- New `KellyCriterionManager` will be used by the
`StatisticsInsightManagerExtension` to calculate and update the
`AlphaRuntimeStatistics` with the new Kelly Criterion values, on a daily
basis.
- Adding new `IAlgorithm.AccountCurrency { get; }` that will point to the
`Portfolio.CashBook.AccountCurrency`. Setter will be added in a
following PR.
- Base `Brokerage` class will now have a `AccountCurrency { get }`
pointing to the `IAccountCurrencyProvider`. Will be used by the different
brokerages implementations.
In backtests with only a few insights (such as monthly), we end up never reaching
the warmup period and so we never chart the direction/magnitude scores.
The term 'alpha' is used to describe the entire algorithm. Therefore, 'alpha'
produces insights. From this we have things like IAlphaModel, which is the model
defining how insights are produced. We have IAlphaHandler, which defines how the
insights from a single 'alpha' (the algorithm) are managed, analyzed, and stored.
Types closer to the individual prediction level, such as InsightDirection, or
InsightScore relate directly to exactly 1 insight. The distinction between the
two became more clear as we developed the insights API, and from that effort it
was decided to harmonize alpha/insight terminology across the various QC systems.
