    Im sure most of you have heard this before.

    Yes it is a statistic, but to trade off of it you should think twice.


    If the first 5 days are up,

    85% chance of an up year.

    If the first 5 days are down,

    47-50% of a down year.
     
  2. What do you do for the other 360 days of the year?

    Haha. All I meant was that if you find a relationship between two things, it doesn't mean that they are because of eachother.

    If the dollar is falling for instance, it affects every currency market in which it is a pair.

    If it is falling in one, it doesn't mean it is because it is falling in another, they just move together.
