A demo on running a fundamental factor model trading strategy.
Using this example. Builds a FactorStrategy using economic factors and a rolling data window, then schedules rebalancing and registers account measures. This example needs the configured Compustat/filesystem or SQL data source; public Yahoo prices alone do not supply its factor data. Keep calibration data earlier than the trade decisions when changing windows.
Model and publication. Fama–French is background for the market/size/value factor vocabulary. The linked author documentation defines SMB and HML; this application is not a reproduction of the original stock-and-bond empirical study.
Implementation in this tutorial. FactorExcessBenchmark, FactorSMB and FactorHML feed EconomicFactorModel, which estimates exposures/premia over the configured trailing window. FactorStrategy then uses a chosen optimizer and diversification layer to rebalance. Factor measurement, database construction and reporting dates must be consistent; financial statement availability dates matter. The code’s factor implementations, universe and optimizer choices define this experiment.

Follow the repository setup for JDK 8, Maven credentials and an external NM license. From the repository root:
mvn -U -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=tech.nmfin.algoquant.demo.model.factormodel.EconomicModelStrategyDemoThe automated run uses scripts/ModelDemoRunner.java to initialize the external license before the unchanged main, save JFreeChart windows as PNGs, and exit after main returns. It uses an isolated working directory with the repository datasets/configuration linked in. Running directly may leave desktop windows open.
This is an incomplete or blocked run. Output below is diagnostic or partial, not a verified strategy result.

Download EconomicModelStrategyDemo.zip contains stdout, stderr, the execution record, checksums and any exported CSV/chart files.
Use the first relevant exception and the source configuration to resolve the prerequisite or code issue, then rerun. A missing dataset requires the correct original schema and period; substituting synthetic values would be a different experiment. A timeout establishes only that this bounded attempt did not finish.
For model assumptions, original publications and adaptation limits, use the literature guide.
