Financial Engineering and High Frequency Trading have combined to create a completely different trading arena in virtually everything publicly traded such as stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and commodities. This program uses aspects of both to engage in arbitrage and spread trading in the international energy markets. Specifically energy futures contracts listed on The International Commodity Exchange known as ICE and energy futures contracts listed on NYMEX will be traded in this program. Since the program utilizes arbitrage and spread techniques it is always long contracts and short similar contracts on the same or other exchange. There may be a fractional amount of a contract net long or short due to rounding because the contract sizes on the two exchanges are not an equal match.
The essence of the program is to attempt to take advantage of both random and structural differences in the price movement in the spread between these contracts as opposed to trading the outright or flat price of the energy contacts. The program uses a mathematical model which reads live price data from the exchanges and creates an index which in turn generates buy and sell signals. Traders review these signals against a list of criteria and then utilize both traditional and high frequency trading venues to enter and exit transactions.
