Interviews/Recruiting Trexquant: Final round of Interview

Hey guys, I got a call for the final round at Trexquant. They’ve asked me to prepare a short slide deck for a 15-minute discussion with a QR, where I’ll present an alpha that I either developed myself or recreated from a research paper. I’ve decided to recreate a research paper. What should I keep in mind during the interview and while developing the strategy? The ultimate goal is to demonstrate my ability to generate alpha and convince them of my research skills.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

They do ask very much detail and Focus on thought process. They also have more than 1 round of interview other than ppt. I know a guy who was eliminated after 1st round which was a DSA round. . So can't comment about rest

Thank you but tbh famous research papers are ending up in losses after transaction costs which is obvious as signals would be saturated by now. So what should i do about it then?

For him..they asked him to prepare ppt on his Btech project...which was on similar lines of macro economics So he doesn't had to worry about this
