Multi-Pair Statistical Arbitrage Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
Correlation Basket EA is a professional multi-pair trading system designed to identify temporary statistical divergences between correlated Forex pairs.
Instead of relying on a single currency pair, the EA analyzes relationships between multiple instruments and looks for situations where the price relationship between two correlated pairs moves significantly away from its historical equilibrium.
Key Features
Statistical Arbitrage
The EA uses historical price relationships and statistical analysis to identify potential pair-trading opportunities.
It calculates:
-
Pair correlation
-
Z-Score
-
Historical spread deviation
-
ATR volatility
-
Market conditions
A trade opportunity is considered when the correlation between two instruments is sufficiently strong and the Z-Score indicates a significant statistical deviation.
Basket Trading
Each trading opportunity consists of two coordinated positions:
-
One position is opened in the first currency pair.
-
An opposite position is opened in the second correlated currency pair.
The objective is to trade the relative relationship between the two instruments rather than relying exclusively on the direction of the overall Forex market.
Z-Score Entry & Exit
The EA provides configurable Z-Score parameters:
-
Z-Score Entry
-
Z-Score Exit
-
Emergency Z-Score
This allows traders to control how significant a statistical divergence must be before a basket is opened and when the relationship is considered sufficiently normalized.
Correlation Filter
The EA only considers pairs that meet the configured minimum correlation level.
This helps reduce low-quality pair combinations and focuses the strategy on instruments with stronger historical relationships.
Risk Management
The system includes several risk-management mechanisms:
-
Fixed lot trading
-
Optional percentage-based risk calculation
-
ATR-based Stop Loss
-
ATR-based Take Profit
-
Basket Take Profit
-
Basket Stop Loss
-
Maximum number of simultaneous baskets
-
Maximum spread filter
-
Minimum time between trades
-
Emergency divergence protection
Basket Protection
The EA monitors both positions continuously.
If one leg of a basket is closed unexpectedly, the EA can automatically close the remaining position to avoid leaving an unbalanced basket.

Recommended Usage
For initial testing, it is recommended to use the EA with a conservative fixed lot size and perform a thorough backtest before considering live trading.

For the most realistic evaluation, use historical data with real ticks when available and test across multiple market conditions.
