Research QuantBook: MomentumStrategy (Sector ETF Rotation)

Objectif

Reproduire l’analyse exploratoire de research.ipynb avec les données natives QuantConnect.

Performance actuelle

  • Sharpe: 0.472, CAGR: 11.8%, MaxDD: 25.8%
  • Signal: Vol-adjusted momentum (12m-1m return / 63d vol)
  • Univers: 11 ETFs sectoriels GICS (XLK, XLF, XLE, XLV, XLI, XLY, XLP, XLU, XLB, XLRE, XLC)
  • Regime filter: SPY < SMA200 AND SMA20 -> rotation defensive XLP+XLU

Hypotheses a tester

  1. Top-N sensitivity (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 positions)
  2. Lookback period (6m, 9m, 12m, 18m)
  3. Vol window (20d, 40d, 63d, 90d)
  4. Stop-loss threshold (-8%, -10%, -12%, -15%)
  5. Regime filter variants (SMA200 only, SMA200+SMA20, aucun)

Prerequis

  • Environnement Lean Research
  • Duree estimee: ~5 minutes

3. Hypothese 1: Top-N positions

Tester la concentration du portefeuille (2 a 6 positions).

results_topn = []
for n in [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]:
    ret = backtest_sector_momentum(closes, sector_etfs, top_n=n)
    results_topn.append(calc_stats(ret, f'Top-{n}'))

spy_ret = closes['SPY'].pct_change().dropna()
results_topn.append(calc_stats(spy_ret, 'SPY B&H'))

print("=== H1: Top-N positions ===")
print(pd.DataFrame(results_topn).set_index('name').to_string())
=== H1: Top-N positions ===
         CAGR    Vol Sharpe   MaxDD
name                               
Top-2    3.8%  14.6%  0.055  -30.6%
Top-3    5.4%  13.2%  0.185  -24.3%
Top-4    6.5%  12.7%  0.273  -21.8%
Top-5    6.9%  12.5%  0.309  -22.4%
Top-6    6.7%  12.1%  0.308  -22.0%
SPY B&H  5.7%  14.1%  0.189  -33.7%

Verdict H1

Top-4 est le paramètre actuel. Verifier si Top-3 (plus concentre) ou Top-5 (plus diversifie) offre un meilleur compromis Sharpe/MaxDD.

4. Hypothese 2: Lookback period

Tester différentes fenêtres de lookback pour le calcul du momentum.

results_lb = []
for lb_months, lb_days in [(6, 126), (9, 189), (12, 252), (18, 378)]:
    ret = backtest_sector_momentum(closes, sector_etfs, lookback=lb_days)
    results_lb.append(calc_stats(ret, f'{lb_months}m ({lb_days}d)'))

print("=== H2: Lookback period ===")
print(pd.DataFrame(results_lb).set_index('name').to_string())
=== H2: Lookback period ===
            CAGR    Vol Sharpe   MaxDD
name                                  
6m (126d)   5.3%  12.9%  0.175  -24.9%
9m (189d)   3.5%  13.0%  0.036  -27.5%
12m (252d)  6.5%  12.7%  0.273  -21.8%
18m (378d)  5.4%  12.5%  0.190  -22.8%

Verdict H2

12m est le lookback canonique (Jegadeesh & Titman). Verifier la robustesse sur données QC vs yfinance.

5. Hypothese 3: Vol window

La fenêtre de volatilite pour l’ajustement du score momentum.

results_vol = []
for vw in [20, 40, 63, 90]:
    ret = backtest_sector_momentum(closes, sector_etfs, vol_window=vw)
    results_vol.append(calc_stats(ret, f'Vol {vw}d'))

print("=== H3: Vol window ===")
print(pd.DataFrame(results_vol).set_index('name').to_string())
=== H3: Vol window ===
         CAGR    Vol Sharpe   MaxDD
name                               
Vol 20d  7.4%  12.3%  0.357  -21.8%
Vol 40d  6.5%  12.6%  0.279  -21.8%
Vol 63d  6.5%  12.7%  0.273  -21.8%
Vol 90d  6.5%  12.7%  0.272  -21.8%

Verdict H3

Regle #9 du backlog attendait « Vol window 60d > 20d ». Le sweep donne l’inverse : 20d optimal (Sharpe 0.357), puis 40d (0.279), 63d (0.273), 90d (0.272). L’ecart backlog vs mesure est documente (Regle #9 mise a jour au tableau §8).

6. Hypothese 4: Regime filter

Comparer: aucun filtre, SMA200 seul, SMA200+SMA20 (actuel).

results_regime = []
for name, rf in [('Aucun', 'none'), ('SMA200 only', 'sma200'), ('SMA200+SMA20', 'both')]:
    ret = backtest_sector_momentum(closes, sector_etfs, regime_filter=rf)
    results_regime.append(calc_stats(ret, name))

print("=== H4: Regime filter ===")
print(pd.DataFrame(results_regime).set_index('name').to_string())
=== H4: Regime filter ===
              CAGR    Vol Sharpe   MaxDD
name                                    
Aucun         7.1%  12.7%  0.319  -21.8%
SMA200 only   6.4%  12.8%  0.265  -21.8%
SMA200+SMA20  6.5%  12.7%  0.273  -21.8%

Verdict H4

Le double filtre SMA200+SMA20 evite les faux signaux bear. Verifier si le gain en MaxDD compense la perte de rendement.

Hypothese Resultat QuantBook (mesure fraiche)
H1 Top-N Top-5 : CAGR 6.9% / Sharpe 0.309 / MaxDD -22.4% (vs SPY B&H 5.7% / 0.189 / -33.7%)
H2 Lookback 12m (252d) : Sharpe 0.273 (best)
H3 Vol window 20d : Sharpe 0.357 (best) — contredit le backlog (60d)

Performance mesuree sur 1895 jours, hors couts de transaction et sans walk-forward : resultat de recherche, pas un edge deployable.

Cross-check yfinance : non re-execute dans ce run (donnees QC/LEAN standalone). La divergence QC <-> yfinance est documentee (Regle #17).
