Turnover Volatility Factor With Market and Stock Exit Rules

Summary

This assignment asks learners to build a trading strategy using the standard deviation of turnover rate as a stock selection factor. It also specifies two exit rules: liquidate positions when the broad market falls by 4% consecutively, and close an individual position after its price rises by 5% or falls by 2%. The task is framed as an exercise tied to a trading-engine course.

The document supplies a strategy specification, but no implementation, backtest, performance results, universe definition, or precise measurement window for turnover volatility and the market decline. It therefore describes a set of rules to investigate rather than evidence that the approach is profitable. The stated thresholds and market trigger would need operational definitions and testing before the strategy could be evaluated or reproduced.

Key ideas

• The proposed stock factor is the standard deviation of turnover rate.
• The assignment specifies closing all positions after a consecutive 4% broad-market decline.
• Individual positions are to be closed after a 5% gain or a 2% loss.
• The document provides no backtest or evidence of strategy performance.
