Trading Model with Pair Pattern Strategies

A simple trading model based on pair pattern strategy space with holding periods is proposed. Power-law behaviors are observed for the return variance $σ^2$, the price impact $H$ and the predictability $K$ for both models with linear and square root impact functions. The sum of the traders' wealth displays a positive value for the model with square root price impact function, and a qualitative explanation is given based on the observation of the conditional excess demand $<A|u>$. An evolutionary...
