Abstract

Pairs trading under the copula approach is revisited in this paper. It is well known that financial returns arising from indices in markets may not follow the features of normal distribution and may exhibit asymmetry or fatter tails, in particular. Due to this, the Laplace distribution is employed in this work to fit the marginal distribution function, which will then be employed in a copula function. In fact, a multivariate copula function is constructed on two indices (based on the Laplace marginal distribution), enabling us to obtain the associated probabilities required for the process of pairs trade and creating an efficient tool for trading.
