Cross Correlation [Kioseff Trading]

4 thg 9, 2023

Hello!

This script "Cross Correlation" calculates up to ~10,000 lag-symbol pair cross correlation values simultaneously!

• Cross correlation calculation for 20 symbols simultaneously
  
• +/- Lag Range is theoretically infinite (configurable min/max)
  
• Practically, calculate up to 10000 lag-symbol pairs
  
• Results can be sorted by greatest absolute difference or greatest sum
  
• Ability to "isolate" the symbol on your chart and check for cross correlation against a list of symbols
  
• Script defaults to stock pairs when on a stock, Forex pairs when on a Forex pair, crypto when on a crypto coin, futures when on a futures contract.
  
• A custom symbol list can be used for cross correlation checking
  
• Can check any number of available historical data points for cross correlation
  

Practical Assessment

Ideally, we can calculate cross correlation to determine if, in a list of assets, any of the assets frequently lead or lag one another.

Example

Say we are comparing the log returns for the previous 10 days for SPY and XLU.

*A single time-interval corresponds to the timeframe of your chart i.e. 1-minute chart = 1-minute time interval. We're using days for this example.

(Example Results)

A lag value (k) +/-3 is used.

The cross correlation (normalized) for k = +3 is -0.787
The cross correlation (normalized) for k = -3 is 0.216

A positive "k" value indicates the correlation when Asset A (SPY) leads Asset B (XLU)

A negative "k" value indicates the correlation when Asset B (XLU) leads Asset A (SPY)

A normalized cross correlation of -0.787 for k = +3 indicates an "adequately strong" negative relationship when SPY leads XLU by 3 days.

When SPY increases or decreases - XLU frequently moves in the opposite direction 3 days later.

A cross correlation value of 0.216 at k = −3 indicates a "weak" positive correlation when XLU leads SPY by 3 days.

There's a slight tendency for SPY to move in the same direction as XLU 3 days later.

After the cross-correlation score is normalized it will fall between -1 and 1.

A cross-correlation score of 1 indicates a perfect directional relationship between asset A and asset B at the corresponding lag (k).

A cross correlation of -1 indicates a perfect inverse relationship between asset A and asset B at the corresponding lag (k).

A cross correlation of 0 indicates no correlation at the corresponding lag (k).

Wrapping Up

With this information, hopefully you can find some meaningful lead-lag relationships amongst assets!

Thank you for checking this out (:
