I've been taking a break from Quantopian lately but decided to post this out of curiosity to see if anyone has comments, suggestions for improvements, or can spin off some other ideas from it.
Basically I just took every relevant fundamental indicator I could and tried to incorporate them and made a sloppy attempt to shuffle the factors and quantiles to diversify the results. Leverage is not tightly controlled because I did not have the patience for the minute by minute backtest which would go on for hours and hours.
The code is very sloppy. I try to get through new ideas quickly.
The backtest is really more about scouring the fundamentals which I think is the main driving force behind the excess returns. Thoughts are welcome.
