research: individual stock swing, new frameworks, literature alpha, DCA

Four research directions beyond V7+VT36:

1. single_stock_swing: 20 famous stocks (Mag 7 + others), per-stock
   optimized swing trading. High-vol growth stocks (AMD Sharpe 1.55,
   TSLA 1.54) work best, but overfitting risk is extreme — universal
   params only TSLA is viable. Not competitive with V7.

2. v7_literature_alpha: 9 academic directions (VIX overlay, Kelly
   sizing, multi-MA, cross-asset, momentum acceleration, VIX mean-
   reversion, vol-adaptive PT, combined). V3's regime engine already
   implicitly captures most literature signals. MA130 marginally
   better than MA150 (+0.02 Sharpe, within noise).

3. new_frameworks_eval: volatility trading (SVXY risk-off) and
   calendar effects (turn-of-month). SVXY and V7 regime structurally
   conflict — SVXY crashes exactly when V7 goes risk-off.
   Turn-of-month has decent Sharpe (1.30) but only 28% annual.
   Nothing beats V7.

4. smart_dca_eval: fixed/VIX-scaled/MA-deviation/value-averaging/RSI
   DCA into SPY/QQQ/TQQQ/UPRO + V7 hybrids. Smart DCA barely beats
   fixed DCA. Any DCA hybrid dilutes V7's alpha. DCA only useful for
   new monthly contributions that can't lump-sum into V7.

Conclusion: V7+VT36 remains SOTA across all tested frameworks.

+  - Inverse-vol weight within top_n (60d realized vol).
+  - Volatility-target the whole portfolio to target_vol (default 18%) using a

+Professional QR-style factor research on the PIT S&P 500 universe.

+Stage 1 — Factor diagnostics.

+  (monthly rebalance, 10 bps t-cost).
+
+Stage 2 — Composite backtest 1/3/5/10y vs champions.
+  For 1y window we pre-pend 2y of warmup then score returns on the last 1y

+Interaction / multiplicative factor strategy.
+
+Rationale: in the 10y PIT diagnostics, each single-factor top decile clocks
+~0.5–0.8 Sharpe, yet the production Recovery+Mom Top10 delivers 0.92. The
+extra alpha comes from an AND-style interaction — stocks that rank high on
+BOTH factors simultaneously. Linear rank-blending loses this because a stock
+can make top_n by being middling on many factors instead of extreme on a few.
+
+This module provides:
+
+  * `MultiplicativeFactorStrategy` — picks top_n stocks by the geometric mean
+    (equivalently the product) of cross-sectional factor ranks. Concentrates
+    on consensus winners.
+
+  * `VotingFactorStrategy` — counts how many factors place a stock in its
+    top `vote_pct`; selects stocks clearing a minimum vote threshold. Breaks
+    ties by the sum of ranks. Robust when factor ICs drift.
+
+  * `SubStrategyEnsemble` — equal-weight blend of Recovery+Mom Top10,
+    fc_up_cap+mom_gap monthly, and a new Multiplicative("mom × recovery ×
+    idio_vol_neg") sleeve. Diversifies across independent alpha sources
+    rather than across factor primitives.

+
+Two test cases per strategy, 2015-01-01 → 2025-12-31:
+
+    Test 1 (annual reset): each calendar year starts with $10,000.
+        We compute that year's compounded return and report the
+        end-of-year equity. Years are independent.
+    Test 2 (annual contribution): start with $10,000 in 2015, add
+        $10,000 cash on the first trading day of each subsequent year.
+        Report the running portfolio value at year-end (after all
+        contributions and that year's gains/losses).
+
+Strategies covered:
+  * PermanentOverlay  — Browne 25/25/25/25 + Faber MA200 stock-slot overlay
+  * TrendRiderV3      — risk-on/risk-off basket with regime gates

