The main reason is that log-returns are time additive. So, in order to calculate the return over n periods using real returns we need to calculate the product of n numbers: The classic application of the trading pair strategy has published in many works in the past and has been applied in practice. The proposed methodology and the trading algorithm designed based on that divided in two different spaces. The first refers to the in sample period which is used to make all the appropriate test and construct the synthetic asset and the other to the out of sample period Trading Period where the synthetic asset trading based on the specific rules Figure 1.
The data of the in sample period used for the synthetic asset construction. Still working in the sample period a new OLS regression was carried out:. If the stationarity exist then this an evidence of mean reverting long term behavior of the spread. According to the previous period different algorithms for synthetic asset trading are developed.
In reality the system of trading is dynamic and updated as new information get to in and the cointegration coefecient or the hedge ratio cannot stay constant during the trading period. For that reason time adaptive algorithms are developed to capture the real conditions of the markets.
The first one considering a rolling ordinary least squares OLS regression. The frequency of regression calculations raised by an optimization procedure and the cointegration coefficient calculated at each step by the regres-.
Now, Ed Gately, a leading computerized trading systems developer, creates a groundbreaking approach to forecasting that includes setting price and time targets to anticipate future price movements-an essential step in reducing risk, increasing reaction time, and yielding greater returns. In reality the system of trading is dynamic and updated as new information get to in and the cointegration coefecient or the hedge ratio cannot stay constant during the trading period. The algorithm is neutral as the beta is close to zero and the Sharp Ratio remains high in all cases. Other Patterns and Events. Table of contents The Importance of Targets.

The Kalman filter process can be described by three different steps: A new approach were developed using a Multivariate Kalman filter process. The aim of these algorithms is to calculate at each time step the updated hedge ratio of the synthetic asset. Assuming that the hedge ratio and the premium follow a random walk we have:. Prediction state where the next system state is predicted based on the knowledge of the previous state.
The next step concerns the measurement prediction. Given the price of the synthetic asset and the predicted hedge ratio the measurement prediction are given as:. The Kalman Gain is the filter, which tells how much the predictions should be corrected on time step is given as:. All the process repeated at every time step of out of sample period. The estimation of V w and V e has been discussed in [11] [12]. In the case of Multivariate Kalman Filter where the hedge ratio is different for each stock and for each time step in the synthetic asset it can been shown that:.
And finally the profit during a period is equal to:. The algorithm of the pair trading strategy is based on the distance of the spread from its historical mean value and its mean-reverting behavior.
To measure this distance a normalized variable called z-score introduced as:. The trading it takes place when this variable exceeds some limits based on the spread mean reverting behavior. Five different time periods was studied. In each case one year data collection was used in order to make the entire test and construct the synthetic asset. All the sample periods started at the first day of the year and ending at the last of the same year.
The trading started on the first day the next year. In Table 1 the back testing periods are presented. In t Table 2 the sets of synthetic assets are presented while in Table 3 the name of symbols is given. In Tables all the metrics of the algorithms are displayed. It can be shown that the dimension of the set and the constituents are different from period to period.
This is an evidence of the non constant cointegration behavior of the stocks with the index but as we can see from the graphs the synthetic asset of each period continues to trade with profit and good metrics results. Sets of stock in synthetic asset on each period. Union set of companies raised from cointegration test from all the period of study.
