- Utilize the anomaly to research possible opportunities on Doubleflys around that anomaly
- Plot regression graphs on the combined Doublefly structure against different variables such as Outright price to visualize possible trades when the price of the structure is far away from the regression line
- Quantify “far away” by means of standard deviation and use this metric to identify other possible trades on any given day
- Back test profit and loss based on a future date value to forward test how the trade would have performed
- To find the best trades, perform a thorough statistical analysis and visualize the results using various filters, such as trade duration, structure type, standard deviations, etc.
