| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| prediction-market-pricing | Working paper (SSRN) — the Wang transform as a pricing-measure selection rule for incomplete markets; risk parameter estimated by MLE on 291,309 resolved contracts, 6 platforms (pooled |
| cvxpy-finance | Convex portfolio-optimization cookbook — DPP-compliant mean-variance with transaction costs, Spinu risk parity (exponential cone), and Black-Litterman |
| holy-grail-tqqq | 27-year leveraged-ETF rotation backtest, stress-tested with combinatorial purged cross-validation (López de Prado), deflated Sharpe, and a 7-check robustness suite |
| oracle3 | Multi-venue prediction-market trading engine (633 tests, full CI) deploying the paper's exact Wang-transform pricing model — paper-traded across Kalshi · Polymarket · Solana |
| market-predict | Live SPY/QQQ options-flow dashboard — dealer gamma-flip (net GEX zero-crossing), max pain, and Kalshi + Polymarket implied distributions aggregated from 18 free feeds, live on HF Spaces |
| clawdfolio | Multi-broker portfolio analytics on PyPI — Fama-French 3-factor, GARCH, options Greeks, and a covered-call backtester (544 tests) |
The working paper's oracle3's pricing engine:
prediction-market-pricing ──> oracle3/pricing ──> oracle3 strategies
(MLE, covariate betas) (fair value, Greeks) (10 strategies, paper-traded)
coinjure (UIUC U-Lab, on PyPI) shares oracle3's prediction-market infrastructure. clawdfolio, cvxpy-finance, and market-predict are independent projects.
