"We test an equity pairs trading strategy that uses historical return correlations to determine pairs...We find that a trading strategy that bets on this convergence generates... alphas of up to 36% annually for an equal-weighted [unlevered] portfolio.”
Empirical Investigation of an Equity Pairs Trading Strategy, Huafeng Chen, Shaojun Chen, Feng Li, September 2012
"Including transaction costs, robust strategies...are the following: Cointegration [pair trading selection method] whatever the length of the formation period or the opening trigger. Returns are especially high with monthly excess returns, including transaction costs, greater that 1.38% and going up to about 5% over a period of more than 10 years. These are clearly the main and most impressive empirical finding of this article.”
Pairs trading and selection methods: is cointegration superior? , Nicolas Huck & Komivi Afawubo, 2015

“Just to say how delighted I am with your product. For the first time in 10 years I am consistently profitable. If I can sort out my discipline and stick with the signals the results would be even better. Yours eternally grateful.”
- L. Koziol“I am very happy with the software and integrated into IB and think you guys have done a great job. I have already entered three trades and exited my first yesterday at a profit!”
- Greg C.“I used to Manage a Prop firm in the 80s, we had over 1000 traders. We did a lot of pair work back then. You have an excellent program. I’ve been testing your top 50 pairs for about a month or so and it is doing quite well.”
- M. Weiss“I have worked in the computer industry for over 30 years and I was a Beta Tester for AIQ software, also a stock trading and system development platform. Your product, PairTrade Finder PRO, has great potential. PRO's ability to crunch all the pairs possibilities is impressive. The ability to then monitor the trades in real time and alert to signals is also impressive. Your potential for success in the USA is great. Thanks!”
- William G.“The more time passes since I use PTF, the more I realize that it is the best software available for pair trading, especially after the latest changes that have greatly speeded up its operations...the program has a great capacity to select very profitable forex pairs.”
- Giuseppe C.“I have to say in 2 trades I DOUBLED THE MONEY I PAID YOU !! Thanks guys!”
- Chad K.“I have comprehensive results for the past 9 months using PTF that shows it is making a profit.”
- Leigh T.“I did my biggest profit this year with these two trades [two pairs from our Top 30 US Equities Pairs]...in total I'm in plus 4,7k USD this year with your system. Thanks for your support."
- J. Melichercik“ I am amazed that more people are not using your software...I have managed to make $8000 in the last 3 weeks. I credit that to you, your staff, the great videos and the excellent software. Let me say that I love your product and I intend on being a lifelong user. I am truly grateful.”
- Chris S.“I started pairs trading about 5 years ago and saw good results from it even though I did not understand it as well as I do now. My issue then was not having the time for all the analysis as my business took up a lot of time. It was very hard to find software to help. I now have more time on my hands and have spent a lot of time learning more about pairs trading. I am far more a chartist by skill with an understanding of financials than a gifted programmer who is a mathematician. I am far more interested in running a good system that makes money safely and pairs trading ticks that box. I think it is important to understand what you are doing and why it works. Pairs trading is easy to understand. It is a sound concept that is logic. I love trading, but I want to look after the money I have made. I do not want to stress about the next market crash. Pairs trading gives you peace of mind and opportunity to make money. Do it properly and you will make money. PTF PRO makes it easy to find pairs. Easy to analyse and is great with trading signals. Your videos and additional studies makes it easy to understand the graphs. It saves thousands of hours of work. I also use pairtradinglab, and other software like sharescope, but it is PTF that is the key to making it all work easily. I use the other software mainly for verification purposes and also to do research. My only fear with PTF is what happens to traders reliant on PTF if it gets withdrawn from the market. Thank you for creating PTF and sharing wealth with the man in the street!”
- Jeremy D.“I work as a Chartered Investment Adviser now (Fellow) - worked in the City as a stock broker, back in the day, and have done well out of pairs trading in the past. It is literally the only hedge strategy that works with any consistency. Very impressed with PTF - my only concern is becoming too reliant on it and then, for whatever reason, not having access to the platform in the future!”
- Russell H.“You've put together a hell of a tool here. And very reasonably priced for what it is. Nice job!”
- Matt W.“You have an extremely powerful tool...It is really an excellent software. You do excellent work and I am waiting for your next releases! Your latest update with fast parameters helped me to go one step ahead! It is very helpful to have such examples from your team (i.e faster or slower trades) because you know the system better than us! Keep up the good work! Congrats.”
- Christos A., Senior Portfolio Manager“Thanks a lot! You do great job with pairtradefinder software :) Your product is awesome! So happy that I find you. Best luck and long success in business! ”
- Arturas P.“Going great. And Support have been super. Stat arbitrage is well verified and mean reversion well understood.. What PTF does is all the grunt work. Saw no reason to paper trade. I understood intuitively what you were doing. I jumped right in and I am already up...Love it.”
- Richard T.“Really very nice software. All what is needed is actually here...I have tried pairtradinglab before one month and I think yours is more flexible and more adapt to really very nice pairs, availability of semi auto trading is also very helpful. ”
- Arthur P.“This is great – I definitely think you should do more content like this: Practical trading tips for managing trades...It's great to see PTF living and breathing, expanding and updating. Keep it up!”
- Henning R.“I need to say thank for this excellent software and opportunity with it!”
- Aleks B.“In terms of speed and response time, the difference between v2.0 and v138 is VERY impressive indeed!!! PTF PRO (v2.0) is...easily and swiftly zapping through new back tests even with a high number of symbols while providing audible and email alerts without much CPU usage terms (when monitored with Windows Task Manager).”

- N. Recchia“I use PairTrade Finder everyday. I also have been adopting into my trading program. Apart from the idea generation, I love the risk management aspect of kicking out trades bases either on performance or time stop. The results so far have been very encouraging. My approach has been to try and provide "sensible" inputs into the software so the trades makes a lot of sense.”
