Pair Trading Strategy Journal

How could you use a service from people who don't know how to spell?

"our twitter channel, your inbox or you mobile phone" -> your mobile phone

"Your not dependent on market direction" -> You're not dependent

 

Because I'm paying for their trading signals and analysis, not their grammar.

 

Walt, you can use the IB Excel API. I made a sample for you.
1- Install the API component from IB website.

2- Enable API in TWS: DDE for Excel/Configure the Application to Support API Components

3- In Excel, change Tools/Macro/Security to medium.
4- Start TWS.
5- Open the spreadsheet and follow the instructions.
In the same folder as the spreadsheet, put an sound file called "Chime Down.wav" or PM me your email so I send it to you cuz I dont think I can attach it here.
This can only give you an audible alert, no emails. From what I look in Google it seems doable but I dont have this feat.
If you fail and have questions ask here so I dont repeat 50 times and other can benefit also.

 

You could even automate the orders.

 

Thanks......

Good analysis, i have manage to trade this pair for roughly 3 months. i used a model i built based on the instrument available to me (spreadbetting) .

At the moment the divergence has gone hay wire considering the 1 year data i have (over 2 sd at the moment).

The volatility is actually quite high.

 

Dont forget that over the last 3 months we have been under the same market conditions. Also, the advantage in pairs trading come from diversification. Spread the risk over many pairs and your overall risk decreasses (assuming trades are uncorrelated).

 

I'm sure they are just brilliant in their trading signals and analysis. Is it written in crayon?

 

Totally agree with u.........

I do other pairs like SPX/dax, DAX/FTSE

 

I see Pairtrade Alerts hasn't updated their trade performance since July 6th.

Combine that with spelling mistakes and I think they should be a bit more buttoned up if they're looking for subscribers at $39 a month.

 

Rubbish comments like these simply degrade the thread...

Your whinging about $39 when win % is 85+ and av win is 25% higher than av loss.....get a life mate....clearly better than 99% of junk out there and if anything should congratulate him on transparency of results.....

I'll take the trades and buy him some more crayon's, just to ensure he keeps doing what he is doing...
