  1. Out of the following pairs:
    AUD/USD
    AUD/JPY
    EUR/JPY
    EUR/USD
    GBP/JPY
    GBP/USD
    USD/CAD
    USD/CHF
    USD/JPY

    I notice that from all those pairs many have the same chart structure i.e. 5 of them look the same : AUD/USD , AUD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY

    I personally decided not to trade them all but just pick one of them since they will moving in the same direction.


    the other are not has much corrolated in price structure.
    EUR/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF

    see the picture below

  6. Natawadee,
    I just wanted to see why you are so sarcastic when I am only
    sharing something that maybe other newbies in Forex might
    not have noticed.

    You posted 33 posts so I wanted to see you contribution. Well, below is a refresh of a few of your posts... I think you should ask yourself why you are so corrosif with other .

  7. You obviously have WAY too much time on your hands and need thicker skin if you ever plan on making it in this business Pierre.

    Corrosif
     
  8. There's a useful overlay tool for MT4 here, it's interesting to compare correlation over various time frames.

    There are probably similar tools for other charting packages.

    Apart from filtering out which pairs to trade, how else could it be used? Does any pair lead another pair often enough to be useful?

    You can take the same side of 2 low correlated pairs & close when in overall profit. Similar to pair trading.
     
  10. So a kind of hedge? Something like short Eur/Usd and short Usd/Chf and hope they go out of sync in your favor?

    How about triangular arbitrage, people say there aren't many opportunities any more, has anyone tried it lately?
