Click Here for Part 1 If I may, allow me to verbalize my responses to your questions. 1.  Get back to you on this one. 2.  I have a tendency to rely upon correlating currencies too much.  And, given the current volatility in the markets, correlation is a word that has been seemingly shelved for weeks.  It's as if currencies are doing their own thing without much care as to what their correlation partner is thinking.  Perhaps it's a broken marriage.  Nonetheless, I took the trade based on the Euro and the yen/Euro cross.  Both of those currencies were falling, and ... typically ... when those two fall, the pound as well as the yen/pound cross fall as well. This, however, takes me to another point.  After careful observance, I have seen the Swiss franc pay ZERO attention to that which the Euro is doing.  A year ago when I first began trading, I noticed the franc and the Euro in such tight correlation (opposite) that it was nearly a double profit ... when one goes up, the other goes down.  Not now.  They all have their own energy now. On another note, I would like to stay for two days.  I would just stay at a friend's home in Orem or something.  I'd hate to have you wife feel bad because of the remodeling mess.  However, I'll let ya know for sure.  Thanks. -Pupil Good.  Correlation is a really powerful tool.  But, just like every marriage sometimes the partners act predictably, and sometimes they do not.  I like to observe to see if correlation is in fact at play especially if I have been away from the market for more than a week.  Not to say that you didn't do this or not. Correlation can be a stealthy tool to pin point at times. I personally have noticed that sometimes the correlating pairs are right on and other times they separate for a time and then get back together again.  This may just be a separation period. -Mentor
