chamane replied Sep 9, 2009I'm in with AUDUSD/EURUSD, CHFJPY/EURJPY and CADJPY/AUDJPY. Short term and long term correlation look good, gap between prices is wide enough and spread is not that high.

chamane replied Sep 8, 2009I think that it's important to pick pair combinations that are stable in time regarding their correlation. The combo that is well known for that is EURUSD/USDCHF. One way to verify the correlation stability is to get the value for different number ...

chamane replied Sep 8, 2009I printed a correlation value chart from MATAF during the last weekend. The value of r (1hr) for AUDUSD/USDJPY was +88.8. So to confirm I exported data from MT4 and calculated the r value for 30min chart (from 2/09/09 up to now) and got +0.13 as the ...

chamane replied Sep 7, 2009Thx a lot! That's exactly what I am looking for. I can load the EA all right, but I'm afraid I still have a few questions. Is the dTakeProfit the level at wich the EA will close the trade? I suppose dStopLoss is set so we hardly ever reach that ...

chamane replied Sep 7, 2009Thanks. I bookmarked their Website. I didn't know such a service ever existed. I will try to find a way to alert me when the gap between the pairs has sufficiently decreased. I think they can also alert us when indicators of our choice move our way. ...

chamane replied Sep 7, 2009You are correct saying that price will snap back, but it can take a while for smaller timeframes. I am trading 30min charts and I expect the selected pairs to "meet" within 3 or four days at the most wich seems to be the case visually. Smaller ...

chamane replied Sep 7, 2009I would say the best correlation value is the one you can calculate for the timeframe you use. Since MATAF doesn't give them all, I would take the 1HR values for timeframes of 1Hr or less and daily values would be used for a crosscheck or for ...

chamane replied Sep 4, 2009Thanks. But it seems to repaint. That's why it's been suggested to use Marketscope for overlaying. What's your experience with that repainting issue?

chamane replied Sep 4, 2009I see you are using Matatrader. What is your reverse technique?

chamane replied Sep 4, 2009Thanks. If you could reverse USDCHF, you would be able to follow Dreamliner's rules. MT4 Overlay's indicator allows it, but it repaints. Too bad, because EURUSD/USDCHF is probably the best correlation there is to trade. I can still use a spreadsheet ...

chamane replied Sep 4, 2009I will let go and see what happens. Their recent history say that gaps can be even larger than that but price always converged afterwards. We'll see.
