Pair Trading based on BNF/NF Ratio:
- A pairs trade or pair trading is a market neutral trading strategy enabling people to profit from virtually any market conditions: uptrend, downtrend,
or sideways movement. This strategy is categorized as a statistical arbitrage and convergence trading strategy.
- Cointegration factor:0.14, Correlation factor:0.88 for BNF/NF Pair for last 1 backtested data.Both Factors will change on Daily Bais.
- The correlations between financial quantities are notoriously unstable. Nevertheless, correlations are regularly used in almost all multivariate
financial problems. An alternative statistical measure to correlation is cointegration.
- This is probably a more robust measure of linkage between two financial quantities, but as yet there is little derivative theory based on this concept.
- Two stocks may be perfectly correlated over short timescales, yet diverge in the long run, with one growing and the other decaying.
- Conversely, two stocks may follow each other, never being more than a certain distance apart, but with any correlation, positive negative or varying.
If we are delta hedging, then short timescale correlation matters.
