factor.explanation

This factor measures market sentiment and willingness to trade by analyzing changes in buy and sell orders during the opening hours. A positive intraday opening net buy order increase to turnover ratio indicates that investors are more willing to buy during this period, which may indicate that the stock is more likely to achieve excess returns in the future. Conversely, a negative value indicates a stronger willingness to sell. The information concentration during the opening hours is high, so this factor has a high reference value for short-term stock selection. This factor is a microstructure factor and can be used in combination with other factors to improve the effectiveness of the stock selection model. In addition, this factor also contains the attributes of the sentiment factor and can be used to measure the overall market sentiment.
