Best Thread Correlation Trading - Basic Ideas and Strategies

see how fickle the markets are scalping

see how the CAD and aUD lower charts suddenly disconnect from usd falls ?

that's why trading is soooo hard and you have to see the individual currencies for a better picture

hi NVP,
NO needs to change any thing just point out a bug that was looking awkward in pretty thread,lol.
i have a question regarding correlation matter ?
usually in correlation indicators (pair} price line is calculated in conjunction with that particular pair (because 7 pairs with 7 lines} for example in EURUSD price is calculated how EUR is declining or increasing against USD,if EUR is increasing here against USD,at the same time EUR might be decreasing its value against some other currency,for example GPB or AUS,not because of that EUR is increasing/decreasing its value,might be EUR is still at same price in real but because of other currencies (USD/GPB} might be going up or down,so my question is......which one indicator give us a currency original price,real price with out any conjunction with any currency and from where it will be get data for latest rate and how it will be refresh data at every tick,is there any central exchange where prices are decided or every currency get data from its own country central bank.....thanks
regards
 
ok scooting soon .....made a few this morning before work ............all helps !

heres the usd today / this week ..chart 1 .....the MAJOR S/R lines are really where I can get most bang for my bucks ..........so yesterday if I had been trading in the afternoon I would have got hard on the USD as it tested the lows of the week again ..........any bull usd pairings at that time paid dividends !

chart 2 and 3 were my last attempts to trade today ............see how I tried to anticipate a bounce from USD off the Support line ?

didn't happen ...............but then it doesn't most of the time ............my job is to anticipate ambush positions before they happen .....then set the trap (ie pick my probable G7 partners to the USD) .....and then wait ............

if it fail move on to the next position / ambush ...............you have to think a few steps ahead in trading and especially scalping :smart:

ok later all ...have a good day

hey there M

there isn't really an exchange or set formula that tells you an exact price for a currency .........its not like a stock price ............its all about creating the best representation for your own purposes ....by using a combination of all the pair prices for that particular currency (eg create a euro price by averaging all the Euro pairs..........)

you will see ETF's offering most of the majors ..........and the USD index is famous .............

besides the absolute price is not as important an the relativity of that price to the others ...

long story .............

the price of 1 currency will only be the same in relative terms if the total % movements of the other currencies you are comparing it to = Zero

otherwise it will have changed in value + or negative based on adding all the +/- % change values together of the others

trading any set of currencies defined is always a Zero sum game :smart:

my FXCorrelator indicator available here free always adds up to Zero if you add up all the values of the G8 currencies
