Realistic Win Rate and Earnings: Expectations for Average Traders Using PairTrade Finder®
PTF PRO is designed for EOD trading, not intraday, though Entry and Exit signals are generated in real-time throughout the day
If you watch our Webinar (signup at www.pairtradefinder.com), you can see that there is substantial research that backs up about 2-4% per month from pairs trading, more if leverage is employed and results hold. So for every $10,000 in account equity, that would equate to $200-$400/month based on the returns outlined in the research. Average trade duration is usually about 10 days. Win rate depends on each pair for which you backtest! In general our out-of-sample (live trading signals) usually display a win rate in excess of 67%+.
Here are some links to blog posts that analyse the out-of-sample results of the trading signals on our Top 30 U.S. Equities Pairs or our FAST 50 U.S. Equities Pairs:
