Pairs trading is a statistical arbitrage strategy: buy undervalued security, short overvalued correlated security, profit on convergence. Mastery takes 10-12 weeks. Only professional traders and quants do this. Hedge funds hiring pairs traders pay $200K-$500K base + performance bonus. Skills: statistics, programming, execution under pressure.

Pairs Trading Execution이란

Pairs trading is a market-neutral statistical arbitrage strategy. You identify two correlated securities (e.g., Coke and Pepsi, Exxon and Chevron) trading at unusual relative valuations. Short the overvalued one. Long the undervalued one. Bet on convergence. If both rise/fall together but by different amounts, the pair still profits. Example: Coke and Pepsi historically move together (correlation 0.95). Coke jumps +5% on earnings surprise; Pepsi doesn't. You buy Pepsi, short Coke. Wait for convergence. Pepsi rallies to match Coke, or Coke falls back to Pepsi. Either way, pair profits.

❓ 자주 묻는 질문

▶What makes a good pair?
High correlation historically (e.g., two airlines) but current divergence (one is overvalued, one undervalued). Test cointegration (statistical relationship persists). High liquidity (can buy/sell quickly). No structural breaks (industry changes breaking the relationship).
▶How do I know when to exit a pairs trade?
Primary: prices converge (profit target hit). Secondary: correlation breaks (pair stops behaving as expected, exit before bigger loss). Stop-loss if divergence gets worse than expected. Time-based exit if thesis takes too long (capital lockup).
▶What's the biggest risk in pairs trading?
Correlation breakdown. Two stocks were correlated forever. You short one, buy other. Then industry news hits one; correlation vanishes. Your short skyrockets. Biggest losses are correlation-breakdown trades. Diversify across many pairs to hedge.
▶Can I pairs trade crypto?
Yes. Correlations are high but less stable than equities. Volume is lower (harder to exit). Volatility is extreme (stops trigger more often). Possible, but riskier than equity pairs.
▶How do I execute pairs trade without tying up capital in collateral?
Use margin account (borrow to short) or direct borrow programs (hedge funds lend shares to you for a fee). Retail traders: most brokers don't lend for pairs trading. Institutional access required.
