Key findings:

• US equity ETFs (SPY, QQQ) show the strongest predictability at 21-day horizon (69-72% directional accuracy, Sharpe 6-7)
• Developed market ETFs (EFA, EWU, EWJ, EWG) also show strong 21-day signals (52-69%)
• Emerging markets (EEM, EWZ) show moderate predictability at 5-21 day horizons
• Commodities (GLD, SLV, USO) and India/China (INDA, KWEB) are harder to predict — closer to 50% (random) at most horizons
• 1-day predictions are near 50% for most assets — consistent with efficient market hypothesis at short horizons

Data Provenance

• Source: Yahoo Finance (yfinance API)
• Data: OHLCV (Open/High/Low/Close/Volume), auto-adjusted
• Interval: Daily (1d)
• History: 15-30 years depending on asset (1993-2026 for SPY, 1999-2026 for QQQ)
• Caching: Parquet files in asset_data_cache/

Key Design Decisions

1. No target leakage — Target columns (Target_*) are excluded from features. Verified via feature importance check.
2. Three-way split — 70% train / 15% validation / 15% test (chronological, no overlap)
3. Walk-forward ready — Full walk-forward with purging available via --backtest flag
4. Cross-asset features — Beta and rolling correlation with SPY and GLD benchmarks
5. Nadaraya-Watson vectorized — Uses sliding_window_view for O(n) computation (vs O(n²) naive)
6. Multi-window Bollinger — 9 Bollinger Band variants per asset + squeeze + band-walk signals

Honest Assessment

• 50-55% directional accuracy at 1-day horizon is statistically meaningful (markets are efficient at short horizons)
• 55-72% at 21-day horizon for trending assets (SPY, QQQ, EFA, EWU, EWJ) represents a genuine edge
• Commodities and some emerging markets are harder to predict — closer to random
• These models provide signal, not certainty. Always use risk management (stop-losses, position sizing)
• For production: retrain monthly, use walk-forward backtesting, add sentiment/on-chain features
