    A live example and how you made money in it
    A lot of people i know are talking about pair trading .:confused:
     
  3. If you were making good money, why did you stop trading?
     
  4. i stopped because at the time i had stopped making money. I am wondering if its a good time to get back in the game of pairs trading?
     
  5. There are hundreds of ways to make money trading.

    Pairs trading is one. If that's the style you prefer, then by all means jump back in.

    Best of luck.
