Description
Summary:Pair trading involves trading two securities with similar trend by different trading positions when their prices diverge. The mean-reverting property thus guarantees profits for the investors. Distance method uses correlation coefficient to evaluate the dependency between securities, which makes sense only when the data are normally distributed. However, most financial assets are not normally distributed but skewed with heavier tails. [Peer Assessment Review]
