We’re saying goodbye — and looking ahead

After 15 years of serving our community, we’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue Pair Trading Lab. The service will be permanently shut down on Oct 1st, 2026. Until then, you can continue to access your account and use any tools as usual.

While this chapter is coming to an end, we’re preparing something new—and better—for the near future. We look forward to sharing more about our next product soon.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who used, supported, and helped shape Pair Trading Lab over the years. Thank you for being part of its story.

Questions & Answers / Java Issues With PTLTrader 1.7.0
« Last post by Dino Ulrich on June 23, 2026, 05:25:06 am »
Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this forum is still active, but I figured it was worth a shot. I have been trying to install PTLTrader version 1.7.0 on windows 10 (using the .msi file) but keep running into an error that says I do not have the proper Java version installed (Java 11 or newer). The issue is that I do in fact have Java 11 installed. After some back and forth with ChatGPT, I thought I had it figured out only to be met with the same error. Does anyone know the solution?

Thanks in advance.

Good & Bad Pairs / BUG ! ticker DRIP both US ETF and UK REIT plc / In sample and out of sample
« Last post by Claude Bastoen on September 27, 2024, 05:52:35 am »
1/ Issue of ticker : "DRIP" Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bear 2X Shares
"DRIP" Drum Income Plus REIT Plc
Same ticker
I need DRIP Oil & Gas ETF and get UK REIT plc with either oil&gaz or REIT quotes ...
Hard to make a pair !!!
DRIP appears to be UK REIT traded on LSE.

2/ Walk-forward : Despite i scrutinize closely yr 2016 tutorial video
"How to setup ETF pairs trading portfolio in 30 minutes" I am still confused with yr walk-forward and In-sample and out-of-sample parameter. Your demonstrator seems to play with database dates. Screen seems to be divided in two equal parts : on left hand "in-Sample period" and right hand "Out-of-sample" period.
Any optimization on "In-sample" period" ? Do you have a small explanation in order to execute it properly ?
Thks for yr comments.
I am very favorably  impressed by yr pair trading tool and testing it deeply, hoping to become a customer.
Have a nice day and regards
Claude, Paris

Introduce Yourself / French newcomer
« Last post by Claude Bastoen on May 28, 2024, 05:44:15 pm »
Bonjour,
I am a french newcomer near Paris.
I am searching since a long time a good algorithm to improve my retirement.
Till now I have been using Amibroker mainly thru rotational trading. ETF being my favorite value.
I discovered recently pair trading and yr system.
It seems probably to be an interesting, efficient and elegant approach.
I am discovering and testing  yr system before becoming "Premium".
I get interesting backtests, i need your lights to go further :

1/ Walk Forward : i did not find any parameters for automatic walk-forward : "In sample" and "Out of sample". Instead yr proposal is a plain 4 years and half backtest... For the time being i tried 1 year and 6 months in sample and 6 weeks to 2 months Out of sample.
By proposing a manual and long 4 and half years of in-sample you seem to advocate a long time mean value instead of adaptive which sticks to the market conditions

2/ Optimization : it is done manualy  a priori thru a choice of moving averages and Kalmann.

3/ In the trade log i find often "Timeout". That means the trade could not be done. i get often a big loss. How to avoid them ?

Regards
Claude
