Considering GAF-Trained CNNs in relation to and in combination with VecViz’s Vector Model and V-Score Our thanks to Tyler (Foster) Shelbert for his contributions to this post. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can excel at time series forecasting As a form of “Deep Learning”, CNNs can automatically extract complex, non-linear features from raw data without manual […]

2/11/2026 Strong January 2026 performance driven by P/E Ratio and EDB Return criteria If purchased at the closing price of 1/13/261, the average of the 19 tickers in our 1/12/ 2026 close-based OpenBB filter returned +5.91% through the 2/10/26 close. This compares very favorably with both the SPY, with a price return of -0.24% for the same

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

2/2/2026, 9:00am What do the 12 strategies we developed this summer and blogged about here say as we head into February 2026? Before we share that let us first note that the strategies utilize volatility constraints ranging from 10% to 20%, and ticker concentration constraints ranging from 3% to 10%. VecViz has no idea where your risk

We are always wary of the potential for decay in the performance of VecViz’s suite of machine learning-based analytics, especially since we have done zero retraining. Thus, we are somewhat surprised that 2025 was perhaps the strongest consecutive 12 months for individual metric performance.in VecViz’s nearly four year out of sample performance period, Here we

Strong December 2025 performance driven by P/E Ratio and V-Score criteria If purchased at the closing price of 12/10/25, the average of the 19 tickers in our 12/9/ 2025 close-based OpenBB filter returned 7.43% through the 1/12/26 close. This compares favorably with both the SPY, with a price return of 1.10% for the same period,

December 10, 2025 With year end approaching and debate as to whether there is an “AI bubble” all over financial media, we wanted to update the idea generation analysis we did using OpenBB’s Workspace back in August using 8/26/25 closing price based analytics (see youtube vid embedded below), and see if it generates any Mag7

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
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
