Apply Event Driven Trading Strategies

  • Identify repeatable trading patterns driven by calendar events such as month-ends, paydays, and Federal Reserve (FED) meetings that consistently influence market behavior and short-term price movements.
  • Backtest eight event-driven trading strategies across equities, fixed income, and volatility markets using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. Uncover pricing inefficiencies and seasonal dynamics supported by historical data.
  • Understand the economic rationale behind well-documented anomalies like the Turn of the Month, Payday Effect, VIX Futures Expiration, and Treasury Auctions. Learn how institutional flows and behavioral patterns drive these effects.
  • Enhance each strategy using trend-following filters, contango-based risk controls, and volatility-adjusted portfolio allocation to manage drawdowns and stay aligned with broader market trends.
  • Combine strategies into diversified portfolios using both equal-weighted and volatility-weighted approaches to optimize exposure and improve risk-adjusted performance.
  • Evaluate real-world trading frictions, including transaction costs and macro shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, to strengthen your risk management framework for live market deployment.
