Easy Pairs Trading Scalping Strategy

[WinstonTJ]

Quote from CyborgTrading:Thoughts?

"wait for the products to get out of wack" - how do you know when they are out of wack? Your strategy seems to blindly throw bid/offers out there, hope you get hit and then hope that you bought cheap/sold expensive. Sounds more like a gamble to me because you don't know what the product is worth so you can't tell if the price is out of wack.

Same goes with your "shake" youtube - in concept it works but in practice you can't just blindly throw orders out there and hope for a sideways market.

You have to pay to play and unless you are going to pay top dollar for data you can't run these trades - IMHO. Seems a little shady to push this on people who do not have access to the data to properly use a tool like this.

Sure, I'd give your Shake technology a try, but you don't work with my broker, Interactive Brokers. Out of the 10 I've had, I like them the best and would prefer not to change to anyone else. Are you going to develop a relationship with them any time soon?

Steve,

We are currently in the process of connecting to interactive brokers. We should be connected with them in the early part of next year. Please check our website, under partners to check to see if we've completed our integration or contact us anytime.

thanks

Capital markets were not created for Jewish strategies.

Quote from CyborgTrading:

1. Take highly correlated products like SPY/SSO, or some ETF short/ultrashort pairs.
2. Put bids/offers out in the spread market a few cents out of market and wait for the products to get out of wack
3. Play the mean reversion.

The only thing this strategy requires is an autospreader fast enough to capture these small price deviations....you almost can't lose.

Thoughts from all the pairs traders out there?

I would think Jewish strategies (although I'm not exactly clear on what constitutes one) are best suited to the Capital markets, as we Jews are pretty good at making money. (Ever heard of Goldman Sachs?)

I've never seen a Jewish computer? Do you have a picture of one?
