Ever wondered how to trade without guessing market direction? 🤝
🔹 Pair trading means opening a long position on one coin and a short position on another that is historically connected to it.
🔹 A long is a bet on price growth, while a short is a bet on a price fall. In a pair, you hold both positions simultaneously.
🔹 Earnings come from the changing difference between the two coins, not from the overall market direction.
🔹 This is also called statistical arbitrage because it relies on statistics rather than an opinion on future price.
📊 Example: The market rises. Coin A goes up 3%, and Coin B goes up 1%. Your long on A gives +3%, and your short on B gives -1%. Result: +2% from the amount of one leg, before fees.
⚠️ Common mistake: Treating the pair as two separate trades. In reality, the outcome is determined solely by the difference between the two legs.
Have you tried trading a pair instead of a single coin? What confused you?
