Alpha#66

Description​

Alpha#66 is an indicator from Alpha 101, a set of formulaic alphas used in investing strategies. This indicator calculates the sum of decay and ts_rank.

What does this worker do?​

This worker implements the Alpha#66 indicator, which combines two components: decay and ts_rank. The decay component calculates the exponential decay of a given price data, while the ts_rank component calculates the rank of the data over a given time period.

How to interpret the results​

The output of this worker is a value that represents the sum of the decay and ts_rank components. A higher value indicates a stronger signal, while a lower value indicates a weaker signal.

Parameters​

The following parameters are required to use this worker:

  • dataExp (float): Price data
  • vwap (float): Column with Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
  • low (float): Column with lowest prices
  • open (float): Column with opening prices
  • high (float): Column with highest prices
