spreads. Again, to trade these types of spreads as price ratios, the spreads would be implemented so
|
||||
the contract values of each side are approximately equal, a condition that will be achieved when the
|
||||
contract ratio between the indexes is equal to the inverse of the contract value ratio.
|
||||
Figures 32.1 through 32.6 illustrate the contract value ratios for these six spread pairs during
|
||||
2002–2015. In some cases, such as the S&P 500/dow spread, the contract value ratio does not vary
|
||||
much. As can be seen in Figure 32.1 , the contract value ratio for this pair ranged by a factor of only
|
||||
about 1.2 from low to high over the entire period. For other index pairs, however, the contract value
|
||||
ratio ranged widely. For example, Figure 32.4 shows that during the same period, the high Nasdaq/
|
||||
dow contract value ratio was nearly 2.5 times the low ratio. Since the contract ratio required to keep
|
||||
the trade neutral to equal percentage price changes in both markets is equal to the inverse of the
|
||||
prevailing contract value ratio, the appropriate contract ratio for these spreads can range widely over
|
||||
time. For example, for the aforementioned Nasdaq 100/dow ratio, a three-contract dow position
|
||||
would have been balanced by a seven-contract Nasdaq position when the contract value ratio was at
|
||||
its low versus only a three-contract position (rounding up) when the ratio was at its high.
|
||||
Figures 32.7 through 32.12 illustrate the price ratios for the six stock index pairs during the same
|
||||
period, along with an overlay of one of the indexes to facilitate visually checking of the relationships
|
||||
between the index price ratio and the overall stock market direction. Note that the price ratios
|
||||
in Figures 32.7 through 32.12 are identical in pattern to the contract value ratios in Figures 32.1
|
||||
through 32.6 , which is a consequence of the contract value ratio being equal to the price ratio times
|
||||
a constant—the constant being equal to the ratio of the multipliers for the indexes.
