A Simple Arbitrage Strategy to Stock Market $$$
()
About this ebook
[Important note: This article explores a simple method of making stock exchange profits from statistical arbitrage. This technique worked very well for me for months until I disobeyed some of my own basic rules and I then withdrew this article from Kindle. I want to be honest with you. I now believe that Trading is ultimately a Zero Sum game. In fact I specify this as one of the Sins in my article The 7 Deadly Stock Market Sins. If you don’t agree with me this, and are proving me wrong, and believe you can prove me wrong for as long as you continue to trade in the stock market, then you may wish consider the strategy set out in this article. Only on that basis should you consider purchasing this article]

There is a favorite line from my novella Dinner Party For Eight in which Angela asks Harry:“What do you think I am?”Harry considered this for a moment. What was she actually?“Well I suppose you are a very beautiful cook.”So if I have to answer the same question what am I actually? I would also need to consider this for a moment. I would like to say I’m an ex astronaut, have more degrees than a thermometer, have competed in the Tour de France without any EPO, surfed Teahupoo in Tahiti and emerged unscathed, sailed round the world, am an ace Alpine skier, am a member of Mensa, have a beauty queen wife and gorgeous kids, and started my own corporation which has listed on NASDAQ. I could go on but like Arnold Schwarzenegger I don’t want to boast.Well to be honest, I have gone some of the way towards all those things. I do have a letter from Wernher von Braun, I do have three degrees in Physics, I have flown in a jet plane (Emirates Air), I do cycle the mega steep hills here where I live but unfortunately can’t get EPO anywhere, I am a keen surfer who has almost managed to break his neck, I am an ocean going skipper and I did own my own yacht though if it was me I wouldn’t sail with me as captain, I do ski but you need to get out of the way, I do have a beautiful wife (though her agreeing to marry me has to be my biggest piece of luck ever) and two great kids, I do have my own software business but no stock exchanges alas and I would like to take the Mensa test but I’m pretty sure I would fail and then I wouldn’t be able to live with that so I would rather rationalize. I live in that sapphire city – Cape Town.

Preamble
No, you don’t need to be a Quant to use this method.
Sure, the Quants may have massive computing power at their fingertips yet the essence of the method is simplicity itself.
What’s more it’s great fun.
Actually, the real work is the setting up and learning the platform to execute the trades.
Whilst I discuss my implementation using a specific brokers system and tools, of course there are plenty of other platforms you can consider or even may be using right now.
The basis of the method
