Information ratio scales with the square root of the number of independent signals. Twenty signals with IR 0.5 each combine to an IR of 2.24. One signal at 0.5 stays at 0.5.
Our Statistical Arbitrage Strategy runs 20+ uncorrelated alphas from independent data sources: order book imbalances, funding rate dynamics, cross-exchange differentials, options skew signals, and momentum factors across dozens of altcoin pairs. No single alpha is dominant — intentionally.
Correlation between our Binance and OKX strategy returns is ~0.4. Combining both smooths the equity curve significantly, delivering the mixed portfolio IR of 3.83.
