Example Strategy 📊

Hedging is a market-neutral trading strategy that enables traders to profit from virtually any market conditions: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways movement. This strategy is categorized as a statistical arbitrage and convergence trading strategy.

How It Works:

1. Cointegration Analysis: Identify cointegrated pairs of stocks within a specified time interval.
2. Spread Calculation: Calculate the spread of the cointegrated pairs using linear regression.
3. Signal Generation: Generate trading signals based on Z-score normalization.
   • Go "Long" the spread whenever the Z-score is below -1.0
   • Go "Short" the spread when the Z-score is above 1.0
   • Exit positions when the Z-score approaches zero
4. Backtesting: Test the strategy on historical data to evaluate performance.
5. Portfolio Returns: Calculate and analyze the returns of the portfolio based on the strategy.
