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.

-1.28

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

1.522

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

0.73

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

12.4

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

0.009

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

Watching

z = -1.28?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.0.72
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 KKR, long RJF. If z <= -2.0: long KKR, short RJF. Size: 1x KKR vs 1.52x RJF.

Model diagnostics

Spread mechanics

Helpful for validation and monitoring.

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

-135.3656

Price-space spread

Residual spread?Residual spread = residual(A) - (alpha + gamma · residual(B)). Market-neutralized via index regression.

-0.078853

Market-neutral residual spread

Pair intercept?OLS intercept for the pair regression. Closer to 0 is cleaner.

Rolling corr std (21d)?Rolling correlation variability. Lower values indicate more stable pairs.
