Question

Does a forecast survive a portfolio?

A price forecast only matters if it changes a decision. The project asked whether deep learning predictions hold up once they drive a portfolio.

What we did

Predict, then rebalance monthly.

Using the full A-share database, we implemented deep learning models to predict prices, and ran a backtest of a strategy that adjusts the portfolio monthly according to the predictions.

Forecasts and decisions.

My later independent Kronos evaluation also asks how forecasts translate into portfolio decisions; it uses a separate model and study design.
