Additional details about the session
1. We would be using Amibroker software, Google sheet, and Screener.in during the workshop.
2. We would be using Amibroker software for the backtesting purpose by coding in AFL. Participants can download – Amibroker 6.00 – 32bit version from the website. (Free download – https://www.amibroker.com/down… )
3. Amibroker Database – We would be using a paid database for NSE/BSE database for backtesting. There are multiple data vendors available for Amibroker. However, participants can download and import NSE Bhavcopy in Amibroker but it requires manual work. This is not a necessary step, can be done after the workshop, the idea of the workshop is to learn the process and it can be replicated later with the actual database.
Reading Material
We will be covering a basic idea about what is factor investing, returns associated with factor strategies, and drivers of factor performance, and will also touch on multifactor strategies during the workshop. So, the participants are not required to pre-read anything. However, interested participants can read this wonderful article on the story of Factor-based Investing by S&P.
