Trading system for Index Arbitrage

 Rosario Pisana, Asset Manager

 Tuesday, January 16, 2018

Good day everybody. I've just approached with my team the idea of developing a trading system based on stat arb, to be applied on stocks and currencies mainly. I was wondering if someone in this group has already started coding a program for such strategy (and similar) or has already coded it, but would like to develop it more. If somebody can be interested in sharing the lines of code that owns at the moment, my intention with my partners would be to cooperate potentially in the future for further development of the system. Please let me know, also on PM. Cheers and wish all of you a great day ahead.

StatArbs can be genuinely profitable. Lots depends on your expectations and $$ targets.

Agree with Marko Rantala - it's been awhile, MQL5 crowd finished with StatArbs in early MT4 days (some are still chasing ideal pairs and triplets))

Stat Arb was a great strategy in the 90's. Profitability has been going down over the years - too crowded space now (at least in equities). To get high Sharpe ratios (>2) you need to be able to churn shares much more quickly (e.g. daily in and out of >200 shares) which means very low trading costs per shares (< 0.002) that are available only to very few.

I remember a strategy in Quantopian achieving a Sharpe of around 4, but only assuming very low trading costs (with more standard trading costs you get Sharpe ratios around 1 - which is good, but not great since more low-hanging-fruits are lying around).

Just my two cents.

Have developed what you are looking for and more. Key to stat arb now is using it for market making ie zero trading cost entry and spike capture. The point above re declining alpha is correct in all data I've seen
