# Manipulation of LIBOR during GFC

- real manipulation done by central bankers & way worse than traders who where jailed

# Relative values trades exemple

Long  ratio at 2
10% stp loss on ratio = 0.2
so stp loss at 1.8 on ratio
soft target = 0.2 * 3 = .6 = 2.6
when soft target hit buy short stop A short more stock B
roll up stp loss

ATR for spreads: take data for 10month of stock in spread
work out montly ATR
set stop loss as avg of the 2

For spread both stock can go up or down does not matter


If started positon half of max position can cut stp loss by half


Start by analysing Volatility ATR of the stock to set initial hard stp loss and soft target


When Vol spike higher secure profit
