1. Open Robinhood → Futures.
  2. Place both legs below (same time — sell one contract, buy the other).
  3. Close when the spread normalizes (|z| drops near 0.5).
No trades right now. All pairs are inside the normal band (|z| < 2). Check back after the next scan.
On watch (3 pairs) — not wide enough to enter
Pair z Status
MES/ES -1.16 Gap not wide enough yet (z = -1.2, need |z| ≥ 2).
MGC/GC +1.04 Gap not wide enough yet (z = +1.0, need |z| ≥ 2).
MNQ/NQ +0.08 Gap not wide enough yet (z = +0.1, need |z| ≥ 2).

Research only — confirm live prices in Robinhood before you trade.

  • We compare related pairs (e.g. MES vs ES) and flag when the gap is unusually wide (|z| ≥ 2).
  • Trade now = wide gap + backtest passed (≥5 trades, ≥55% win, PF ≥ 1.15).
  • You profit if the spread snaps back — always enter both legs together.
