What you can validate

Event-driven

Reactions and drift around scheduled and idiosyncratic events.

Event-driven strategies trade predictable behavior around catalysts. We validate post-earnings drift, surprise momentum, index reconstitution effects, and macro-release reactions with careful point-in-time handling to avoid lookahead.
