This morning there are fourteen primary signals in my pre-trade matrix, seven of these have cyclical support, four are CHF-based pairs which are highly correlated and listless right now. Iโ€™m going to stay out of those for a bit. This leaves me the EUR/CAD, GBP/JPY and USD/CAD for further review. Correlation between the EUR/CAD and the USD/CAD is .56 so Iโ€™ll likely drill into one or the other to keep unintentional Leverage to a minimum. There is no advantage between those two on the spread on my platform so it will come down to a review of the price action and relationships to support and resistance targets.
