Hi,

First of all thank you for all the generous efforts in producing this software. I must say it is one of the best user-friendly trading tool I have ever come across.

Second, I would like to suggest a backtesting strategy that utilises a pair trading strategy like correlation or cointegration.

Finally, thank you! what a fantastic tool!

A pair trading strategy can be implemented using the money management tool.

How exactly you want the strategy to work?

Hi Husain,

I am waiting for Aris's answer to my question.

How about a spread between 2 symbols ( GDX-GLD) specified and if the value (current/last value) goes beyond 2 std deviations( closing prices ) you buy/sell the spread ?

I cant seem to be getting the multiple pairs running ..

I enter pair1A|Pair1B ; Pair2A|Pairs2B ; Pair3A|Pair3B

it works for Pair1 and Pair2 and then it gives me an error in formula . Can you check why its doing that ?

You should use "," instead of ";".
Semi-colons should be used in the optimize field.
