Key metrics

Decision signals

Entry, sizing, and stability anchors for the trade.

Z-score?Z = (S - μ) / σ. Higher absolute values mean larger deviation; |z| >= 2 is often a potential entry.

+0.45

Hedge ratio (γ)?Units of B needed to hedge 1 unit of A. More stable ratios are easier to trade.

0.324

Correlation?Higher correlation is better for pair stability. Values close to 1 imply strong co-movement.

0.66

Half-life (days)?Estimated mean-reversion speed. Lower days mean faster reversion.

16.6

ADF p-value?Stationarity test on the spread. Lower is better; below 0.05 is preferred.

0.023

Quality27/100

FGrade

Signal?Signal is derived from z-score vs entry/exit thresholds. Long spread means long A and short B; short spread is the opposite.

Neutral

z = +0.45?Current standardized spread. Positive means A rich vs B; negative means A cheap vs B.

Entry threshold?Entry zone for trades. Higher absolute z means more extreme deviation.|z| ≥ 2.0

Exit threshold?Exit zone. When |z| returns near zero, the spread has mean-reverted.|z| ≤ 0.5

Distance to entry?How far the current |z| is from the entry threshold.1.55

Trade bias?Explicit long/short legs for the spread. Positive z implies A rich vs B; negative z implies A cheap vs B.No trade now. If z >= +2.0: short BKR, long SLB. If z <= -2.0: long BKR, short SLB. Size: 1x BKR vs 0.32x SLB.

Spread mechanics

Helpful for validation and monitoring.

Raw spread?Raw spread = A - γ·B in price space. Positive means A is rich vs B.
