What is Pair Trading?

You monitor stocks in pairs and when the two diverge away from each other you make a trade and exit when they converge.

Too short a stock means to sell it without prior owning it. If you expect the price of share to fall you can profit from this forecast by shorting the stock and buying it back at lower levels.
