017-01-01", end_time="2020-08-01", strategy=strategy_obj
)
analysis = dict()
analysis["excess_return_without_cost"] = risk_analysis(
report_normal["return"] - report_normal["bench"], freq=analysis_freq
)
analysis["excess_return_with_cost"] = risk_analysis(
report_normal["return"] - report_normal["bench"] - report_normal["cost"], freq=analysis_freq
)
analysis_df = pd.concat(analysis) # type: pd.DataFrame
pprint(analysis_df)
- If users would like to control their strategies in a more detailed(e.g. users have a more advanced version of executor), user could follow this example.
