Thanks, Greg.

Hey Robert. I was looking over some old posts and found this one. Are we happy now?

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response.

1. I will still appreciate ur comments on the MACD & Slow_K as at the time I posted the chart.
2. There is a -80.9 daily correlation between EURUSD & EURNZD - does this bring a different opinion to the table?
3. The daily trend seems to still be in charge!!

Will appreciate ur comment on 1 & 2

You are correct these are negatively correlated 80% so when Euro goes up Euro Kiwi goes down. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! The trend is definitely in charge. The fundamentals support this as welll as New Zealand CPI (Consumer Price Index) printed higher at 1.7% versus 1.1 expected. They may have to raise rates as well as inflation is beginning to raise its ugly head.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your response.

what correlation figure will you take to be significant? from 70%, 80% or from 90% upward?

Hope this helps

Smile Changing The Timeframe in Marketscope

Hey Supa - perhaps I can help...

Here I've got NZD\USD on the chart:

1. Highlight\click on the timeframe dropdown field so that it is blue

2. Type in the code for the timeframe you want - here I've selected (h4)

3. Hit return and you've got the chart

Supa, lissyking and Hawali's instructions are correct, If I can further help, I have circled the timeframe area on three charts in the attachment below, where you have to place your curser and type in H1, H2, H4 M1, M5 etc. Hope its a little clearer now. Robert

Talking

Greg I got stopped out on that pair AudUsd a long time ago. I have made as much as I have lost on her, so I left her alone. I see that she has climbed the ladder now. Luckily I am smiling from Aud.Jpy, up now 186pips. Your other AUD suggestion. Thanks

Hi Gregory,
Trading has gone well until I encountered this chart, your advice has always been helpful and timely so could you take a look at this for me please.

The weekly charts shows a down trend with a retracement between 38.2 and 50 %.(magenta coloured)
the daily chart shows an uptrend with a retracement to 38.2 % (blue coloured)
the hourly chart shows a down trend with a retracement to 38.2 % (red coloured)

The weekly 38.2 and the hourly 50 % both line up in the same price level both are retracements of
a down trend.

How do I interpret this?

All advice welcome, thanks, CB.

The weekly 38.2 and the hourly 50% both line up, the short term is a retracement of the daily up trend. CB.