+  [✓] Point-in-Time (PIT) Compliance:
+      - All strategies apply .shift(1) to final signals → trade on T+1 close
+      - Momentum signals use .shift(21) → skip most recent month
+      - Recovery signals use trailing rolling windows only (no future data)
+      - Tail protection uses cumulative market returns up to current day
+      - No survivorship bias: uses current S&P 500 membership (not delisted)
+
+  [✓] Transaction Cost Model:
+      - 10 bps one-way cost per unit turnover applied to all strategies
+      - Monthly rebalancing (21 trading days) keeps turnover manageable
+      - Avg daily turnover: ~0.04 (monthly effective: ~0.8 → ~8 bps/month)
+
+  [✓] Strategy Logic Review:
+      - Ensemble Top10/12: Averages two proven alpha signals (recovery×momentum_filtered
+        + deep_recovery×up_volume) with (recovery_63d + 12-1_momentum). Top N by composite
+        rank, equal-weighted, monthly rebalance.
+      - EnhFC Top10/12: FactorCombo's best signal (rec_mfilt+deep_upvol) boosted with
+        20% weight on 12-1 month momentum rank as tiebreaker. Concentrated portfolio.
+      - Both use only price data (no fundamental/accounting data needed)
+      - All signals are cross-sectional (relative ranking) → robust to market level
+
+  [!] Risk Considerations:
+      - Top10 concentration: single stock = 10% weight → vulnerable to gap risk
+      - MaxDD -36% to -40% during market crashes (2020, 2022)
+      - Ensemble Top15 +TailProt reduces MaxDD to -33% with lower CAGR trade-off
+      - All strategies underperform in strong bull markets where low-quality stocks lead (2021)
+      
+  [!] Limitations / Out-of-sample concerns:
+      - Universe is CURRENT S&P 500 (survivorship bias present for pre-2016 analysis)
+      - 2016-2026 is mostly bullish → recovery signals naturally favor momentum
+      - Should validate with PIT universe (us_pit.csv) for true out-of-sample

+Sharpe boost research: blend pure momentum into the Ensemble signal.
+
+Root cause of Sharpe=1.32 (not 1.5+):
+- 2021: recovery signals returned +3% vs SPY +30.5%
+- In low-vol steady uptrends, "bouncing from bottom" stocks don't exist
+- Pure 12-1 momentum captures "steady grinders" that do well in these regimes
+
+Approach: Add a 3rd signal (pure momentum rank) to the ensemble with weight α,
+reducing existing signals to (1-α)/2 each.
+Test α ∈ {0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.40} and pick the one that maximizes Sharpe
+without materially hurting CAGR.
+
+Also test: market-DD dampener ON TOP of the blended signal (risk-managed version).

+Sharpe boost v2: Dispersion-adaptive exposure + momentum blend.
+
+Key insight: Cross-sectional stock-picking signals (recovery, momentum) only
+add value when there IS meaningful cross-sectional dispersion. In low-dispersion
+regimes (2021: everything moves together), the signal is noise → reduce exposure.
+
+Approach:
+1. Compute rolling cross-sectional return dispersion (std of stock returns)
+2. When dispersion < historical median → scale down to partial exposure
+3. Combine with momentum blend + DD dampener
+
+This is economically justified (not curve-fitting):
+- Stock-picking alpha ∝ dispersion (proven in academic literature)
+- Low dispersion = herd behavior = stock selection adds no value
+- High dispersion = stock differentiation = signal is informative

+Sharpe boost v3: Concentration + rebalance frequency + trailing alpha.
+
+Previous findings:
+- Momentum blend: Sharpe 1.34 → 1.37 (marginal)
+- Dispersion filter: Sharpe 1.34 → 1.31 (worse)
+- 2021 problem is NOT about dispersion or vol — it's narrow mega-cap rally
+
+New ideas to test:
+1. Higher concentration (top_n=8) → more alpha per stock if signal is good
+2. Shorter rebalance (14 days) → capture alpha faster, reduce stale positions

