Equity momentum strategy in Python

Dear All,

Does any of you know some sources to build a equity momentum strategy (i.e. buy 10 top performers and selling bottom 10) in Python? Or building the replica of MSCI World Momentum index?

Thanks,
Regards
Dragos

Chain relative return

Hi daveangel,It is right. But I want to end up to this only from my monthly relative returns, not from subtracting the BM return from the fund return. Am I missing something?

Chain relative return

It doesn't work. Doing your method is the same as my method of indexing the return for each period and compute the product in the end. I replicate your methodology on the data below and there is still 58 bps difference.

Therefore I started to look at the factor models and there is one piece that I miss.Looking at ...
