Forex DIFFERENT pairs trading question ............

November 2nd, 2017, 09:35 PM

I want to make sure I understand the UN-COREELATION on two different Forex pairs please:

So so long as the Two Pairs are nearly 100% Un-Correlated , can you still profit from the two pairs , via being Long one and short the other ?
Since they are nearly to 100% Un-Correlated, this seems to make sense ?

Thank you for the help

The fact that instruments are uncorrelated does not mean they need to go in opposite directions

What you probably are looking for is an inverse correlated pair, in that case
if one goes up the other would more likely go down.

You can't find pairs that are negatively correlated at -100%. Take the EUR/USD it is said to be almost always negatively correlated to the USD/CHF but in reality the negative correlation hovers around -85%. But to be sure, serve yourself and visit this page at Oanda:
