OverSpread

Start a scan

The first thing to do is to start scanning the titles. From the New menu – & gt; OverSpread Scanner opens the Select Symbols window.

Here you need to add the assets you want to scan (Add Symbols) or the asset lists (Load List). It is advisable to have the assets that are of interest in a list in order to speed up the procedure for future uses. To do this there is the Save List button and in any case once clicked ok it asks if you want to save the list.

Then the timeframe is chosen. If you are using the OverSpread with options it is advised not to go below the hourly timeframe.

Data on Market Session if activated it filters the historical data requested to the broker according to the market to which each asset belongs, it can be used for example if the broker also provides historical after hour data. While Import Data, once the asset has been selected, offers the possibility of importing historical data in * .beehist format (saved with beeTrader) and then integrating those in possession.

At the end of the scan beeTrader asks whether to display all the pairs, or only better ones. The best ones are obtained by applying the filter

Cointegration >= 0.6

Historical Bars >= 1300

Ratio Profit Opt./Std. <= 1.5

Standard Profit / Loss% > = 10

Z-Score Last Value >= 2.0 (absolute value)
