外汇网2021-06-19 13:47:24 148

An investment strategy that attempts to profit from the differences between actual and theoretical futures prices of the same stock index. This is done by simultaneously buying (or selling) a stock index future while selling (or buying) the stocks in that index.

This is done with program trading. Using software that monitors both a stock index and futures contracts on the index, traders can be notified when there is a larger than normal gap.
