day 4 here and finally got it together for a change. Implemented lesson from this week on going with the markets that are correlating even tho not in my comfort zone of the only set that I was used to trading.... Saw 30-yr bond futures testing good ...

first gain since I started posting here, it's about time, but it is only a scalp I took off 4 of 5 lots and letting final one run here with stop advanced past break even... scalp was only for about 6 or 7pips

I'm short after the move up from support on 30-year bond futures and spoos lower currently @ be

stopped out of that one, -1% I messed up see next post, I think that one was Monday... another lesson

USD/CAD

on my chart it went to 1029 or so but only after dropping to 1015 so I was stopped and slipped and -6, but on smallest possible risk. It was not a good idea since I only based it on the falling USDCAD which is not correlated to anything I know about ...

EURUSD

I am not following my plan, I am addicted to trading and I will continue to lose this way until I either figure out how to change or I continue to bleed my account down to zero. Excuse my drama....

stopped out for 5 point slippage when my SL was @ BE sucks

EURUSD

attempting a tiny scalp long here looking for 10 from 1020 to 1030

EURUSD

Psych issue today: I am fixated on what has worked for me recently, it's a bias, so I missed what actually did happen today because of my fear of changing what has recently worked, I need to use related market correlations, and the only one I've ...

even tho i was totally wrong and missed information I should've found, I did see it while I was in the position and then I tightened up stops and so the loss was minimal, but then I tried the same thing again, 1/3rd the size and of course, lost ...

@ dagoods, yes when one correlates but is lagging, it's pretty nice @ HeyYou, I wonder how much arb is going on @ alphaomega, I'll need to put up more charts for to see them at the same time, especially since I've been attempting to correlate oil ...

Anyone Really Into Correlation?

The error in this trade was my inflexible attitude to repeat what had worked for me before, but in this situation, with the downhill freight train of GBPUSD, I didn't allow for that to be as much or more influential and a more powerful correlation. ...

Shorted USDCAD as oil moved up, but there is no stopping the fall in GPBUSD so that was the dominant correlation that caused my stop out as USDCAD rose on pressure from GU, oil was steady, CAD diverged, it happens.

Corrman's Correlation Comments

Oil at support pulling back and CAD currently correlated. I'm waiting for a test of the oil low to short USDCAD after it falls from arund 3250, or 3240 if oil begins to survive the low test.

Corrman's Correlation Comments

Nice chart, thanks for posting. Oil lower, but at support here at London close.

USD/CAD

here's the error in this trade: slow market because London closed, US & CAD holiday, so correlations here will not be as likely to be typical and there was a strong move and the party is over, so I made a mistake trading in the face of these factors.

USD/CAD

things sure can change rapidly... so I added size on the pullback as I was approaching stop out area of original entry because oil while falling, didn't follow thru down, so my original reason for entry was still valid. The typical correlation isn't ...

USD/CAD

I'm short small size USDCAD here but a bit too early 3150 looking for 3140 on first half and 3130 on 2nd half. I need EURUSD to go to 1160 and I need oil to rise, but I'm wrong here oil is falling so I'll be stopping out very soon over 3160.