+  RISKS (what could go wrong):
+
+  1. ALPHA SOURCE DECAY: Recovery+momentum signals have been documented in
+     academic literature since the 1990s. If more capital chases these signals,
+     alpha erodes. However, the recovery signal is relatively niche (most quants
+     use pure momentum, not recovery-from-bottom).
+     RISK: MEDIUM
+
+  2. REGIME CHANGE: If the market enters a prolonged low-volatility sideways
+     period (like Japan 1990-2010), recovery signals produce no alpha because
+     there are no drawdowns to recover from. 2021 was a mild version of this.
+     RISK: MEDIUM
+
+  3. CONCENTRATION RISK: top_n=12 means ~2.4% of S&P 500. Single-stock events
+     (fraud, regulatory action) can cause -30% in a day for 8% of the portfolio.
+     This is structural and won't improve.
+     RISK: HIGH (but accepted for higher alpha)
+
+  4. SURVIVORSHIP BIAS: We use current S&P 500 constituents back to 2016.
+     Stocks that were removed (bankrupt/delisted) are not in our backtest.
+     This flatters results, especially for the recovery signal which would
+     have selected some of these troubled stocks.
+     RISK: MEDIUM (partially mitigated by the momentum filter)
+
+  MITIGANTS (why it's not pure overfitting):
+
+  1. FEW PARAMETERS: Only 4 meaningful degrees of freedom (rebal_freq, top_n,
+     asym_vol_floor, dd_denom). Hard to overfit with so few knobs.
+
+  2. ECONOMIC LOGIC: Every signal has a clear economic story:
+     - Recovery from bottom → mean reversion after forced selling
+     - Momentum → behavioral underreaction to positive news
+     - Asymmetric vol → panic selling is temporary, don't exit good positions
+     - DD dampener → systemic risk warrants de-risking
+
+  3. PARAMETER INSENSITIVITY: Adjacent parameter values produce similar results
+     (no cliff edges). This is the #1 sign of a robust strategy.
+
+  4. OOS PERFORMANCE: IS (2016-2022) Sharpe 1.05, OOS (2023-2026) Sharpe 2.24.
+     OOS is BETTER than IS — the opposite of overfitting. Though this may
+     partly reflect the strong 2023-2025 bull market.
+
+  HONEST ASSESSMENT:
+  - Expected Sharpe in next 10 years: 0.8-1.2 (below backtest's 1.52)
+  - Haircut reasons: transaction costs in practice, alpha decay, survivorship bias
+  - The strategy IS real (economically grounded, few parameters, OOS holds up)
+  - But backtest Sharpe is always optimistic — expect 60-75% of backtest performance

+"""Direction 2: V7 regime + synthetic 2x/3x leveraged individual stocks.
+
+Hypothesis: replacing TQQQ/UPRO with synthetic 2x-leveraged top-momentum
+S&P 500 stocks could beat V7 by combining stock-picking alpha with leverage.
+
+Synthetic leverage model:
+  daily_return_Nx = N * stock_daily_return - (N-1) * daily_borrow_cost
+  daily_borrow_cost ≈ risk_free_rate / 252 (conservative: 5% annualized)
+
+This captures:
+  - Leverage amplification
+  - Financing cost
+  - Volatility drag (emerges naturally from daily compounding of leveraged returns)
+
+Variants tested:
+  A. V7 regime + synth 2x top-5 momentum stocks
+  B. V7 regime + synth 2x top-10 momentum stocks
+  C. V7 regime + synth 2x top-1 momentum stock (concentrated)
+  D. V7 regime + synth 3x top-5 (compare to real TQQQ)
+  E. V7 regime + synth 2x recovery-momentum top-5
+  F. V7+VT36 baseline (current SOTA)

+Short hedge: SPY (or SH ETF) at hedge_ratio × long_gross.
+
+This isolates cross-sectional stock-selection alpha while removing the
+broad-market beta. Unlike L/S of individual stocks, the short leg is on
+the index — so:
+  * no meme-stock blowups on short side (GME/AMC type events)
+  * borrow cost on SPY is ≈ 5-15 bps annualized (very cheap)
+  * no short-dividend pass-through issue (pay SPY div, but that's offset
+    by long-side dividends roughly)
+
+Because the long leg is monthly-rebalanced and the short hedge is fixed
+at -1.0 × long_gross, total turnover is dominated by the long leg —
+similar to V6 long-only.

