What is merger arbitrage?

Merger arbitrage is a strategy that exploits the price difference between a target company's current price and the price offered by an acquirer in a merger deal.

How does the engine handle stock-for-stock deals?

For stock swaps, the engine uses `calculate_hedge_ratio` to determine the exact number of acquirer shares to short to neutralize market exposure.

What happens if a deal fails?

If a deal breaks, the target stock typically drops to its pre-deal level. You can use `evaluate_downside_risk` to estimate this potential loss.
