PC1 acceleration

Acceleration of factor vs. returns.

Nice algo, Pravin. First time I saw the use of principal components with that perspective. Have you thought about using more than one? The algo does not have a good performance in 2014 for example, do you have any idea why? What is your thought for further development?

@Roberto, I haven't tried using more than one PC factor. This was just an experiment and I think has to be clubbed with other signals to get meaningful results.

@Pravin , can you explain a bit about what you are doing in the algo?
