Hi,

At Quantra, we believe in a practical approach, the capstone project is designed to help you work on a problem statement yourself. This is why we have created the zip file which is " 2. Futures-Trading-Capstone-Solution-Template-and-Data-Files.zip". In this zip file, we have given the data file as well as the py module consisting of all the functions which have been used previously. There is a notebook which gives you the bare structure of creating the solution. It will help you get an idea on how to create the strategy and which you have to code yourself. You can choose to use the data provided or work on your own dataset.

In case you are not able to work on it yourself, we have provided the “1. Futures-Trading-Capstone-Solution-and-Data-files.zip” which contains the entire strategy. You can download, unzip and run the notebook provided in a python environment and see the strategy code.

Hope this helps.

I have unzipped the (1) file and it worked on my system. Can you help me by mentioning the error you are getting.

Thanks.

Hello, Rekhit Pachanekar

Thanks for your reply,

I have solved my problem. while unzipping the file, i got the error message "Path too long ". So I shorten the name of path. Now file unzipped successfully.

Thanks
