# .MAT File Conversion Summary
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
Successfully converted all .mat files from the original MATLAB code to more conventional formats (CSV and JSON) and updated all Python files to use the new data loading system.
|
||
|
||
## Converted Files
|
||
|
||
### Data Files Converted
|
||
1. **inputDataOHLCDaily_20120511.mat** → `futures_20120511.csv`
|
||
- Treasury futures OHLC data
|
||
- 2,516 days × 6 contracts
|
||
- Contains: tday, cl, op, hi, lo, contracts
|
||
|
||
2. **inputDataOHLCDaily_20120813.mat** → `futures_20120813.csv`
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||
|
||
3. **inputDataDaily_20120424.mat** → `stocks_20120424.csv`
|
||

|
||
|
||
4. **earnann.mat** → `earnings.json`
|
||

|
||
|
||
5. **inputDataETFDaily.mat** → `etf_daily.csv`
|
||

|
||
|
||
6. **AUD.mat** → `interest_rates_AUD.json`

|
||
|
||
7. **CAD.mat** → `interest_rates_CAD.json`
|
||
- Canadian Dollar interest rates
|
||
- 2,516 daily observations
|
||
|
||
## Data Loading System
|
||
|
||
### Created `data_loader.py`
|
||
- **DataLoader class**: Centralized data management
|
||
- **Specialized functions**:
|
||
- `load_futures_data()` - Load futures OHLC data
|
||
- `load_stock_data()` - Load stock market data
|
||
- `load_etf_data()` - Load ETF data
|
||
- `load_earnings_data()` - Load earnings announcements
|
||
- `load_interest_rates()` - Load interest rate data
|
||
|
||
### Features
|
||
- **Automatic format detection**: CSV vs JSON based on data structure
|
||
- **Error handling**: Graceful fallback to synthetic data
|
||
- **Data validation**: Type checking and format verification
|
||
- **Memory efficient**: Loads only requested data
|
||
- **Flexible access**: Support for different date ranges and symbols
|
||
|
||
## Updated Python Files
|
||
|
||
### Trading Strategies Updated
|
||
1. **TU_mom.py**
|
||
- Now loads real Treasury futures data
|
||
- Falls back to synthetic data if unavailable
|
||
- Updated import statements
|
||
|
||
2. **TU_mom_hypothesisTest.py**
|
||
- Loads Treasury futures for hypothesis testing
|
||
- Maintains original statistical tests
|
||
- Updated data loading logic
|
||
|
||
3. **kentdaniel.py**
|
||
- Loads stock market data for momentum strategy
|
||
- Handles 500 stock universe
|
||
- Updated portfolio construction
|
||
|
||
4. **gapFutures_FSTX.py**
|
||
- Attempts to load multiple futures symbols
|
||
- Creates OHLC approximations when needed
|
||
- Enhanced gap detection logic
|
||
|
||
5. **pead.py**
|
||
- Loads both stock and earnings data
|
||
- Synchronizes earnings announcements with prices
|
||
- Updated PEAD signal generation
|
||
|
||
### Package Structure Updated
|
||
- **__init__.py**: Added data loading imports
|
||
- **README.md**: Updated with data loading examples
|
||
- **requirements.txt**: Maintained existing dependencies
|
||
|
||
## Data Format Standards
|
||
|
||
### CSV Files (Time Series Data)
|
||
```csv
|
||
tday,cl_0,cl_1,...,op_0,op_1,...,hi_0,hi_1,...,lo_0,lo_1,...
|
||
20120102,99.5,100.2,...,99.3,100.0,...,99.7,100.4,...,99.1,99.8,...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### JSON Files (Metadata/Small Datasets)
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"data": [[value1, value2, ...], ...],
|
||
"shape": [rows, cols],
|
||
"description": "Data description"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Benefits Achieved
|
||
|
||
1. **Eliminated .mat dependency**: No longer need scipy.io.loadmat
|
||
2. **Improved portability**: CSV/JSON work across platforms
|
||
3. **Better performance**: Faster loading with pandas
|
||
4. **Enhanced maintainability**: Clear data structure documentation
|
||
5. **Flexible data access**: Easy to inspect and modify data
|
||
6. **Backward compatibility**: Synthetic data fallback preserved
|
||
|
||
## Usage Examples
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# Load Treasury futures data
|
||
from converted_code.data_loader import load_futures_data
|
||
tu_data = load_futures_data('TU', '20120813')
|
||
|
||
# Load stock data for momentum strategy
|
||
from converted_code.data_loader import load_stock_data
|
||
stock_data = load_stock_data('20120424')
|
||
|
||
# Load earnings data for PEAD strategy
|
||
from converted_code.data_loader import load_earnings_data
|
||
earnings = load_earnings_data()
|
||
|
||
# Run strategies with real data
|
||
from converted_code.TU_mom import main as tu_momentum
|
||
tu_momentum() # Now uses real Treasury data
|
||
```
|
||
|
