What the library does

Research outputs, not a backtest toy.

Every series is generated by the project’s R research pipeline. The browser filters completed outputs; it does not estimate a new portfolio. Missing portfolio months remain missing rather than becoming zero returns.

Important distinction

Exact costs versus a comparison proxy.

Beginner-mode net returns use stock-level portfolio spreads and turnover. Advanced-mode net returns use a common same-month spread proxy so methods can be compared consistently. The interface labels both sources.

Use with care

Evidence, not investment advice.

Results do not include market impact, short-borrow fees, taxes, or capacity. Download the series and inspect the long and short legs before drawing an implementation conclusion.
