What is correlation
Medir se dois pairs tendem a andar juntos.
SafeCandle original (EN). Module «Correlation between pairs» — lesson «What is correlation». Medir se dois pairs tendem a andar juntos. This text is educational: reading and process, not a buy/sell order.
Correlation measures whether pairs tend to move together or as mirrors in a window — not eternal law.
Two correlated pairs can be one risk idea. Diversification by chart count is often fake.
Application: with «What is correlation» in mind, compare EUR/USD and one cross (e.g. EUR/GBP). What changes in the currency engine, in cost, and in your urge to click? On /mercado, check whether strength ranking supports or challenges the read — observation only.
Journal exercise (tag study): (1) define the topic in one sentence of your own; (2) one mistake you would avoid; (3) playbook now or “study later” queue. In the SafeCandle stack: /mercado (strength/heat/radar), indicator lab, journal and missions. Use what fits your plan — you do not need everything.
USD as common engine explains many co-moves. Crosses remove USD and change the story.
Trading involves risk of capital loss. This is SafeCandle educational material, not advice or a trade signal. See the risk disclaimer.
