We have several strategies to operate in the cryptocurrency field, namely, statistical arbitrage strategy and intraday trend strategy.
Crypto Systematic Trading Fund
There 3 kinds of crypto systematic trading fund we use.
The first one is trend tracking, we use a large number of different technical indicators to find current market trends, and make directional investments based on the trend. The strategy is intraday high frequency, and the position is managed according to the strength of the trend signal. The strategy can be long or short, and it can be profitable whether in a bull market or a bear market.
The second one is statistical arbitrage. The strategy finds the most relevant currencies, and then finds the long-term equilibrium relationship (cointegration relationship) of each pair of currencies. When the spread of a pair of currencies (residual error of the cointegration equation) deviates to Start building a position at a certain level—buy a relatively undervalued currency and wait until the price difference returns to equilibrium to close the position to make a profit.
The third one is futures spot arbitrage. Futures arbitrage refers to a certain type of futures contract. When there is a price gap between the futures market and the spot market, it takes advantage of the price gap between the two markets to buy low and sell high for profit. In theory, the futures price is the future price of the commodity, and the spot price is the current price of the commodity. According to the same price theory in economics, the difference between the two is the “basis” (basis = spot price-futures price). Equal to the holding cost of the commodity. Once the basis deviation and the cost of holding are large, there is an opportunity for cash arbitrage.
