Pairs trading with topological data analysis

By Sourav Majumdar
Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India


Abstract:
In this paper we propose a pairs trading strategy using the theory of topological data analysis. The proposed strategy is model-free. We use the proposed approach to set the pairs trade initiation and closing threshold. We examine the profitability of the proposed strategy on high-frequency data from the National Stock Exchange in 2018. We also compare the method to a distance based method for pairs trading. We find that the proposed approach is more profitable and profitable for more number of pairs than the distance based method.
