Trading Connors Vix Reversals.pdf

Larry Connors is an experienced trader and publisher of trading research. Together with Linda Raschke, he wrote the book, Street Smarts, which is a solid collection of trading strategies including the Holy Grail.
However, his book, How Markets Really Work, is a great read. It has back-test results of trading strategies and price action behavior, including highs/lows, VIX, put/call ratio and more. It presents the results clearly in nice tables to show you how markets really work.
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

We show that an equity pairs trading strategy generates large and significant abnormal returns. We find that two components of the trading signal (short term reversal and pairs momentum) have different dynamic and cross-sectional properties. The pairs momentum is largely explained by the one month version of the industry momentum. Therefore, the pairs trading profits are largely explained by the short term reversal and a version of the industry momentum.