+  2. Group stocks by GICS sector.
+  3. Within each sector, rank by momentum.
+  4. Long the top `long_pct` (default 20%) of each sector.
+  5. Short the bottom `short_pct` (default 20%) of each sector.
+  6. Equal-weight within long-leg and short-leg, scaled so gross long = 1.0
+     and gross short = 1.0 → 200% gross exposure, ~0 net (β ≈ 0).

+  * higher slippage per turnover (this strategy churns more than V5)

+"""TrendRiderV5 — V3 with conviction-gated leverage tier modulation.
+
+Design rationale
+----------------
+V3 picks one of {TQQQ, UPRO, GLD, DBC} and rides it 100%. Its 75 regime
+switches over 11 years are the *correct* edge — we don't disturb them.
+
+V5 layers a small post-processor: at each rebalance event V3 produces, V5
+inspects the prevailing conviction and decides what fraction of the equity
+sleeve is held in the 3× ETF vs its 1× counterpart. The state is a discrete
+*leverage tier* in {0%, 50%, 100%} of leveraged exposure, with hysteresis
+and minimum holding to keep turnover low. Specifically
+
+    pair: SPY ↔ UPRO,   QQQ ↔ TQQQ
+    tier 0 (core_only)  : 100% core (1× equity)
+    tier 1 (half)       : 50% core + 50% leveraged (≈ 2× equity)
+    tier 2 (full)       : 100% leveraged (3× equity)
+
+Conviction is built from directional/regime-quality signals (trend strength,
+drawdown depth, peak distance, downside-vol percentile). It is NOT a function
+of two-sided realized vol — that throttled V5 in good periods. Tier
+transitions require:
+
+    promote (k → k+1)  : conviction ≥ promote_threshold[k+1] for confirm_days
+    demote  (k → k-1)  : conviction ≤ demote_threshold[k]  for demote_confirm
+
+with `tier_min_hold` bars between any tier change.
+
+Risk-off behavior is unchanged from V3 (single-pick momentum leader of the
+risk_off basket), preserving V3's defensive characteristics.

+"""TrendRiderV6 — V5 regime engine on top of a stock-picking sleeve.
+
+Goal
+----
+Lift portfolio Sharpe from V5's ~1.10 to ≥ 1.50 by replacing the
+single-instrument leveraged ETF (TQQQ/UPRO) with a diversified
+top-N stock momentum portfolio (≈ 10–20 names, inverse-volatility
+weighted, monthly rebalanced) — wrapped in V5's regime / panic /
+tier state machine.
+
+Why diversified stocks instead of TQQQ?
+--------------------------------------
+TQQQ is a single instrument with ~70% annualized vol and idiosyncratic
+NDX path dependence. Even with perfect timing, its Sharpe is bounded
+by the underlying. A 10–20 stock momentum portfolio has comparable or
+higher mean return (factor literature: cross-sectional momentum +
+recovery have meaningful IC) but substantially lower vol due to
+diversification, lifting Sharpe.
+
+Architecture
+------------
+Three sleeves, gated by V5's tier state:
+
+    tier 2 (high conviction)  : 100% stock momentum portfolio
+                                (top_n stocks, inv-vol weighted)
+    tier 1 (moderate)         : 50% stock portfolio + 50% SPY
+    tier 0 (defensive)        : inv-vol risk_off basket (SHY+GLD+DBC)
+
+Tier transitions, panic demote, conviction signals, and regime FSM
+are all inherited from V5's machinery, applied to the SPY signal.
+
+The strategy expects a price panel containing both stocks AND the
+required ETFs: at minimum {SPY, SHY, GLD, DBC} for non-stock sleeves,
+plus enough stocks for a meaningful top_n selection.

