EURCHF mean reverting startegy

Course Name: Mean Reversion Strategies In Python, Section No: 4, Unit No: 1, Unit type: Video



Hi,have a question about mean reverting strategies on EURCHF: if we apply the ADF test to the EURCHF cross the null hypothesis is not rejected, in practice the EURCHF series is not stationary and therefore does not have a reverting character. Why do we apply a mean reverting strategy to a series that isn't? thanks. bye

Hi Luca



You are indeed right! We shouldn't have done that. EURCHF is not stationary. Thank you for pointing it out. We will ensure that it is updated in the course as well.
