      Introduction

      This article explores a simple method of making stock exchange profits from statistical arbitrage. This technique worked very well for me for months until I disobeyed some of my own basic rules and I then withdrew this article from Kindle. I want to be honest with you. I now believe that Trading is ultimately a Zero Sum game. In fact I specify this as one of the Sins in my article The 7 Deadly Stock Market Sins.

Only on that basis should you consider purchasing this article.
