Pair Divergence Method

This is trading divergence between two highly correlated pairs.

I find the correlated pairs at http://www.mataf.net/en/tools/correlation-table

I use the daily correlation chart.

Presently these pairs have a correlation factor of >80

EUR/USD - EUR/CHF
USD/JPY - EUR/JPY - GBP/JPY
EUR/USD - USD/CHF (Negative correlation)

The chart below shows the EUR/JPY and the GBP/JPY, together.
Basically, if one pair makes a lower low and the other does not, you buy the one that does not.

If one pair makes a higher high and the other does not, sell the pair that does not.

I wait until both pairs have turned in the direction of the trade, before entering.

On the charts, I have removed the candles/bars and replaced them with a Simple MA, 1 period, typical price.
This gets rid of the whiskers and a lot of the noise. Also, it works and I like it
