"Basic Statistical Arbitrage: Understanding the Math Behind Pairs Trading"
great video
In algorithmic trading, information is king. You can tease out an edge to trade on even by using only the most basic properties of time series. In this lecture, we will cover the statistics that ground the trading logic when conducting pairs trades and discuss how to find pairs.
This talk is based on the following lectures from the Quantopian Lecture Series:

⢠Integration, Cointegration, and Stationarity

Thanks for posting! I need advice: My Tron Wallet holds some USDT, and I have the SEED: clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish -tonight involve whip -action-. How to proceed with sending them to Upbit?
More User Perspectives
Thank you for sharing! Hoping for some advice: My Safe Wallet contains some USDT TRX20, and I know the SEED: clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish -tonight involve whip -action-. Whatās the best way to proceed with sending them to another wallet on Binance?
Cointegration.. 90 minutes cicles.. quaterly distributed on 6 cicles per session. Think about this. To survive, I had to find a way to make it happen anyway. Man.. my head canāt stop or slow down right now.
@adrianabrito369Btw, I really need to go for an ice cream with the author. He said heād be hanging out for a while. Where is he now? :) sorry, couldnāt hold it.
Thank you again.
Seeing you explaining p value to theoretically smart people made me remember and wonder again what the fuck was going on that I was seeing myself explaining moving average and deviations and standard deviations to an engineer.. just nothing was making any sense anymore. And my forex journey was very different but fuck⦠I was gonna go for /quit for real. Definitely need an ice cream over this. Fuck fuck fuck
Btw, I really need to go for an ice cream with the author. He said heād be hanging out for a while. Where is he now? :) sorry, couldnāt hold it.
Thank you again.
Man. These people didnāt understand s word you said almost ten years ago and youāre explaining basic to understand the bare minimum. Iāll reach out to you guys, I just need a time to balance my heart because you just fucking saved my life because MY perception fits reality now and I know Iāll have the right tools now. People are NOT ready to face the truth that itās not genious if they just accept weāre just being fooled all the time. Iāll reach out or email you as soon as I balance my head. Thank you. Fuck. Thank you. This is like traveling back in time and gaining 7 years. From now on, Iām in 2017 again, with basics. Thank you thank you
@adrianabrito369The very poor reasoning and thought process behind his examples and models are a very good example of how fast you will lose your money, if you donāt have a 50/50 understanding of both finance and statistics. He is a good staticisian or mathematician who lacks any understanding of the markets or finance. The variables and the data he chooses to build his models on, as well as their respective time frames, will without a doubt result in huge losses. Very sketchy presentation, and I would have gotten away from that as quickly as possible. It reminds me a bit of FOREX trader gurusšessentially they also argue that by looking at means and only using data points from price movement youāll make a miracle model (thousands of computers around the world already absorb the tiny margin of profit that can be made trading small rare mean reverting assets). And a small company in the alternative energy sector is definitely not a mean reverting stationary asset in any shape or form.
@Yungvids27Thank you for posting! Hoping for some guidance: My wallet on OKX holds some USDT, and I know the seed phrase: clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish -tonight involve whip -action-. How should I proceed with transferring them to Coinbase Exchange?
My comment is for the future people who live in 2050. I got an stupid ad, a stupid smart guy promoting an ad for prompt engineering which is nothing but asking a generative ai right questions so it can answer right. And I'm broke to buy stupid premium account to skip such stupidity. I'm stupid now. Remember your ancestors paid to skip stupidity and you're here now reading my comment. Eliminate stupidity through consciousness.
@sundaresann4749Thank you for publishing this! Hoping for some advice: My Crypto Wallet contains some Tether USDT, and I possess the seed phrase: clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish -tonight involve whip -action-. How to handle transferring them to Binance?
Very interesting lecture!
@marwinsteiner5817Great presenter
@ralffig3297Been in the middle of arb trading for three decades. At the end of the day never forget the old adage - "The market can be irrational longer than you can remain solvent"
@wisemintappAn academic example that is useful for understanding the key concept, but a bit misleading as too simplistic for any of that to work in real world.
@borhenbouaziz1879Nice c.... st..ock, bro
@tomas-333From Whitney.A USDT wallet phrase is making the rounds: (clean party soccer advance audit clean evil finish tonight involve whip action).
@JaeLosadoTHIS IS THE DEFINITION OF MAKING TRADING IMPOSSIBLE AND DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.šš
@BV-pn5ndIt was a good introductory lecture, but I didn't get all that much insight into the strategies of statistical arbitrage.
@arnold-pdevI didn't know what he said but I watched until the end cause he s hot. huh
@TheJamesMethod-b4tThis is all naive statistical mumbo jumbo. It's predicated on the idea that two instruments are related in a non changing way. But this is so naĆÆve it's comical. If it were true the arbitrage opportunity would never exist in the first place.
@MrMikomiAs someone who has very limited statistics knowledgeā¦
To me, it looks like when you integrate from order 0 up until order ānā, itās almost like moving from a 1 second chart, up the ladder until eventually max time chart š§
I have no idea what this guy is saying
@Dummy_TradesWe as a society need to come up with a solution to academic hecklers
@michaeljagdharryGranger causality would be a great subject to incorporate into these lectures
@carsondoesdataMarket is driven by fear and greed, algos just follow the crowd, no algo made money consistently
@mihairusu6734Quantopian has closed its doors a few years agoā
@DrFractal123and they say nobody will remember when you fucked up during your speech because they are more worried about themselves. haha bullhicky! just look at the comments!
@caleb7799Interest piqued, but how relevant is this still?
@carlosfierro3302just a few short years after this video released, quantopian website and seemingly the whole company vanishes
@cgu367716:22 this is thinking about ārandomnessā in the wrong way. Heās thinking of ārandomā/āprobabilisticā as a fixed point (i.e.: the uniform distribution) and ādeterministicā as a spectrum. Anything that isnāt the uniform distribution, in this world view, is some degree of deterministic. In reality itās the opposite. Entropy works the same way

@РоГионЧаŃŃŠŗŠøŠ½Amazing job Max, loved it!
@felipemiraflores-bAlways bullshit for the public. Jewish computer game
@lightshine2786He sounds exactly like Philip Gallagher.
@watchizee7246I'm sure this is pretty redundant rn but man Quantopian closing left a hole in my soul š„²
@toaninh9120Sir, In forex pairs SPREAD TRADING do you recommend use of CCI (say on 4H chart--cci 7,cci 14, cci30,cci50 values & add all these values on each pairs to spread & compare overpriced/underpriced leg).The pairs got to have correlations of at least 90%(say aud/usd &nzd/usd--aud/jpy &nzd/jpy--eur/jpy & gbp/jpy--gbp/aud & gbp/nzd etc.).Sell the overpriced & buy underpriced. This would give trader starting edge, staying power, size choice & risk control. You would be comparing deflection of prices summed up on multiple time frames(added up/robust) for asset A & B. Your wisdom is appreciated..
@navketan1965This guy is genius.
@GF86123Good lecture, but this video I find best to describe what stationarity is: https://youtu.be/oY-j2Wof51c
@tratkotratkov126thank you
@strawbryminiwheatsmathematical parasite !!
@FirstNameLastName-fv4eulmao nothing is random. good talk btw.
