Best Thread Correlation Trading - Basic Ideas and Strategies

pretty slow in truth looking back into the game ..........see how the 1 hr on a 20ma setting is showing the G8 currencies fairly tight and contained ?.........sure the GBP gave a little excitement earlier with a bull play (retrace on weeks action) but even thats back in the pack now .......

look at a few days back ...............now thats the divergence action we need to make some pippys !!

nice patterns into week end .........some tribal correlation allows one to make easy money

see how the european "tribe" all pull north together ? (CHF / EUR/GBP)

See how the USD stays sandwiched between the tribes ?

See AUD and NZD are sells

See how Yen and also CAD are sells ?

tribes ?..patterns ?...eh ?.......:whistling..................heres what some old dude was saying back in 2009 on this very thread ............cant stand him myself - he never gives anyone a straight answer....DAMMIT !! .......:cheesy:

Have a great weekend N

Looking forward to the footy tonight

I heard the Prime minister went to the training ground yesterday at Burton on Trent to wish the England team all the best for the World Cup

Whilst he was there he also had chance to have a word with all the young England hopefuls who were also training etc.

He asked the important question - who do you think should be the first name down on the England Team Sheet ???

The answer was unanimous ,,,,,,,,,,,,, - yes Cristiano Ronaldo

ROFL

i'll be in the US for the quarter finals onwards and for all of July (business & pleasure visit)...........................would love to be cheering the boys on from foreign climes ......it adds more flavour to the mix ..........and ive found on my travels that theres always a brit around when you need them :)

have good weekends

I have to chuckle at some newbies concerns .............

Taxable profits
Broker Fees

right ...........sure theses are important but a certain amount of carts before horses springs to mind ......and the many years you need to be learning to trade before those things really need to be addressed for the long haul............

finally got a chance to open the ole charts

hmmm...........missed a nice day so far ................Greenback is rollin north ..........strange pickings on the sells though ......

Yen , CAD , AUD...........a strange set of bedfellows ....europeans have stayed realtively strong ................so far

patterns not really that attractive to me .............for the moment anyway

hey all

from the 1hour chart below the red line is roughly where I was calling these potential trades from to direct lower TF scalping ..........in hindsight this was far to early a call on a rising NZD .............but as you can see the USD has in fact faded ...........and then the asian session allowed the AUD and NZD to romp to pole position(s) as the bull trades

so what about right now ?..........

hmmmmm

well from the last chart on 1 hour TF we see a bearish USD on 1 hours......a strong aussie team and weak Europeans...........cads weakest and Yen is also net bear........

I use this to try to call some scalps ...........but naturally things can change in literally minutes and also the news clearly is important

personally say for the next 30 mins ?

well I would be waiting on the europeans for a start ..........this is the london session now so volatility on the Aussie currencies should decrease gradually ...

I like the fact that the europeans are moving in a tight pack .............GOOD !

sure you can chase more gains on the aussies but its not as high a probability trade for me ......i would be looking for European divergence to the USD

not happening at the moment

still not much of interest to me to strike at

GBP showed some bullish noise ..........and I see perhaps the final demise of the aussies ....NZD much more bearish than AUD........but nothing really to bite into

ive gotta scoot anyway ............will pop back after the news releases later

hey all

USD staying weak ...........Europeans strengthening.............esp CHF and euro at present ...nice hour or so on those guys so far.......

cant get the AUD down can we .........thats an ominous sign of things to come

USD is obvious sell play if it starts falling again

N
