The PipTick Pairs Spread indicator uses a popular strategy known as” pair trading”, spread trading, or statistical arbitrage. The indicator measures the distance (spread) between the prices of positively correlated instruments and shows the result as a curve with standard deviations. As a result, any trader can easily identify when the instruments are too far apart and use this information to trade.
The best results are achieved when the trade is opened approximately between the second and third standard deviation.
