    PairTrade Finder www.pairtradefinder.com

    I made $6-10,000 in the first 3 months I used it, entering trades of $2000 per side. I earned enough to pay the purchase cost in 1 week. Searches a universe of stocks/pairs the user enters and develops graphs that clearly show the viability of the pair. 30 day free trial.

  7. with what kind of capital? dont mean to sound nosy, but its more about % gains than dollar value...but still thats pretty damn nice.

    pairtrade finder tells you how much to buy, and when to sell...so whats the hard part, picking the right pairs I guess, but just take the ones that have the highest correlations and you should be fine, yes?

    Correlation is a time varying phenomenon.

    Ya, I was doing about 3% a week. I was excited. Figured I'd be a millionaire in a short time. After the good introduction to pair trading, my success dropped. Didn't lose money, but certainly not the 3% a week I was sustaining for the first 3 months.
