Panda Factor is a quantitative trading infrastructure and alpha factor framework. It serves as a backend system for building, calculating, and managing mathematical signals designed to predict the price movements of financial assets.
The project functions as a technical indicator engine that generates quantitative metrics from price and volume data. It utilizes a financial data pipeline to automate the synchronization of market data from multiple providers on a nightly schedule.
The system provides capabilities for quantitative alpha generation and the construction of financial indicators using string-based mathematical formulas. It includes mechanisms for time-series data indexing and the retrieval of calculated factors by name and date range.
