What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ TRADING ]
A forecasted term for the accumulating advantage a trading edge builds while it's still fresh and largely undiscovered by the broader market.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"If alpha lifecycle keeps getting tracked the way alpha drift suggests, 'alpha momentum' is a likely name for the compounding phase before that decay begins."
LORE & ORIGIN
Predictive coinage modeling the early, compounding phase of an edge's life before alpha drift sets in and the advantage erodes.
