Risk & Statistics
- Annualized Volatility: The standard deviation of returns multiplied by sqrt(12), representing the risk or fluctuation of the asset.
- Sharpe Ratio: A measure of risk-adjusted return. (Return / Volatility). Higher is better.
- Daily Hit Ratio (D): The average percentage of trading days in the rolling window where the strategy (Beta-Neutral) generated a positive return.
- Rolling 12M Hit Ratio (LTM): The average percentage of 12-month periods in the rolling window where the strategy (Beta-Neutral) generated a positive cumulative return.
- Sortino Ratio: Similar to Sharpe, but only penalizes downside volatility (negative returns). A better measure for asymmetric risk.
- Max Drawdown: The maximum observed loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained.
- Factor Dispersion: The standard deviation of the rank scores of all ESB factors for a given stock on a given day. High dispersion means the factors disagree (some bullish, some bearish).

Paid Access Is Not Advisory Compensation
Any subscription, license, trial-conversion, or other access fee is solely for access to quantitative research, data, analytics, software, and related services. Such fees are not charged for investment advice, portfolio management, brokerage services, trade execution, or fiduciary services.
No Professional Reliance
You are solely responsible for independently evaluating all dashboard information and for consulting your own investment, legal, tax, accounting, compliance, or other professional advisers as appropriate. QMIT does not provide professional advice tailored to your circumstances.
No Managed Account or Trading Authority
QMIT does not manage accounts, accept assets, place trades, execute transactions, provide brokerage services, exercise discretion over any account, or accept trading authority from any user. Users remain solely responsible for any investment or trading decisions they make outside the dashboard.
