Inflation swap rates and CPI.
The lab runs on daily prices for stocks, ETFs, indexes, futures, currencies, crypto and Treasury yields. This strategy from 151 Trading Strategies depends on data outside that set, so it is explained and formalised here rather than backtested.
Hypothetical backtests on daily closes with no slippage unless you add costs. Survivorship bias applies: the stock list is today’s large caps. For learning, not investment advice. Data: Yahoo Finance via yfinance.
