Correlation. Do you believe it matters?

Do you believe in correlation?
Do you take trades on similar currency pairs?

This topic has been debated on several times.
Some traders believe that every currency pair is unique in its own way.
Others too believe that currency pairs with a common pair, for instance, EURNZD and NZDJPY would have a level of negative correlation.

What do you think is better? Taking into consideration the fact that there is correlation or neglecting correlation in all aspects of your trading?

It's true every currency has own effects but correlation can help to a trader in long-term and it's more effective in cross pairs. Bigger capital doesn't mean can defend a trader but with correlation, an opposite force can give enough time to deal and hold, in the same way for long holding trades SWAP makes the vital change but choosing opposite direction at least it can less 70% swap.  

It's my opinion other peoples can debate with their own best experience.

Thank you. I guess I have to take the time to read and understand those threads

 

Wow. Thank you all for your data. I wanted your personal views on whether it matters or it doesnt.

I guess anyone interested can look at the data provided and decide if it will matter to you or not.

 

It depends on the strategy used.

But i can tell you from experience that at certain specific intervals, for example at the end, or start of a new week or month, analyzing these underlying relationships can be very useful.
