This project guides you through building a practical system for identifying and capitalizing on short-term market movements triggered by specific corporate or geopolitical events. The tangible outcome is a personal framework for event-driven trading, complete with a structured research methodology, decision criteria, and risk management protocols. You will complete a series of simulated trades, demonstrating the application of your developed strategies to real-world event scenarios. This project does not involve building automated systems or high-frequency trading.
It is geared for individuals who possess a strong analytical inclination, enjoy data interpretation, and are motivated by the challenge of anticipating market reactions within defined parameters. It suits those with a disciplined approach to risk and a desire to understand the mechanics of market timing.
