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.
