{quote} I don't mind using indicators, But when it comes to the EA's I just don't trust them, there's a thread on the trading platform called Monday Tuesday Wednesday, it's a pretty good system when it was being manually traded, But then someone made it an EA and the trouble is when the EA started it started doubling up lot sizes and before you knew it you are trading a pound lot and if it went the other way. It was nearly wiped you out like I say the system worked when it was manually trading,

We don't need to trust them to give the idea a good testing or to give us alerts of what to look at manually. I've seen three threads of this basic strategy and it appears to work well. The original thread on the strategy was Bill Bliss "pair divergence" as far as I know.

It seems rather clumsy using overlay charts, but maybe somebody has time to test it or a programmer is interested in working on something. FWIW


Cheers

PS i'd never trust an EA or indicator that i don't have the MQL for and can't look under the hood or change as i see fit, so I'm not disagreeing with you, but for sake of testing and/ or alerts it is worthwhile I think.

I dont trade EURAUD margin too high for me, AUD pairs , AUDJPY is good value.
More than twice the margin for about the same ADR. So you could trade a bigger size potentially or half the risk.

huh? The strategy of redfan is exactly the same as it was in those threads, with the exception of a moving average that redfan is using. correlation + divergence = trading opportunity. it is the essence of correlation trading. Without divergence of correlations you are simply trading strength or momentum and not correlation. Divergence is the key element to correlation trading.

example setup for correlation trading = .....both pairs are moving up together...one diverges, then the other pair(which you trade upon it's divergence) also moves up as expected....

I've tested the strength indicators and they are only good in strong trends. Correlation divergence is a much more reliable idea for a setup over time. IMO

I've only manually tested though.

The commercial EA somebody was testing earlier in this thread seems like a fine idea also utilizing moving average of spread ratio+ correlation.

In any case, you have a trigger that tells you something.... you also have an expectation of what price is going to do on the pair you are trading due to the other pair and the fact that the two pairs are moving together(i.e correlation).

for those not getting it I'll try to explain it to my own peanut brain lol. bottom line. correlation trading needs a trigger. that trigger if not divergence then what? it has to be divergence. think of it this way.... both pairs are moving down lets say for example. one pulls back up while the other keeps going down... what will happen next? If both pairs are correlated and moving down then the one that pulled back will continue down..... it's just a retrace and you know it.....

Okay, you've got me interested. I want to use diversions right at the very start,
but I found I was waiting all day for one to appear, Then there were days I missed them completely because I was away from the computer,
So I sort of got on the wrong track,
You've got me interested again, So what I'm going to do Is am going to make two charts one 5minutes and the other one hour
I will copy them from the thread pairs diverging method,
probably use two moving averages that are 21+ 50 exponential MA.
Currency strength meter,
It's just dawned on me I will have to check every morning to see if these two pairs
are higher or lower than -60 or +60 two pairs I'm thinking of are EURUSD USDCHF
if you go any suggestion on the pairs let me know,

Except ADR there is no difference any currencies. if aud is left side margin requirement is same if right side you could multiply 0.7 your lot size so there is same margin requirement. aj has more volatility because of scotk indices. when indices up aud up and jpy down and vice versa. that give us volatilty.

Of course ADR is different from currency pair to currency pair and margin is calculated based on volatility.
Margin will affect your Lot size assuming you do not change your Risk exposure.

Currency pairs do not move because something else moves first, all these events occur simultaneously, unless there is a feed delay.
News events can be the big mover, but very often the market has anticipated and already priced it in.

Not sure what you mean "if aud is left side margin requirement is same if right side you could multiply 0.7 your lot size so there is same margin requirement"

for example if you open 1 lot at audjpy. you could open 0.7 lot at euraud. they are same

0.7 comes from audusd.

for nzd you mltiply 0.63

Your Margin calculations are not what I am seeing with my broker, what leverage are you basing your calculations on ?

I use different leverage according to position reliabilty. Sometimes high sometimes low.
