Esh, you think that would have smoothed that bug out... So what do you do with your trade at that point? Watch it manually?

I'm having signals generated, it says for the first layer in apirs that I have already entered into?? Then I'm having pairs saying they are not in a trade when there was a signal the day prior. I scanned the log and could find no exit signal. How are you guys trading on this? Anyone...

for anybody that uses www.market-topology.com They must uses different algorithums to come up with their spreads. Pairtrade finder correaltions and market-topology correaltions vary drastically sometimes.

Is there anyway to change your pairs in the console? I want to alter my variables... or do I have to delete everything and start all over?

100 days? I thought it was 365, at least that is what the selection critera is set at as default. Does anyone know what the little pen to the left of the stock pair means in the console window?

Do you guys pretty much stay out of the trade before ex-dividend day, during and immediately after? I know some stocks, especially some REITS and utilities have huge dividends that could really skew the price quite a bit. how have you played the dividends? Where do you get your dividend...

Thanks for all your help guys I appreciate it. Quick question... When I was filtering my stocks on the back tester I only chose stocks that had an 80% correlation. Now when I'm looking at my console I see pairs with really low correaltions? I'm assuming the pairs on the console look at a...

Thanks guys I appreciate it.. So these 'triggers' are everything..entry in the trade, layering in, and exits? It's weird you can't sort the triggers by time. also I noticed for these particular triggers, I only want it to trigger stocks with above an 80% correlation? This trigger is giving...

I've been dabbling with the pair trader software for a few days.

Might be a silly question, but what is the difference between industry and sector?

Question to all pairs traders, How do you take into accoutn dividend days? Do you primarily just stay out of these stocks a few days prior to and a few days after the dividend days? Thanks! Is this information on Yahoo Finance?

I would like to add, that the level of customer service at Pairfinder is absolutely impotent.

You hold until you get 8.5 similarily your out is -8.5? And you entry point is 2 std deviations? Thanks I appreciate it. Just download the software now, in the process of messing with it a bit.

What's your risk? Target on this one?

Thanks coreed for the reply! I assume that you are daytrading these pairs? What is your entry? -8.5 you mean the net between the two stocks, right. I'm actually revising my strategy that I won't enter a stock unit the net looking at a 10MA is greater than 10% What's your entry point...

Does anyone trade oild/gold/REIT pairs? Just curious... I've been doing it for some time and the last couple of months have been a bit rough. A few stocks deviating like crazy and not regressing to a mean for weeks. I've found myself holding the bag and averaging into it. Wondering if...
