Alpha Stock: Automated Vietnam Stock Quantitative Trading
Alpha Stock VN is one of the Alpha strategies in the AlphaSet ecosystem, built to exploit opportunities in the Vietnam securities market
Alpha Stock VN is one of the Alpha strategies in the AlphaSet ecosystem, built to exploit opportunities in the Vietnam securities market - combining cash equities (HOSE/HNX) and VN30F1M derivatives in a multi-segment quantitative system.
What is Alpha Stock VN?
Alpha Stock VN is a multi-segment quantitative strategy for the Vietnam securities market, operating simultaneously across two segments:
- Cash equities (HOSE/HNX) - long-only, buying the top quintile equity group from ranking results, with capital turnover limits calculated per T+1.5 settlement rules.
- VN30F1M derivatives - long/short directional based on regime signals and market volatility levels
A dynamic capital allocation engine manages exposure between the two segments, computing net exposure and cross-hedging between cash equities (positive delta) and derivatives (potentially long or short).
How does the quant engine work?
Alpha Stock VN operates through 3 sequential processing layers:
Layer 1 - Equity universe screening
| Universe | Role |
|---|---|
| VN30 | Large-cap, highest liquidity - baseline position for cash equities |
| VN100 | Top 100 liquid equities - expanded universe for ranking |
Layer 2 - Multi-factor ranking
| Signal | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Technical indicators | Momentum, mean-reversion, breakout patterns |
| Quality / valuation factors | P/E, ROE, debt-to-equity - fundamental screening |
| Foreign institutional flows | Net buy/sell by foreign investors - early signal for price moves |
| Market sentiment | News and social media sentiment per ticker |
| Market microstructure | Order book balance, tick-level order flow |
Unique competitive edge: Foreign institutional flow data is published daily by HOSE/HNX - but this signal remains largely unexploited systematically by individual quant systems in Vietnam.
Layer 3 - Capital allocation between segments
| Segment | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Cash equities (HOSE/HNX) | Long-only top percentile from ranking results; capital turnover respects T+1.5 settlement rules, avoiding excessive rebalancing |
| VN30F1M derivatives | Long/short directional per regime and volatility; effective leverage ~5.4x (DNSE Future X margin 18.48%) |
Derivatives are mark-to-market daily, positions recomputed per signals. The cash equity segment avoids capital lock-in by respecting T+1.5 settlement constraints.
Execution model - SACO-delegated
Alpha Stock VN executes trades via DNSE using the SACO delegation model - AlphaSet acts as the legal Investment Partner for users, complying with regulations from the State Securities Commission (UBCKNN).
This model complies with regulations on trading robots issued by securities companies in 2023.
Risk Management
| Limit | Level |
|---|---|
| Daily loss limit | If drawdown exceeds threshold during session, engine pauses until next trading session |
| Per-ticker position limit | No excessive concentration in a single equity |
| Derivatives leverage limit | Engine self-limits effective leverage, not maxing out broker allowance |
| Controlled capital turnover | Cash equities avoid capital lock-in from excessive unsettled positions |
Target Users
Alpha Stock VN suits:
- Domestic investors seeking diversification from crypto - Vietnam equities have entirely different market drivers, low correlation with BTC/ETH
- Long-term Vietnam equity holders wanting an active layer to exploit short-term opportunities while maintaining net VN30 exposure
- Traders wanting VN30F1M derivative exposure with automated risk management instead of self-operating
Requirement: account at DNSE (or ready to open a new account).
