## Description

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine for minimizing basis risk between spot assets and futures contracts. It calculates the Minimum Variance Hedge Ratio (MVHR) using correlation and volatility analysis. Users can generate daily hedging instructions via `calculate_hedge_signals`, forecast basis movements with `predict_basis_trend`, and verify market safety using `validate_market_conditions`. The engine automatically applies filters for correlation, basis risk thresholds, and liquidity (Open Interest) to ensure hedge effectiveness.

## Tools

### predict_basis_trend
Forecasts the future movement of the basis

### calculate_hedge_signals
Generates daily hedging instructions and risk metrics

### validate_market_conditions
Checks if market conditions meet safety requirements for hedging

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the daily hedging signals for these spot prices [100, 102, 101], futures prices [101, 103, 102], historical basis [1, 1, 1], initial ratio 1.0, and OI [15000, 16000, 15500].
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal hedge ratio is 0.98, with a hedge effectiveness of 94% and a basis risk of 0.02.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe to hedge right now with a correlation of 0.8, basis risk of 0.03, and OI of 12000?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the market conditions meet all safety requirements for executing a hedge.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the next basis value using mean reversion for the basis series [0.5, 0.6, 0.55].
```

**Response:** 
```
0.53
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the optimal hedge ratio determined?**
The ratio is calculated as the correlation between spot and futures returns multiplied by the ratio of their standard deviations, ensuring minimum variance.

**What are the requirements for a hedge to be considered active?**
A hedge is active only if the correlation is above 0.7, basis risk is 5% or less, and futures Open Interest is greater than 10,000.

**Can I forecast future basis movements?**
Yes, you can use the `predict_basis_trend` tool to forecast basis values using either mean reversion or trend-based methods.
