A mean-reversion trading strategy using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process involves the following steps:
- Identifying a Mean-Reverting Asset: Find an asset whose price exhibits mean-reverting behavior.
- Estimating Parameters: Estimate the parameters of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process (mean, reversion speed, and volatility) using historical price data.
- Generating Trading Signals: Generate buy and sell signals based on the deviation of the asset's price from its mean. – Buy Signal: When the asset's price is significantly below the mean. – Sell Signal: When the asset's price is significantly above the mean.
- Risk Management: Implement stop-loss orders and position sizing to manage risk.
