Pairs Trading & In Play With (MOS – POT)…

(The Mosaic Co – Potash Of Sash) We took entry on our “MOS-POT” pair just a nickel above our pending entry of $11.50 spread value. As I stated in Wednesday’s newsletter, our initial entry on this pair is a half-sized position. This gives us great risk management, and some flexibility to consider adding additional layers for more gains as the pair starts to move back up to & above, the target 10 SMA mean. Let’s see how Thursday’s (RTH) session plays out with the pair.

• Pair: MOS – POT
• Sector: Chemical Industry
• Current Distance from mean: 0.59
• Correlation: 0.91
• Spread Range: 11.65 to 11.35

Pairs Buzz! Wednesday, we took entry on our banking pair “WFC-USB” long at $2.70 which was a lower spread value of our pending entry of $3.00. “WFC” has earnings 4/13, (BMO), so I advised to either close the pair before the end of day on Wednesday, or purchase the “WFC” $53.50 Put, in order to protect our long stock to the downside. .

The commentary above is excerpted from the ShadowTrader Pro Pairs Trader newsletter. The newsletter is a stock only service designed for active equity traders who are interested in pairs trading of equities long and short simultaneously so as to profit from divergences while maintaining a market neutral bias.

The daily report spotlights one equity pair which trades in a definable range and whole stocks are positively correlated. The objective of the newsletter is to present one such pair daily that may be coming into play currently, giving self-directed traders the opportunity to put the pair on watch for possible entry. Additionally, Pairs Trader sends out specific trade recommendations intraday on selected equity pairs. These trades are actively managed via real-time text alerts and are tracked in the Pairs Trader Portfolio.

Specific pairs trade recommendations are posted to MyTrade as we find them. The ideas are always presented as a matched equity pair, alerting subscribers to purchase one stock while simultaneously shorting another, often within the same sector or industry group. Trade alerts clearly explain the analysis behind the setups and also educate newer traders on basic pairs trading concepts such as spread, ratio, correlation, beta/market neutrality, and more. These trades are added to the ShadowTrader Pairs Trader Portfolio which is updated nightly and included in each day’s edition of the Pairs Trader newsletter. The newsletter is sent out each night assuring that users have ample time in the morning to digest the information.<
