good pair trade

2016년 9월 23일I like a pair trade long x and short rock with the same dollar amount on both sides. A good entry would be
2.1 shares of x for every share of rock if you can catch the market when the prices are lined up that way.
just divide the price of rock by the price of x, and if you get anything close to 2.1, enter at the market.
as an example, you would short 100 shares of rock and buy 210 shares of x

so as of the close on 9/26. this trade was positive $366. today 9/27 it's going in the other direction. I decided to take profit at +$200. if both stocks pull back to the 10sma, I may reenter, or just look for a better situation
