## Description

This datasets identifies potential price breakout stocks over the next 30-60 days for US Equities. This dataset provides daily predictions of upward price breakouts for over 13,000 US equities.

The accuracy is around 65% and ROC-AUC of 68%, it is one of the most accurate breakout models on the market. It is retrained on a weekly basis.

Several machine learning models are trained using the prepared dataset:

* **Calibrated Classifier**: A classification model trained on the engineered features to predict the binary target.
* **Proprietory Regressor**: A proprietory regression model is used to predict the probability of a price increase.
* **Conformal Regressor**: Used to provide calibrated confidence intervals around the predictions, offering an additional measure of uncertainty.

## Use Case

Understood. I'll focus on the use cases that would be most relevant to professional investors. Here's the refined list:

• Portfolio optimization:

* Identify potential new additions to diversified stock portfolios
* Rebalance existing holdings based on breakout predictions

• Risk management:

* Use confidence intervals and standard deviations to assess potential downside risk
* Implement more precise hedging strategies based on predicted price movements

• Sector and market analysis:

* Identify trends across industry sectors or the broader market
* Compare breakout potentials across different stock categories (e.g., large-cap vs. small-cap)

• Market timing:

* Use aggregate predictions across multiple stocks to gauge overall market sentiment
* Time entry and exit points for broader market positions
