Best Thread Correlation Trading - Basic Ideas and Strategies

frustrating again .........usd bounces north but this time the damn yen takes hits..........i'm not a fan of U/J

grrrrrrr
 
looks like the usd bull push has stalled..............could be looking a more falls now into new week
 
usd still selling as mentioned in last post - pressure point coming as usd heads towards weeks low on usd ............buckle up
 
hmmmmmmmmm we could be going into chop phase now on usd ..............back later
 
regardless of the usd I must say the AUD is having a great bull run at moment ..........when you get a nice mover it doesn't matter what you trade against it .......
 
back again for a while ....


well I see the usd is still grinding north slowly since late Asian session .......naturally cycling as all currencies do ....during this period plenty of currencies have been happy to short.......euro, chf,cad .....etc etc

its about 60% retraced no on Fridays close

I see a nice bull run on usd did develop...........Europeans took the hits (y)

back again .............so the usd continues to sell .................this demise started around the 23rd October................and looks like continuing

GBP has mullered it the most in that period ..........

Hi N

Finished for the day now - been a good one

Have a look what the "student " did today on a live account ;-)

I will be asking for new tips off him next

That could be you in a few months N - but we would have to control you and stop doing over 500 scalps a day ( sorry week lol )

Hope you have had a good day and its all clicking into place

Regards

hey all

apologies again.......I have been out and about talking to agencies about jobs and also a couple of F2F interviews with companies..........

I see that the USD continued its rise through the Asian session overnight and then from early London took some hits ..still is ......

the free fxcorrelator chart (available in links below in sig area) remember is a momentum based indicator..........set on the default 20ma (chart 1 Below) just because the green line is falling overnight that's momentum falling..........the usd index in fact only really started falling around 8am (see chart 2)

the higher you set the ma the more realistic the moves are vs real world......use a 500ma (chart 2) on a lower TF setting if you want some granularity on currency true directions bar by bar

a 500ma on a 5min = roughly a 40ma on a 1 hr ...........so don't try to see if the crossovers appear at the same times on these charts ............they wont
