comment How to better understand trading signals?
This is really just a generic attribution problem (see papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1565134 for guidance on how to do that, but there's a large literature on other techniques). The biggest problem is that your holdings will not necessarily be constant over time. So in some periods you may be 100% long pork bellies and others you're 100% short the Sri Lankan rupee. The approach by Meucci I mention above can help with point in time attribution.

comment How can I use Entropy-pooling of Atillio Meucci to constuct a portfolio?
Based on the comment, it seems he is wondering about how to construct CVaR views, not optimize the portfolio to minimize CVaR, which is what the butterfly example does. It is easy to take a view on the tail, but taking a view on the CVaR is slightly more complicated, which is why he has that separate paper on extreme views.

comment How to Quantify Headwinds
You may want to look up contribution to Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall. This is a more general approach: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1565134

comment Bootstrapping spot rates from treasury yield curve
That topic provided one technique to obtain the rates (linear interpolation). Is the answer your looking for the industry standard method, the best method, or something else?

comment Is a linear combination of GARCH processes also a GARCH process?
True, but the answer I provided was mainly for illustrative purposes since you weren't particularly clear about under what conditions, what kind of Garch, etc.

comment How to annualize dividends paid at varying intervals?
For calculating the statistics, I believe you'd want to look up the formula for a time weighted return.

comment Measuring co-movement at non-constant intervals
I'm not sure this is entirely what the OP is asking, but it seems like it is...
