Best Thread Correlation Trading - Basic Ideas and Strategies

i didnt trade much today but my fxcorrelator is always watching the markets ....

heres the default 20ma setting on a 1 hour

DUMB-ASS BASIC RULE #1
you sell currencies below the line and buy currencies above the line

DUMB-ASS BASIC RULE #2
if in doubt always pick the USD in your trades and ensure you only trade in the direction it is showing (above below the zero line)

so looking at below ...........what side is the GREEN USD ?? = Answer above the zero ...so we are looking to BUY usd in pairs ....in fact hunting it from yesterday ......

look at the 2 charts ..........ive been hunting Euro from yesterday .......the blue euro line is a nonstop sell below the zero right ? .....right ?

look at the Cable (GU) chart ..........when the red line falls below Zero SELL CABLE ...........and keep selling it !!!!

im not going to tell you how to suck eggs gang .............im sure you all have wonderful systems to identify trading your favourite pairs and i am not going to teach you that

but there is only a 28/1 chance you are trading the right pair at any time (See here)

http://www.trade2win.com/boards/for...-basic-ideas-strategies-2645.html#post3031096

in the last 24 hours or so all i have been hunting is EU sells and then GU sells as they appeared ........in fact i will normally trade below the i hour timeframe and scalp them on offered decent signals into the trend

BUT i am only focused on just 2 pairs out of the 28 on offer ...........so i am already in my opinion focused on 2 of the main pairs that matter !!!..the others are not offering these high probability trades .....so i ignore them .......

have a great evening :smart:

this morning for london ive been playing usd sells (based on 1hr 20ma FXcorrelator signals for usd)

europeans the buy ......both gbp and Euro have offered some half decent plays but its bloody scrappy so far

5 min charts below

its turning over now ....but i will still hang usd sells for a while yet ....its just that europeans are selling as well as usd now ............i Can chase AUD and Cad instead more at the moment

but I do prefer to play the european currencies into usd during london session

Strong USD / GBP

TUESDAY
weak CAD
Strong Yen / USD / CHF

weak Yen
Strong CAD / GBP

THURSDAY
weak NZD / GBP
Strong CAD / EURO / AUD

FRIDAY
Well - what do you see ? on chart .....

the EJ pair is THE best performing currency pair in the G8 so far from 7am BST......
