Metal Trader is a research project led by Ed Torres and Ivan Florentin, examining the feasibility and profitability of a cross-market arbitrage strategy involving physical gold. This academic research became a practical experiment, with the real-life implementation of a trading system executed by an investment vehicle specially designed for the purpose, yielding notable results, which have been documented in this paper.
The Economic Events Tracker emerges from the Metal Trader project as a tool to identify economic events that have an impact on the behavior of currencies, precious metals and equity futures, and based on quantitative results of the events, estimate their impact on the market.
