""" SEA04 — Turn-of-Month effect (1d) IDEA: The turn-of-month (TOM) effect is a well-documented seasonal pattern in equities: prices tend to rise in the last 1-2 and first 2-3 trading days of each month. We test whether it holds for BTC/ETH. IMPLEMENTATION (causal, signals style): - Use 1d bars - At each bar, we look at the *calendar day* of that bar's close - We compute "trading day of month" (position within month, 1-indexed from start) - We also compute "trading day from end of month" (negative index from end) - We go long if we are in the last `tail` trading days of month OR first `head` days of next month - Entry at close[i], held for the window duration, no TP/SL (pure calendar hold) Grid: (tail=1, head=2) -> short window, 3 days/month (tail=2, head=3) -> medium window, 5 days/month [literature default] (tail=1, head=3) -> asymmetric early (tail=2, head=2) -> symmetric We use study_weights (continuous target) because TOM is a calendar-rule position, not a discrete breakout-style trade. This is cleaner: target=1 during TOM window, 0 otherwise. No vol-targeting (pure binary long/flat) — we keep it honest and simple.
