The Pattern Day Trader rule died on June 4. The $25k barrier to day trading is gone.
But ~84% of day traders still lose money — that part didn't change.

The kicker: through both the dot-com crash (~-45%) and the 2008 crisis (~-55%), cointegration strategies kept climbing. Buy-and-hold investors lost half their capital. Twice.

Most pair-trading methods barely outperform just buying and holding the S&P 500.
That's the quiet finding from a 2015 peer-reviewed study.
One method was the exception. 🧵
Huck & Afawubo (2015), Applied Economics. 3 pair-trading methods tested on the full S&P 500, 2000-2011. 134 months. Including the 2008 crash. Costs in.
Distance & stationarity: ≈ S&P 500 returns.
Cointegration: 5.66%/month excess. 76% win rate. ~10× capital growth.
Same 11 years.
Live, 95-day out-of-sample test of pure market-neutral pair trading, 3 Feb–8 May 2026:
→ PTF Top 50: +18.7%
→ S&P 500: +6.0%
→ Barclay Hedge EMN: +0.2%

Pair traders — Joe Rogan just highlighted a wild study on Florida alligators with shrinking reproductive organs due to endocrine disruptors.
Turns out the same chemicals can quietly lower testosterone… which directly affects trading edge (risk tolerance, focus & grit).
