Cointegrated stock pairs

Pair Trading stocks involves simultaneously entering LONG (i.e. BUYING) and entering SHORT (i.e. SELLING) two “paired” stocks.  It has been shown to provide protection from market crashes, controlled risk, low correlation to the market averages and ability to generate significant and consistent returns.  Multiple recent research studies have demonstrated returns to be in the range of 2%-4% per month*, on a 4:1 leverage basis, over more than a decade.  Add in the use of Cointegrated Stock Pairs and the historical returns look even stronger**.

Stock Pair Trading Through a Market Crash: Generate Consistent Profits

June 14, 2020 12:25 pm |
Stock Market Volatility Returns with a Vengeance

Last week in the U.S. Equities indices was certainly the definition of “interesting times”.  The DJIA crashed by over 1,800 points or 6.9% on Thursday, only to recover about 1.9% on Friday.  The S&P 500 behaved similarly.  The NASDAQ was a bit less volatile, but we think it’s saving up for a chance to really out-do the others.  Quite some volatility.  However, for many of our clients, it was an excellent opportunity to generate increased profits by stock pair trading through a market crash.
