Do The Virtues of Volume Extend to VecViz?

2/2/2026 Our thanks to Jessie Li for her assistance with key elements of the analysis discussed below. TL/DR: They do, despite the fact that volume is not a direct input to any VecViz model. More explicit consideration of volume leads to improvements in baseline VecViz analytic performance, particularly for the V-Score. Volume is a well-regarded […]

The Proof is in the Portfolios: Evaluating VecViz Analytic Features via Constrained Optimization and Ablation

December 2, 2025 Each month we publish a 100+ page report for each individual VecViz volatility and expected return related features so that we can readily answer any of the following common concerns about summary performance stats: Quant Feature Quant Feature Eval Criteria Common Concerns: Expected forward return 1) correlation to forward returns2) interquartile range

Breaking Good: VaR & OaR Breakage Rate Regimes

December 2, 2025 Regimes help model builders differentiate market behavior into more stationary (and hence predictable) groupings. Regimes are commonly defined in terms of levels or growth rates in macroeconomic variables and market indices. Research on regime based models dates back at least to 1989. Here we discuss a regime framework built around the thesis

Quantifying Narrative Similarity with VecEvent Correlation

December 2, 2025 Correlation measured using trailing returns is volatile and backward looking Many investors measure diversification via historic return correlation, which is itself correlated to volatility. When incorporated into portfolio risk metrics such as VaR, it can encourage selling amidst panics and buying amidst complacent booms. VecEvent based correlation is more stable and very

Price and Return Aware Correlation via VecViz Fingerprint

December 2, 2025 Correlation based on historic returns is arbitrarily calculated and ignores price context How long should the lookback window be? What periodicity of returns should be used? Such questions confront anyone using Pearson correlation of historic returns to estimate portfolio risk. Results can vary significantly depending on the choices made. What doesn’t matter

Vector Sets + AI Sourced VecEvents = a toehold for Objectivity in qualitative Investment Analysis?

Key issues confronting anyone reviewing a ticker’s merits as an investment, particularly one they are unfamiliar with: Vector Sets systematically select and frame the price history that matters most, given the most recent price. Vector Sets are the channels that VecViz systematically identifies from all combinations of tops and bottoms and then ranks according to
