Arbitrage
Arbitrage and relative-value strategies compare related prices, contracts, spreads, and events to test whether a tradable mispricing exists after costs and risk.
Trading terms for tactical positioning, strategy testing, trader styles, and position-risk choices.
Trading strategies pages cover how traders select, size, adjust, test, and exit positions.
Use this section for broad trader styles, position-risk controls, and systematic testing. Options spreads live with derivatives, technical indicators live under technical analysis, and quote or order mechanics live under market structure.
Use this hub for strategy terms that cut across stocks, futures, currencies, and derivatives rather than belonging to one instrument family or one execution rule.
Use Strategy Styles and Trader Types when the question is about broad trading approach or trader role. Use Position Entry, Exit, and Risk Controls when the term changes opening, sizing, hedging, closing, or measuring a position. Use Margin and Leveraged Trading when borrowed exposure, buying power, eligibility, or margin calls drive the risk.
Use Systematic Testing and Signal Strategies when the controlling issue is backtesting, forward testing, quantitative rules, or signal design. Use Arbitrage and Relative Value Strategies when the position depends on a spread, convergence trade, pricing relationship, or market-neutral logic.
Before treating a strategy label as useful, identify the market, instrument, holding period, signal rule, entry trigger, exit rule, position size, margin requirement, liquidity constraint, and failure condition. A strategy name is not enough; the actual decision record should show what is bought or sold, when it is adjusted, and how losses are contained.
Step back to Trading when the issue is mainly instrument selection, venue mechanics, chart terminology, options structure, futures delivery, or FX-market convention.
Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.
