Core Alpha Research · Nº 004 · Studies HYPOTHETICAL
Why the strategy behaves the way it does.
Core Alpha Research. These are educational studies of why the Core Alpha (momentum) strategy
behaves as it does, not the deployed, tax-managed Structural Alpha book. Hypothetical
backtests, not a client account. See the current book →
Signal system, research only, not investment advice.
Backtests are walk-forward and net of modeled transaction cost. The
continuation coefficient is an unvalidated default; momentum is a
public, partly-arbitraged anomaly. Treat in-sample figures as engineering
validation, not expected returns.
