We study the problem of dynamically trading a pair of futures contracts. We consider a two-factor mean-reverting model, where the spot price tends to evolve around its stochastic equilibrium that is also mean-reverting. We derive the futures price dynamics and determine the optimal futures...

We study the problem of dynamically trading futures in continuous time under a multifactor Gaussian framework. We present a utility maximization approach to determine the optimal futures trading strategy. This leads to the explicit solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. We...

We propose a model for analyzing dynamic pairs trading strategies using the stochastic control approach. The model is explored in an optimal portfolio setting, where the portfolio consists of a bank account and two co-integrated stocks and the objective is to maximize for a fixed time horizon,...
