Z-Score Stat Trading — Statistical Pairs Trading Indicator
📊🔗

---

What is it?
Z-Score Stat Trading is a powerful indicator for statistical pairs trading and quantitative analysis of two correlated assets.
It calculates the Z-Score of the log-price spread between any two symbols you choose, providing both long-term and short-term Z-Score signals.
You’ll also see real-time correlation, volatility, spread, and the number of long/short signals in a handy on-chart table!

---

How to Use 🛠️

1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Select two assets (symbols) to analyze in the settings.
3. Watch the Z-Score plots (blue and orange lines) and threshold levels (+2, -2 by default).
4. Check the info table for:
- Correlation
- Volatility
- Spread
- Number of long (NL) and short (NS) signals in the last 1000 bars
5. Set up alerts for signal generation or threshold crossings if you want to be notified automatically.

Trading Strategy 💡

- This indicator is designed for statistical arbitrage (mean reversion) strategies.
- Long Signal (🟢):
When both Z-Scores drop below the negative threshold (e.g., -2), a long signal is generated.
→ Buy Symbol A, Sell Symbol B, expecting the spread to revert to the mean.
- Short Signal (🔴):
When both Z-Scores rise above the positive threshold (e.g., +2), a short signal is generated.
→ Sell Symbol A, Buy Symbol B, again expecting mean reversion.
- The info table helps you quickly assess the frequency of signals and the current statistical relationship between your chosen assets.

---

Best Practices & Warnings 🚦

- Avoid high leverage! Pairs trading can be risky, especially during periods of divergence. Use conservative position sizing.
- Check for cointegration: Before using this indicator, make sure both assets are cointegrated or have a strong historical relationship. This increases the reliability of mean reversion signals.
- Check correlation: Only use asset pairs with a high correlation (preferably 0.8–0.9 or higher) for best results. The correlation value is shown in the info table.
- Scale in and out gradually: When entering or exiting positions, consider doing so in parts rather than all at once. This helps manage slippage and risk, especially in volatile markets.

⚠️ Note on Performance:
This indicator may work a bit slowly, especially on large timeframes or long chart histories, because the calculation of NL and NS (number of long/short signals) is computationally intensive.
