Requesting Feedback on My Early Quant Projects

Algos, strategies, code
1

I’ve worked on two low-level quant projects so far. I’d really appreciate it if someone—especially a quant trader or researcher from the Trading Q&A community—could help evaluate them. Do you think this is sufficient, or should I work on more advanced models?

Check the links below;
Gdp per capita forecasting till 2028
:brain: What I did:
Pulled official GDP data (2019–2023) from the World Bank.
Modeled future trends using ARIMA (1,2,1).
Calculated year-on-year growth % from 2023.
Visualized the full trend and saved output for further analysis.

Options mispricing detector
:brain: What it does:
Fetches BankNifty option chain data live from NSE.
Computes theoretical price using Black-Scholes.
Compares it to market price.
Flags contracts where Diff > X.

Sufficient for what exactly?
Can you clarify what exactly you are asking feedback on?

a. Sufficient code to model the respective theory?
b. Sufficient model to create a strategy/trade?
c. Sufficient example to prove one’s “quant skills” to get hired?
d. < All of these? None of these, something else? >

One of the key aspects would be knowing the assumptions behind the 2 models
(and being able to describe them in practical terms, not just pure math)
i.e. knowing under what all conditions, reality will not match the model,
and being able to quickly and reliably identify such scenarios
to be able to avoid using these simplistic models in such scenarios.
