Correlation is a statistical measure of how two variables relate to one another and it is measured using a coefficient known as a correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient ranges between -1.0 and +1.0. A correlation coefficient of +1 between 2 currency pairs implies that the two currency pairs will move in the same direction 100% of the time while a correlation coefficient of -1 between 2 currency pairs implies that the two currency pairs will move in the opposite direction 100% of the time. A correlation coefficient of zero between 2 currency pairs implies that the relationship between the currency pairs is completely random. In the forex markets, positive correlation can be used to predict which currency pairs are likely to move in tandem giving us an opportunity to diversify trades while Negative correlation can be used for hedging purposes.In this course, we are going to focus on negative correlation or anti correlation. Trading using anti-correlation is a brilliant way of increasing trading frequency and profits without taking too much risk. We are going to trade the EURUSD and USDCHF currency pairs which exhibit the best anti-correlation to trading costs ratio. By buying each currency pair, an almost perfect hedge is attained. This can be advantageous as it allows us to profit on one pair while holding the other at a loss, anticipating a rebound.The strengths of this strategy are based on its simple and yet effective entry logic and most importantly, how it manages profitable trades..
