We introduce NoxTrader, a sophisticated system designed for portfolio construction and
trading execution with the primary objective of achieving profitable outcomes in the stock
market, specifically aiming to generate moderate to long-term profits. The underlying
learning process of NoxTrader is rooted in the assimilation of valuable insights derived
from historical trading data, particularly focusing on time-series analysis due to the nature
of the dataset employed. In our approach, we utilize price and volume data of US stock
market for feature engineering to generate effective features, including Return Momentum,
Week Price Momentum, and Month Price Momentum. We choose the Long Short-Term
Memory (LSTM) model to capture continuous price trends and implement dynamic model
updates during the trading execution process, enabling the model to continuously adapt to
the current market trends. Notably, we have developed a comprehensive trading
backtesting system — NoxTrader, which allows us to manage portfolios based on
predictive scores and utilize custom evaluation metrics to conduct a thorough assessment
of our trading performance. Our rigorous feature engineering and careful selection of
prediction targets enable us to generate prediction data with an impressive correlation
range between 0.65 and 0.75. Finally, we monitor the dispersion of our prediction data and
perform a comparative analysis against actual market data. Through the use of filtering
techniques, we improved the initial -60% investment return to 325%
