When Data and Reality Don’t Match
CHAPTER 9
When Data and Reality Don’t Match
Spencer Burns
It is common knowledge that beating the stock market is hard. But on the face of things,
it seems like purely an analysis problem, not a data problem. Modeling is difficult;
building a timeseries should be simple. For every day (or minute, or millisecond), for
each unique stock symbol, there is a listed price at which you can buy shares, and you
can sell those same shares later, comparing the two prices to calculate your profit.
Every assumption in the preceding statement is usually true, yet each of them fail often
enough to ruin a model. A series of stock data may look structured and clean, but that
neatness hides the idiosyncratic path of how a given stock got to where it is today. It is
“good” data covering up for messy reality.
Stock data does not come out of independent observations of markets; the data is an
integral part of the market. There is a tight feedback loop where data about the state of
the market affects the market (e.g., rising prices may cause people to push prices up
further). Furthermore, what happens in the market can change the nature of the market.
Some examples of this are when companies with falling prices leave the market, or ones
with rising prices buy other companies, or when market crashes trigger changes in
trading rules.
What this means in practice is that the stock market of today is not exactly the same as
the market of yesterday; every day is a new experiment. Data needs to be constantly
adjusted in small ways to make yesterday comparable to today.
Magnifying this problem, most trading strategies are only just barely profitable (or un‐
profitable) on average, adding up a large number of small transactions to get signif
