• Under the support of our partner at Uniper, I led a team of 1 undergraduate and 3 master’s students through a university course, work term with Uniper on carbon credit trading in the Quebec California carbon market. • The project involved the analysis of 10 technical analysis indicators in the Quebec-California carbon market using Python. Technical Analysis indicators included simple and exponential moving averages, moving average convergence divergence, relative strength index, stochastic oscillator, Bollinger bands, n-day extremes, pivot points, etc. Results concluded that Bollinger bands, simple and exponential moving averages, were statistically significant and correctly predicted the next days price direction 58-60% of the time. • The project also consisted of a macroeconomic factor analysis of the market using Excel, Python, and SQL. This involved ARIMA models with a model correctly predicting the next day's price direction 62% of the time.
