For our loyal readers and members you will know how we feel about pair trading in highly volatile markets without a real trend in place.

Since September 1st our members have enjoyed +30% gains, which +12.75% have been derived from pair trades. This is vs. The S&P 500 +3.48% gain for the same time period.
