A simple trading model based on pair pattern strategy space with holding periods is proposed. Power-law behavior is observed for the return variance σ², the price impact H and the predictability K for both models, with linear and square root impact functions. The sum of the traders’ wealth displays a positive value for the model with a square root price impact function,...
