learn pairs behaviour

Hello

I know every pair has it's own behavior. I would like to learn more about the trading personality of the main pairs. Is there a way to learn this? I know it is possible to learn this by working with the pairs but i was wondering if there was a faster way?

Thanks

Actually WHTenn, I don't think his topic was about correlations. If I'm not wrong, he's asking about currency personality. Like, GBPJPY. We all know that GBPJPY is a very volatile currency, how does it react to big news? What are the normal patterns during the day? Does it range during Asian time normally or go amok and then range during europe?

September, 2005 issue of Currency Trader magazine has an article about that very thing. It's called Currency Personalities by Brian Dolan. If you use the search function you may find it on this site. I know it's here, someone posted a link to it one time. Excellent article.

I totally agree with you that each currency pair has its own "behavior". IMHO there is NO shortcut to learning that behavior. Just like trading - it takes A LOT of observation in front of the charts. Past reaction to news doesn't always mean it will react that way in the future.

Thanks you for your answers


JodyOng you are right that is what I was talking of. I will be looking for the article and let you know if I can find it.

Aroo84, I do agree you learn a lot more by trading but if I could have some tips or any general idea that would be great and help me.


Edit: I think I found the article at www.gaincapital.com/files/CurrencyTrader0905-BD.pdf
I will sure read anything that would help me be successfull. I am new and need to practice and learn
