Disliked{quote} Could you be more specific? I don't understand your abbreviation. Second, i don't like statistics on xx% of correlation, really. Most of the so-called correlation happen in tail part of the distribution - that is in an extreme move, otherwise most of the time financial asset moving in consolidation range and their correlation in random. The point is try to understand what happens in the market and act accordingly (mean there's some logical reason behind) and not promoting blindly take on correlation {image}Ignored
I trade HSI, Dax, and Dow Jones because of 2% average high low range.
The three have positive correlations varying from 60% TO 100%
I choose one Forex pair which I think is negatively correlated by 80% but the volatility is low.
I use indices and forex options to complete the picture.
I am doing this intuitively and it has helped me manage margin well.
It is like I have put margin management on auto pilot by having assets which pull in opposite direction.
If drawdown goes so high that I have to stop trading further or get out unless the drawdown is reduced.
The arrangement is working fine as overshooting of drawdown is not choking my account to trade in other assets.
Have you had any systematic exposure to this kind of multiple symbols being managed in this way - mainly not to choke the margin capital and not get disturbed by drawdown so as to freeze the account if the intention is not to use Stop Loss.
It is like me trading 5% volatility , sum of 3 indices having positive correlation.
What could be high-volatility alternatives to low volatility Forex?
Gold is one that fits the bills.
Others may be agricultural commodities like soybean or copper or oil.
Websites recording volatility by High Low, ATR and Standard Deviation cover only forex pairs.
I have not found any site where I can find the volatility statistics for all CFD assets (except stocks)
It is actually basket trading matching the magnitude of volatility and momentum.
