SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Browse and bench prebuilt cross-sectional alpha libraries (Kakushadze 101, GTJA 191, Qlib 158, Fama-French / Carhart) and quickly access metadata or run benchmarks over a chosen universe.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Browse the alpha zoo inventory with actions like list_alphas and get_alpha.
  • Benchmark alphas across a universe (IC/IR reports) using alpha_bench.
  • Check registry health and status with health action.

Quick Start

List all alphas in the zoo and then run a bench on a chosen universe.

FAQPage Schema
How do I benchmark cross-sectional alphas over a specific universe?

To benchmark cross-sectional alphas, use the alpha_bench action to evaluate your chosen universe and generate aggregated IC and IR results for the selected factors.

What prebuilt alpha libraries are available for factor research?

Available prebuilt alpha libraries include Kakushadze 101, GTJA 191, Qlib 158, and Fama-French / Carhart, which you can browse using the list_alphas action.

How can I retrieve metadata for a specific alpha factor?

You can retrieve metadata for a specific alpha factor by using the get_alpha action, which pulls detailed information directly from the alpha_zoo registry.

Does this tool require external dependencies to check registry status?

No external dependencies are required to check registry status; you can use the health action to directly verify the alpha_zoo registry condition and operational status.

What is the best way to browse a large inventory of prebuilt alphas?

The best way to browse a large inventory of prebuilt alphas is the list_alphas action, which queries the alpha_zoo registry to display all available cross-sectional factors.
