a parameter, and be sure that the constraints will still be satisfied. That's not generally true if you start modifying a heuristic algorithm - changing one component normally requires changes elsewhere as well.
That's all very vague so let me give an example. You have a vector of signal values "s". Set target positions to be proportional to (s - mean(s)) / sum(abs(s - mean(s))) This has zero net exposure and constant gross book size.
You then apply some buffering to it, as described in this earlier thread, to determined what trades you should do. This is the heuristic solution. Note that after the buffering it no long has zero net exposure.https://twitter.com/macrocephalopod/status/1373216917058682881?s=20 …
The quadratic optimization problem that gives this result has a linear term proportional to "s - mean(s)", a diagonal covariance matrix, a risk aversion which is proportional to sum(abs(s - mean(s))) and a simple linear cost term proportional to abs(x - x0)
The simplest enhancement is to add a zero net exposure constraint, or a quadratic penalty on the total net exposure. That gets you all the benefit of trade buffering but also maintains close to zero net exposure - an instant win.
Another direction of research could look at varying the risk aversion parameter while introducing a maximum book size constraint. That will put more weight into the highest conviction positions, while zeroing out the low conviction positions.
Or you could make the linear term proportional to volatility and the quadratic term proportional to volatility^2 and get an optimizer which scales the book up and down in response to current volatility conditions (and keeps the benefit of trade buffering and zero net exposure)
There are ~unlimited ways to tweak the portfolio optimizer, each of which allows you to control one aspect of the portfolio construction and let the optimizer control the others. So have fun, and don't be scared of optimization.
this is cross sectional yes?
yes — directional harder but definitely possible
