QuantSchool: Factoring in news and macro indicators

Balancing Quantitative Signals with Fundamental Reality

While QuantWave's models primarily analyze price patterns, savvy traders integrate macroeconomic context for more robust decision-making.

Key Integration Methods

1. News Impact Classification

• Tier 1: Central bank decisions, GDP, CPI (override forecasts)
• Tier 2: Earnings, sector news (modify position sizing)
• Tier 3: General news flow (monitor only)

2. Macro-Forecast Alignment Matrix

Scenario	Action
QuantWave + Macro aligned	Full position size
QuantWave strong, Macro neutral	Normal execution
QuantWave-Macro conflict	Reduce size 50% or pass

QuantWave's News Tools

1. Event Impact Projector

• Shows historical market reactions
• Forecasts probable volatility spikes
• Suggests position adjustments

2. Macro-Filter Settings

• Earnings season sensitivity toggle
• FOMC meeting buffers
• Economic calendar integration

Implementation Framework

The 5-Step News Integration

1. Check economic calendar daily
2. Assess upcoming event magnitude
3. Compare with current QuantWave signals
4. Adjust positions pre-event if needed
5. Monitor post-event confirmation

Common Pitfalls

• Overweighting recent news
• Ignoring scheduled events
• Disregarding QuantWave signals completely
• Misjudging news persistence

Optimal Balance Practices

• Use macro to filter, not override signals
• Focus on scheduled high-impact events
• Maintain QuantWave's risk parameters
• Document news-impacted trades separately

QuantWave forecasts combined with selective news awareness create a powerful synergy. By systematically incorporating macroeconomic factors without abandoning quantitative discipline, traders can navigate fundamental shocks while maintaining strategy integrity.
