Yes, just wait till someone I know goes through it and validates it. (Usually takes less than a day but maybe all busy due to weekend and festivities) As I have no employees to oversee, its all other co-traders.

Hi Dexter… Nsefetch method is not working…have followed the suggestions shared in Solution: equity_history() function doesn't work - #4 by dexter but no luck.

Please suggest.

Its a complex platform-specific issue.

Try nsepythonserver in Google Collab and get back to me once.

Ok…I will try and then update you.

I am runing nsepython plugin in local not on any server. Hence, server plugin will not work.
Pls suggest an alternate.

Creating an open-source wrapper doesn’t allow me time to personally delve into your system.

Consider using the server edition in Google Collab as it is system environment independent and will operate effectively. If you prefer having it work on your laptop, you might want to hire a coder for assistance.

Ok…no worries….I will try alternates on my own.

Waiting for alpha solution.

That was done. Click on this link.

Hi Dexter…I had read this article before too but unable to convert it into code using python.
It will be great if you could share the pointers around the same.

The code is in the article. Open it

I found the algorithm but not code.

Calculate Expected Return with the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):

Using CAPM, we calculate the expected return of the stock. This calculation considers the risk-free rate, beta, and the difference between the benchmark return and the risk-free rate. It represents the return expected for the level of risk associated with the stock.

Expected Return = Risk-free Rate + Beta * (Benchmark Return – Risk-free Rate)

Determine Alpha:

Finally, we compute Jensen’s Alpha by subtracting the expected return from the historical return. A positive alpha indicates that the stock has outperformed the benchmark, while a negative alpha suggests underperformance.

Alpha = Actual Stock Return – Expected Return

The value of Alpha offers insights:

  • A positive Alpha indicates that the stock has outperformed the benchmark index.
  • A negative Alpha means the stock has underperformed compared to the benchmark.
  • An Alpha of zero suggests the stock’s performance matched the benchmark.
