question about pair finding on the website
« on: May 26, 2020, 12:28:41 am »
Hi, I have a simple question. What is the period of the data used to find pairs and their parameters on the "Pair Database" page of the website? What changes if I select "Database Version" = 2020-04-01 or 2020-01-01 ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Willian,

the pair database uses period of 3 years. It is recalculated every quarter and we keep few versions to the past. So if you select version 2020-01-01, it means period between 2017-01-01 .. 2020-01-01...

More info: https://wiki.pairtradinglab.com/wiki/Pair_Database

Kind regards,
Karel

Thanks for the answer Karel. I also would like to know what is data framing used (1 min, 1 day or any other) or if tick-by-tick data is used. Could you help me with this question ?

Thanks iin advance.
