We perform an extensive and robust study of the performance of three different pairs trading strategies—the distance, cointegration and copula methods—on the entire US equity market from 1962 to 2014 with time-varying trading costs. For the cointegration and copula methods, we design a computationally efficient two-step pairs trading strategy. pairs trading strategy using the minimum Distance method in selecting pairs and thresholding two standard deviations for pairs trading. They found that in spite of considering trading costs and risk factors, an annual return of 11% is achieved.

Comprehensive empirical studies on pairs trading have investigated its profitability over the long-term in the US market using the distance method, co-integration, and copulas. They have found that the distance and co-integration methods result in significant alphas and similar performance, but their profits have decreased over time. Pro fitability of such strategies is consistent with cointegration, but cointegration is not a necessary condition for pairs trading to work. Instead, it is quite likely that pairs trading pro fits arise because over shorter time spans, asset prices on occasion move together. Research is categorized into five groups: The distance approach uses nonparametric distance metrics to identify pairs trading opportunities. The cointegration approach relies on formal cointegration testing to unveil stationary spread time series. The time‐series approach focuses on finding optimal trading rules for mean‐reverting spreads. The stochastic control approach aims at identifying optimal portfolio holdings in the legs of a pairs trade relative to other available securities. To implement pairs trading, three main approaches are often used: distance approach, cointegration approach and stochastic approach. The distance approach is model-free and therefore avoids misestimating of parameters. Cointegration is also criteria for a pairs trade, and cointegration is oftentimes the more reliable strategy for successful pairs trading. Cointegration describes the distance between the two assets in price over time, whereas correlation describes the tendency to move in similar directions.

Fifth, the manuscript proves the strategy's profitability in the context of cryptocurrencies in. 3 using a two-stage correlation and cointegration approach.

For the cointegration and copula methods, we design a computationally efficient two-step pairs trading strategy. In terms of economic outcomes, the distance, cointegration and copula methods show a mean monthly excess return of 91, 85 and 43 bps (38, 33 and 5 bps) before transaction costs (after transaction costs), respectively.
