factor-mining

You can backtest custom financial signals by constructing contract-compliant factor plugins and submitting them with inline source code for validation. The skill handles duplicate risk checks and returns backtest performance analysis results.

Factor mining is the process of turning factor hypotheses into validated backtests and reusable research artifacts. It validates alpha research by executing contract-driven plugins and retrieving performance diagnostics.

Yes, you require an authenticated Quandora Factor Mining connection to run factor backtesting. This credential-safe environment is necessary to submit source code, execute runs, and retrieve research artifacts.

You retrieve raw signal artifacts and performance charts through controlled artifact retrieval after the backtest completes. The system provides structured run manifests and factor cards for later quantitative analysis.

Yes, you can resume interrupted factor backtest runs during strategy development. The skill supports interrupted-run recovery to ensure your quantitative research tasks continue without losing previous progress.

Yes, factor deduplication checks existing factor-family history and public research tasks before submitting new ideas. This duplicate risk validation ensures your custom factor contributes unique alpha research value.
