Having someone explaining how correlation trading actually works is awesome. I'm really looking forward to getting answers to average correlation in a particular time frame and what should be a good strategy to anticipate the movements.

I took a look through all the latest Youtube trading videos yesterday and once again had some real laughs ..some of the stuff is so bad its good ......and 99.9% of it is in truth oversold garbage....a few gems here and there but mainly entertainment at best .......dont go there !!!

but for beginners new to trading I must sympathise ....I've been lucky enough to be around trading floors since the early 80s and was already a seasoned gambler in my teens ....so I was never exposed to the oversold garbage and hype that you guys are seeing ......I got trained by the best and kept learning these last 40 years ....with forex my speciality the last 21 years

please please do your due diligence and seek out all the excellent free stuff that the internet and google provides

I am happy to provide links to half decent websites and free courses to get you rolling ...so PM me .....dont do anything till you've done this for a few months plus playing with demo accounts

you will save $000s by doing it yourself ......maybe until such time you need a mentor or a decent specialist course that suits you ......but by then you will KNOW what you are looking for ......not paying scammers to sell you stuff they got for free and just consolidated it ......they cant make money trading so sell stuff instead .....Truth

My fixstart indicator on chart is available here for £15 donation to charity

as the stock market saw some jitters this week 3 main currencies hit the headlines as Bull Plays

Yellow yen
Green USD
Gray CHF

these are the 3 classic currencies to buy in a stock dip and to sell when markets boom
and they didn't disappoint this week .....all going to +200 pips

Bears
only Brown Cad really took a beating......pushing -270 pips at times ...ouch !

Trade of the week was Selling CAD in to any of the 3 bull currencies already mentioned
UCAD alone moved up over 3% on week at highs (some 400 pips)

my Stable of Strengthmeter indicators gives me tremendous and immediate insight into the FX market and has allowed me an edge for the last 21 years ....no magic boxes and no circus tricks

I try to cut through the Trading BS that is seen on most Trading Forums and Social media these days ....

BULLS
ok week for Turquoise NZD and Red GBP both hitting +120 pips by week-end,
Orange AUD and Brown CAD also did ok ....

BEARS
Massive Yellow yen selloff this week (AGAIN) to -310 pips by Friday and it sold off every single day
Thats big Action for a week ...massive "Risk on" trades being made across the markets ...

Nothing else came close as a Bear ...Green USD a poor secondary Seller

Trade of week ?

Anything Selling Yen was a massive winner ....easy money on all Timeframes
if you were trading anything else than you were not watching the full G8 market
(Have i taught you guys anything in the last 11 years ?...hahahaha)

my Strengthmeters give me a tremendous insight into the FX market (especially in a week like this) and provided me with a strong statistical edge for the last 21 years ....no magic boxes / no circus tricks

Not sure if I'm on the correct wavelength or not but seem to be getting the hang of things.

- GBP weak for the session on Fixstart.
- Wait until USD index returns bull above 7ma, FXCorrelator also agrees.
- Enter sell position, SL 1ATR, TP1 1ATR, Close 50% Move to BE, TP2 2ATR.

slowish week after Yens drama last week ....

BULLS
ok week for Turquoise NZD and Orange AUD ... both hitting around +70 pips by week-end,

BEARS

Yellow yen had a smaller selloff this week to -80 pips by Wednesday ...then bounded Back
Green USD, Brown CAD, Grey CHF and even a late run by Red GBP all got down at times as well

but pretty quiet in truth for action .....

Trade of week ?

Anything Selling Yen and even USD into the NZD and AUD was ok to Wednesday , then some decent reversals in play to Friday .....classic Divergence / Convergence week vs opens

my Strengthmeters have given me a tremendous insight into the FX market for the last 21 years ....no magic boxes / no circus tricks or Gimmicks ....

HEY Adrian ....!!!

the highlighted Red GBP had a very low profile week ...it never really caught fire at all in a direction ...but very choppy !
(chart1 1hr bars)....in truth if i were trying to get a pullback trade into GBP using a 7ma FXCorrelator it was impossible

i was focused on selling Yen and USD in pairs against the strong Aussie currencies to midweek ...then wasnt so interested after that (plus busy on a few projects)

lower TFs on actual sessions (Asian/European / USA) would have been more profitable

send me some more posts of what you did here ...good for everyone to see

if you are making money by identifying the currencies moving ...then you are already halfway there !

well done
