Our most recent challenge asks community members to predict the economic impacts of COVID-19 by creating infographics. This challenge differs from past challenges in what it’s asking our community members to create and submit. We have therefore made this video to help get people started. This video gives an overview of the COVID-19 infographics challenge and walks through challenge rules, acceptable submissions, and the prize system. We also show an example notebook to help give you ideas on how to structure your hypotheses, use datasets, and format your infographics. We are very interested in seeing the ideas you guys come up with and are looking forward to your submissions.

This webinar will give an overview of the paper, “Uncovering Momentum” conducted using the Quantopian research platform. The corresponding study explores the momentum strategy following a systematic divide-and-conquer approach composed from a sequence of four steps: 1. dissecting the momentum performance along bull/bear states and winners/losers deciles; 2. identifying the unscaled momentum decile as a basic common block across strategies; 3. rolling the combined in- and out-of-sample analysis; 4. and clustering momentum decile time series. All steps are associated with different subjects of the momentum research domain and subsequently, generate a sequence of four outcomes. For example, combining the in- and out-of-sample momentum decile analysis prompts a more asymmetrical version of the momentum definition. Furthermore, the paper proposes to extend the scope of cross-section return studies with the analysis of temporal patterns by applying time-series clustering. These steps with associated approaches represent self-contained and complementary topics that are intertwined and illustrated by Quantopian notebooks.

A trading strategy is impacted by more than just changes in stock prices. Dividends and corporate actions will also affect the securities that your strategy invests in. So, it is good to consider such actions and the impact that they have over the companies in your trading universe when conducting research to develop your strategy. This video is the third and last part of the“Corporate Actions and Price Adjustments” series. It covers price adjustments that occur for the different types of corporate actions. This video expands on different types of corporate actions and how they are dealt with on Quantopian covered in the first two videos. To learn more about Quantopian, visit www.quantopian.com.
