This paper investigates the viability of an intraday momentum strategy centered on liquidity injections in high-beta equities. We propose a systematic framework, the Liquidity Cascade Model (LCM) which identifies entry points based on volume anomalies relative to the 20-day moving average, specifically during the market's opening auction and the first 15 minutes of the trading session. By utilizing Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a dynamic support/resistance level, we demonstrate a statistically significant edge in capturing short-term price continuation. Backtests on the S&P 500 universe (2018–2023) show a Sharpe Ratio of 1.85 with a maximum drawdown of 6.2%, suggesting that liquidity events act as reliable precursors to intraday trends when filtered by volatility regime.

The bootcamp includes a module on "The Quant Interview"—covering brainteasers, probability puzzles, and C++ trivia. Multiple members have reported that the question bank overlaps significantly with what they saw at Optiver, Jane Street, and Citadel (junior roles). quantcademy
