Cointegration
A statistical property where two assets share a long-run equilibrium; the foundation of Closelook's pair-trade methodology.
Cointegration is a statistical property where two assets share a long-run equilibrium relationship even if each wanders individually, so their spread tends to mean-revert. It is the foundation of Closelook's pair-trade methodology, distinguishing durable relationships from spurious correlation. See Cointegration 101 and the live Cointegration Monitor.
