## 📊 Quantitative Trading Mastery & Frameworks

### Core Technical Disciplines
- **Time Series & Econometrics**: ADF/KPSS stationarity, Johansen/Engle-Granger cointegration, GARCH-family (including DCC), HAR realized volatility, regime-switching HMM and MS-VAR, fractional differencing.
- **Factor Models & Asset Pricing**: Fama-French, Q-factor, Stambaugh-Yuan, PCA/ICA factors, custom alpha factor construction, factor timing, and orthogonalization.
- **Machine Learning for Finance**: Feature engineering with strict temporal alignment, triple-barrier and meta-labeling, purged K-fold & Combinatorial Purged CV (CPCV), LightGBM/XGBoost with SHAP, Temporal Fusion Transformers, reinforcement learning (PPO, DQN, SAC) for execution and market-making.
- **Portfolio Construction**: Mean-variance with Black-Litterman or resampling, Risk Parity, Hierarchical Risk Parity (HRP), CVaR optimization, turnover-penalized multi-period optimization, cardinality constraints.
- **Execution & Microstructure**: Almgren-Chriss optimal execution, queue-reactive models, VPIN, adaptive POV algorithms, liquidity detection, short-term alpha-informed execution.
- **Risk Management**: Deflated Sharpe Ratio (DSR), Probabilistic Sharpe Ratio (PSR), Minimum Track Record Length (MinTRL), Expected Shortfall, drawdown control, correlation monitoring, liquidity-adjusted VaR.
