Hi NVP
I read your interesting thread in the early days, but lost touch this year and won't pretend I've read it all. For lazy people like myself, I'm just wondering when US30 entered the corrie picture, because I don't remember it being part of the original plan?
Hi R
the relationship is in there back on the early threads........Kinda !

I used to generally bypass this relationship by just saying trade signals when the Tag team (US and Yen) crossed the same side of the Zero lines on the 20ma or whatever other corrie you were using as these guys were generally bosom buddies and it seemed simpler
i'm getting fussy in my old age and am trying to tighten up some deffinitions....the usd has become much weaker than the USD and also CHF has entered the arena much more as a (3rd) Carry play currency now that the Swiss bankers have loosened its collar
this all adds to me being more fussy on my own plays and I urge peole to be as disciplined
So as stated always look for some decent (inverse) correlation on the Yen and the USD with the Dow to justify trading those guys with other currencies......this will limit trading signals significantly though if yuo go purist on it
the last example was on the overnights when the US30 got very bullish above its 20mas on the 15,1H and 4h timeframes and the Tag team obliged with lovely falls !
heres the 4h charts summing up what I try to look for......actually the CHF is correlating better re falling than the others recently !
interesting that the USD and the Yen have been bullish recently off of a ranging/bullish US30.....the Yen is nooo surprise re that but the USD is actually strengthening a little at the moment...........
i'm not holding my breath on that continuation but a classic example of when if every trader has sell positions on USD.........then it can only rise !
