This is not originally written by me, it was written by Vahid, about Pair Currency Correlation, I would like to Thanks To Vahid for his great Job to write this article, Because not a lot of Trader wanna share a great Thread like this, another thing a lot of traders thought this is a money maker machine on this industry so they just keep it for their self.
As a forex trader, if you check several different currency pairs to find the trade setups, you should be aware of the currency pairs correlation, because of two main reasons:
1- You avoid taking the same position with several correlated currency pairs at the same time and so you do not multiply your risk. Additionally, you avoid taking the positions with the currency pairs that move against each other, at the same time. 2- If you know the currency pairs correlations, it may help you to predict the direction and movement of a currency pair, through the signals that you see on the other correlated currency pairs.
