CFD Trading: Correlation between Currency Pairs

One of the problems as a trader and as a new trader is to discover how the market works. In previous posts are illustrated some of the common chart patterns and some of the common indicators.

In this post is the mind on the currency pairs. The idea is to illustrate the correlation between the currency pairs. The posts are only illustrative and only the correlation between the currencies will be illustrated.

The idea is to get started as a trader or move forward in the thought as a trader. Please leave a comment about correlation between currency pairs if you want to share some of them.

Social investment network
Just before I write about the currency pairs I will place a link to the social trading platform called eToro Social Investment Network; it is a platform where traders socialize about trading CFD.

EUR/USD and USD/CHF
The EUR/USD and the USD/CHF are often a mirror; the currency pairs move in the opposite direction. Is the EUR/USD bullish is the USD/CHF bearish and vice versa.

It is a rule which means that they can move in the same direction as well.

EUR/USD and EUR/GPB
The EUR/USD and EUR/GBP move most of the trading time in the same direction but could also move in reverse direction.

USD/CHF and USD/JPY
USD/CHF and USD/JYP are also currency pairs that often move in the same direction most of the trading time.    

It is a rule which means that they can move in the opposite direction as well.

An example:  How to use the information about the correlation between the currency pairs?
Watch the EUR/USD chart pattern; is the pattern bearish or bullish? Is the pattern bearish? Watch the USD/CHF chart or the USD/JPY chart for an entry in the market.

Please note
This post has illustrated some common correlation between currency pairs and is only inspiration to get started as a trader or move forward in the thought as a trader.

The correlation between the currency pairs can be stronger or weaker over time.
