+Some older documentation incorrectly stated "96 bars = 1 day" — this is WRONG. Always use:
+- 60 bars = 1 hour

+- 180 bars = 3 hours (London/NY overlap 13:00-16:00 UTC)

+  4. **Process ALL data — do not filter dates**: The source HDF5 contains data from 2020-01-01 to 2026-03-20 (development runs may use a 2024-only debug dataset with ~300 entries, which is acceptable). Do NOT filter to a single year in your code. Write your code to process whatever date range is available in the HDF5 file — do not hardcode date filters. Expected output for production data: ~1500+ daily entries for 2020-2026. Expected output for debug data: ~300 daily entries for 2024. Both are valid.
 
   5. **Use `transform()` instead of `apply()` for per-group calculations**: `transform()` preserves the original index while `apply()` may reduce the number of rows unexpectedly:

      ```
 
+  7. **NEVER use same-day aggregations as the factor value — always shift by 1 day**: If your factor computes a daily aggregate (e.g. daily close return, daily OHLC range, daily volume), that aggregate is only known at end-of-day. Using it at the start of the same day is look-ahead bias. You MUST shift the daily aggregate by 1 day before forward-filling to minute bars:
+     ```python
+     # WRONG: look-ahead bias! Today's close return is not known at 00:00
+     daily_ret = df['$close'].groupby(level='instrument').resample('1D', level='datetime').last().pct_change()
+     result_df['my_factor'] = daily_ret.groupby(level='instrument').transform(lambda x: x.reindex(df.index.get_level_values('datetime'), method='ffill'))
+
+     # CORRECT: shift by 1 trading day so factor value at day T = aggregate of day T-1
+     daily_close = df.groupby([df.index.get_level_values('datetime').normalize(), df.index.get_level_values('instrument')])['$close'].last()
+     daily_close.index.names = ['date', 'instrument']
+     daily_ret = daily_close.groupby(level='instrument').pct_change().shift(1)  # <-- shift(1) is MANDATORY
+     # then map back to minute bars via ffill
+     ```
+     This rule applies to ALL daily aggregations: returns, OHLC stats, volume, momentum, slopes, etc.
+     **Session-based aggregations (London, NY, Asian session returns) are also daily aggregations** — the London
+     session (08:00-16:00 UTC) ends at 16:00, so its return must be shifted by 1 day before use.
+     Intraday rolling factors (e.g. 30-min rolling std computed at bar t using only bars t-N..t-1) do NOT need this shift.
+
+  8. **PREFER pure intraday rolling factors**: Factors that use only a trailing window of recent bars (e.g.
+     rolling(30).mean() of returns, RSI(14), Bollinger Band z-score) have NO look-ahead risk and vary every
+     minute. These are the best candidates for short-horizon (60-180 bar) prediction. Examples:
+     - Rolling 15-min / 30-min / 60-min return momentum (15, 30, 60 bars respectively)
+     - Rolling volatility (std of returns over 20-60 bars)
+     - Distance of close from N-bar moving average (z-score)
+     - RSI or similar oscillators computed on 1-min bars
+     - VWAP deviation (requires volume — use $volume column)
+     Always use `.shift(1)` on the lagged window (e.g. `rolling(N).mean().shift(1)`) to avoid using the
+     current bar's own price in its own feature value.
+     NOTE: 1 bar = 1 minute. The data has ~1440 bars per full trading day. Do NOT use 96 as a day proxy.