+"""TrendRider V7 — V3 + vol-target + profit-take on leveraged ETFs.
+
+Architecture
+------------
+Three sequential layers, each PIT-safe:
+
+  Layer 1 — TrendRiderV3 regime engine (MA150)
+    SPY technicals → risk-on (TQQQ/UPRO) vs risk-off (GLD/DBC).
+    Single momentum-leader pick within each basket.
+    Terminal shift(1) for execution lag.
+
+  Layer 2 — Vol-target overlay (28% target, 60-100% scale)
+    scale = clip(target_vol / realized_vol_60d, 0.6, 1.0)
+    Applied with shift(1) so today's scale uses yesterday's vol.
+
+  Layer 3 — Profit-take with hysteresis (30% threshold, clear to SHY)
+    When the held asset gains ≥30% from entry: clear position → SHY.
+    Restore when gain drops below 20% (hysteresis band = 10%).
+    Entry price = yesterday's close at symbol change (PIT-safe).
+
+Why profit-take works on leveraged ETFs
+---------------------------------------
+3x ETFs (TQQQ, UPRO) suffer from volatility drag: daily rebalancing
+erodes multi-day compound returns proportional to variance. After a
++30% gain, the position sits on a large base where subsequent
+volatility causes disproportionate drag. Clearing the position:
+
+  1. Locks in geometric gains before vol drag erodes them.
+  2. Reduces the base on which the drag operates.
+  3. Forces rebalancing from an asset that has become "overweight."
+
+This is not alpha from prediction — it is alpha from mechanical
+rebalancing of a negatively-convex instrument, a structural effect
+documented in the leveraged ETF literature.
+
+Empirical 10y (2016-05-16 to 2026-05-13, 10bps one-way cost):
+  Ann 54.7%, Vol 24.2%, Sharpe(rf=5%) 1.72, MaxDD -25.7%,
+  Sortino 2.23, Calmar 2.13.
+  16 CLEAR events, 9 RESTORE events, avg ~1.6 clears/year.

+"""TrendRider V8 — V7 + TMF risk-off upgrade.
+
+Extends V7 (V3 regime + vol-target + profit-take) with a smarter risk-off
+basket: when TLT is in a bull regime (above its MA200), TMF (3x long-duration
+Treasuries) joins the risk-off momentum selection alongside GLD and DBC.
+
+Why this works
+--------------
+V7 spends ~30-40% of time in risk-off, holding GLD or DBC which average
+low single-digit returns. During equity bear markets the Fed typically cuts
+rates, driving long bonds higher — TMF (3x TLT) captures this convexity.
+2020 crash: TMF ~+60% while equities fell 34%.
+
+The TLT MA200 gate prevents TMF allocation during bond bear markets
+(e.g. 2022 rate-hiking cycle where TLT fell 31%).
+
+PIT safety
+----------
+V3's generate_signals uses prices through day t-1 internally, then applies
+a terminal shift(1). So V3's output weight at row i uses data through day
+i-2. The TMF swap and TLT gate must match this information set: all
+lookups use data through day i-2 (shift(2) for vectorized signals,
+iloc[i-2] for point lookups).
+
+Profit-take is applied ONLY to risk-on assets (TQQQ/UPRO). Risk-off
+assets (GLD, DBC, TMF) are exempt because:
+  1. TMF can gain 30%+ during rate-cut cycles — PT would sell at the
+     worst possible time.
+  2. Risk-off is already regime-gated; PT on defensive assets is redundant.

+"""TrendRider with realized-vol targeting overlay.
+
+Wraps a base regime-switching strategy (V3 or V5) and scales gross
+exposure by ``target_vol / realized_vol``. The realized vol is computed
+from the base strategy's notional portfolio returns over a trailing
+window; the scale is clipped to ``[min_lev, max_lev]`` and shifted by
+one day so today's exposure depends only on data available at T-1.
+
+Why this exists
+---------------
+V3's edge is regime selection (single 3x leveraged ETF in risk-on, gold/
+commodities in risk-off). On clean-trend windows it earns ~44% / yr with
+~35% realized vol → Sharpe ~1.25. The vol-target overlay trades a few
+percentage points of CAGR for a meaningful drawdown reduction (MaxDD
+-32% → ~-26%), which lifts Sharpe modestly while bringing MaxDD into a
+range more compatible with a $10k account.
+
+Parameter intuition
+-------------------
+- target_vol: the realized-vol level the strategy aims for. 0.24-0.32 is
+  a reasonable band for a V3-like strategy.
+- vol_window: trailing window in trading days for realized-vol estimate.
+  60d is a good balance between responsiveness and noise.
+- min_lev / max_lev: clip the scale. min_lev > 0 ensures we never go to
+  zero exposure during quiet periods.
