Check out the new article: Pair Trading: Algorithmic Trading with Auto Optimization Based on Z-Score Differences.

In this article, we will explore what pair trading is and how correlation trading works. We will also create an EA for automating pair trading and add the ability to automatically optimize this trading algorithm based on historical data. In addition, as part of the project, we will learn how to calculate the differences between two pairs using the z-score.

The strategy is based on two important statistical concepts: correlation and stationarity. Correlation is a measure of the statistical relationship between two variables, indicating how closely a change in one variable is related to a change in the other. In the context of financial markets, the correlation between two assets can range from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation).

Stationarity is a property of a time series, in which its statistical characteristics, such as mean, variance, and autocorrelation, remain constant over time. For pair trading, it is important that the price relationship between two assets is stationary. In other words, it tends to return to the mean.
