For the longest time my research workflow was a terrible, I'd get an idea for a strategy, or an algo, or just a random question about a company like “what’s company x's headcount over time?” and the next 2 hours would be spent cobbling together data for a one-off script. copy/pasting functions from old projects, re-installing libraries, recreating configs, resetting up auth for APIs over and over and over. Was basically writing more imports and boilerplate than code I actually cared about. So I decided to take all the crap from these scripts and turn them into something modular and reusable in jupyter centered around the concept of answer questions and visualize ideas as fast as possible.
I made simple integrations for my [alt data provider](https://axionquant.com/) so I don’t have to remember endpoints, parameters, authentication just to pull a dataset and also get the benifit of auto complete / param hints.
Added helpers for the data sci tasks i do all the time reshaping / reframing datasets, sampling, normalization, sanitizing data, stitching multiple datasets together, finding best fits, beta / correlation calculations, all the common TA methods stuff like moving avgs, and basic modeling (linear, lstm, ar, random forrest)
Wired in some LLM helpers that make it easy to parse filings and earnings transcripts so I can quickly pull answers or structure text data.
At this point if I think of a question I can usually get to an answer really fast. Idk if anyone remebers the bond vilian from skyfall but thats who I feel like when doing this analysis lol
* Does household net worth relative to disposable income predict drawdowns?
* Do changes in mortgage rates predict sector rotations in equities?
* Do credit card delinquencies lead or lag retail stocks?
* Are gasoline prices predictive of short-term stock performance? If so, which sectors?
* When central banks begin QT which stocks get hit first?
* When housing prices diverged between the US and Canada, which markets if any started to over/under perform?
* When EU PMI diverges from US PMI which region’s equities mean revert?
The workflow is question > data > model > visualize > repeat. And the loop is fast/low friction so it makes exploring ideas exciting & fun instead of feeling like work.
Anyway essay over just wanted to share this somewhere. If you're doing quant or data sci based investing and havent used jupyter i highly reccomend its free and opensource and endlessly configurable!
Curious how others here structure their research environments as well please do share!!
