Correlation Trading Strategy

Performance Metrics

Key metrics include Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, win rate, profit factor, and average trade duration. Compare against baseline strategies and adjust parameters based on out-of-sample results.

Risk Considerations

Risk management for correlation trading strategy addresses position limits, stop loss placement, correlation exposure, and worst-case drawdown scenarios. Regular monitoring prevents drift from intended behavior.

Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.
