Verse 1:

Stocks may dance in perfect tune,

When you check them late at noon.

But zoom in close, like tick by tick,

Their rhythm fades — it’s not so slick.

Verse 2:

Epps discovered something wild,

Correlations shrink and slide.

Shorter gaps, less harmony,

Trading times don’t always agree.

Chorus:

Short time, low vibe,

The stats don’t jive.

Zoom too close, and you’ll detect:

The fading beat of Epps Effect.

Verse 3:

Asynch trades and data blur,

Make the math less sure, for sure.

What looked tight in daily view,

Falls apart when seconds skew.

Verse 4:

Herds may move in sudden waves,

But not all stocks do same behave.

Time’s the trick that hides the link,

The closer you look, the more it shrinks.

Chorus:

Short time, low vibe,

The stats don’t jive.

Zoom too close, and you’ll detect:

The fading beat of Epps Effect.

Bridge:

It’s not a glitch, it’s how we trade,

A sync illusion that will fade.

So mind the clock when you connect,

And feel the pulse of Epps Effect!
