profxtrader replied May 15, 2012I hate to beat a dead horse with my CHFJPY analysis but in light of the perfectness of this setup I must (die horse die!!!). Now, I'm no Elliott Wave practitioner. I only use it in the most rudimentary sense, but the basic structure is a 5 wave ...

profxtrader replied Nov 16, 2011Absolutely, I call it recoupling but I think we're talking about the same thing. They have to come back together to make a successful arb. I don't understand how this gets made into some monster that appears so difficult. Statistical Arbitrage... ...
