Trading the Spread / Delta1

[rvtrader10]

Hi All,
I would like to explore more the relative value/spread trading world. Can anyone please give me some clues about interesting strategies in this space? i.e. dax vs eurostoxx based on annual and daily volatility of the futures.

Thank you all!

What sorts of clues are you looking for, exactly?

 

[rvtrader10]

Just typical examples of spread trading/possible ideas to research further. I understand the subject is really wide indeed, but any sort of suggestion (even bizarre) will be deeply appreciated!

Many thanks!

Well, linear regression would seem like a natural place to start, methinks.

look at pairs trading, it is a similar style of strategy

I would rather keep it at the indices level, without getting involved with single names stocks.
Do you think there is still some alpha to extract there?
On the other side, I am looking to play a wide range of instruments, eventually falling in the options space too.
