factor.explanation

This factor captures the buying intention of market participants more comprehensively by combining the net active buy turnover and the net buy order increment. The net buy order increment reflects the buying intention that investors have not yet fully released (i.e., potential buying), while the net active buy turnover reflects the buying orders that have actually been traded. The difference between the two reflects the dynamic changes in buying intention. The strength of buying intention and its momentum can be measured by averaging and standardizing the buying intensity over a period of time and calculating its mean. The higher the factor value, the stronger the investor's buying intention is during the opening period, and the stronger the buying intention is, which may indicate the potential momentum of stock price increases.

This factor is a momentum factor that combines microstructure and sentiment, integrating the two dimensions of trading behavior and investor sentiment. Compared with the simple volume or order factor, it can better reflect the real trading intention and trading behavior of market participants.
