- Adding new `AlgorithmSettings` Min and Max absolute portfolio target
percentage
- Adding new `PortfolioConstructionModel.FilterInvalidInsightMagnitude()`
helper method that will be used by the `BlackLitterman` and
`MeanVariance` optiomization portfolio construction models to skip
insights with extreme magnitudes that will cause exceptions
- `PortfolioTarget.Percentage()` will now verify requested percent is
withing the settings values
- Adding new `InsightWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel` that will
generate percent `Targets` based on the latest active `Insight` `Weight` per
`Symbol`.
- Will ignore `Insights` that have no `Weight`.
- If the sum of all the last active `Insight` per `Symbol` is bigger than 1, it
will factor down each target percent holdings proportionally so the sum is 1.
- Adding unit tests
- Adding a new regression test framework algorithm
- Note most of the code, including tests, are reused from the
`EqualWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel`
- Removing `using QCAlgorithmFramework = QuantConnect.Algorithm.QCAlgorithm`
- Removing `QCAlgorithmFrameworkBridge`
- Removing `IsFrameworkAlgorithm`
- Making `EmitInsightBasedOnFill` private. Adding new
`IOrderEventProvider` exposing an `event` to which `QCAlgorithm` will
subscribe.
- `AccountType.Cash` algorithms will be allowed to manually trade and
emight insights manually or with alpha model.
`RsiAlphaModel` and `BlackLittermanOptimizationPortfolioConstructionModel` didn't have a key check after a history request. If a history request retuns no data for a given symbol, trying to access the pandas dataframe results in a `KeyError`.

1. Apply the pattern used in `EqualWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel`
2. Change the logic to compute the views from the insights.
3. Change the logis to compute the posterior mean and covariance
Use `UnconstrainedMeanVariancePortfolioOptimizer` in `BlackLittermanPortfolioOptimizationFrameworkAlgorithm` to bypass the difference in regression tests with `IPortfolioOptimizer` that rely on different algorithms in C# and python.
Adds unit tests for BLOPCV to test the implementation against Black and Litterman 1999 paper.
Add a multi-dimensional array of double representing the covariance. Some models, e.g., Black-Litterman may want to optimize a covariance that is different from the historical one.
Adds UnconstrainedMeanVariancePortfolioOptimizer: a simple optimizer that has a solution, therefore no numerical optimization method is required.
- When there are or aren'tt new insights, the EqualWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel will creates a target to flatten delisted securities from the universe of expired insights.
- Helper methods were added to deal with removing expired insights and getting active ones and used in `EqualWeightingPortfolioConstructionModel`
- Adds unit test
- Updates framework algorithms
The allocation should be calculated for symbols which last insights are not `InsightDirection.Flat`. For example, if the last insight of SPY and of IBM are Up, and of AIG is flat, then 50% of equity should be allocated in SPY, 50% in IBM and 0% in AIG. Before this fix, we would have 33% SPY, 33%, IBM and 0% AIG.
- Changes `ExpectedStatistics` in MVOFA
- All regression tests now
- Removes unnecessary constructor arguments in `ReturnsSymbolData`
- Tide up code and add method summaries.
- Creates `MinimumVariancePortfolioOptimizer` and `MaximumSharpeRatioPortfolioOptimizer` portfolio optimizer. They implement `Optimize` method that returns a array of float representing the portfolio weights.
- Refactors `BlackLittermanOptimizationPortfolioConstructionModel` and `MeanVarianceOptimizationPortfolioConstructionModel` to use the portfolio optimizers. Part of the logic in BLOPC was changed to match the MVOPC one.
- Adds `BlackLittermanPortfolioOptimizationFrameworkAlgorithm` similar to `MeanVarianceOptimizationFrameworkAlgorithm` that uses BLOPC.
`EqualEeightingPortfolioConstructionModel` (C# and Python) allocates all cash to the stocks who have insights in universe.
- Fixes regression tests to reflect the model logic change
- Fixes imports in python algorithms to use python models when available
We are not using python lists instead of generator (yield) because we get better exception information in this case. The aim is to lead users to avoid using generators and/or know its limitations.
The exception in ignored because the generator isn't closed until it is being deleted (automatically in this case, when Python exits); the generator __del__ handler closes the generator, which triggers an exception of there is one.
VWAP will submit market orders while the current price is more favorable than VWAP.
STD will submit market orders while the current price is a configured number of
standard deviations away from the mean in the favorable direction.
1. `HistoricalReturnsAlphaModel`:
1. Adds lookback period for return calculation
2. Adds return-depend direction to insights
3. Refactors indicator history warm-up
2. `MeanVarianceOptimizationPortfolioConstructionModel`:
1. Adds lookback period for return calculation
2. Adds exception for null magnitude
3. Refactors indicator history warm-up
3. Other minor fixes:
1. Default target return was 2 instead of 0.02 (2%)
2. Proper removal of consolidator subscriptions
This framework algorithm alpha model is HistoricalReturnsAlphaModel and the portfolio construction model is MeanVarianceOptimizationPortfolioConstructionModel.
This examples implements an algorithm that rebalances the portfolio according to modern portfolio theory.
