This project involves using a combination of statistics along with financial thoery to demonstrate a popular trading strategy used in equity markets: Pairs Trading.
Our goal involves the following:
- Part 1: Creating a model that test for stationarity.
- Part 2: Creating a model that test for cointegration.
- Part 3: Assigning a portfolio of assests and testing for a cointegrated pair among the dataset.
- Part 4: Establishing features and labels that will allow us to create trading signals for the strategy.
