In the global economy now prevailing I think its true to say all mkts are of one. Correlations are therefor becoming more and more important for trading imo. Mainly the reason I am here !

correlations are not always playing all in synch, sometimes one member will be contrarian but if I am long oil I basically feel comfortable if cad is long also. If all members are erratic chances are the mkts are pretty much untradeable.

sure Dave.. we all have different reasons for being here.. i'm in fx and oil is beyond my comprehension at this juncture.. I think somebody has to much control there.. same for NYSE as you have already said so yourself..

Crude (CL) tipped 78.6% ret of last swing down today and reacted off the level which clustered with 127.2% sym ext. Narrow range coiling at mo. If it breaks down tomorrow I can support your short loonie stance :-) Who needs fundamentals to confuse our reads ? :-)

OK gl but I don't see anything especially positive about DX at this time. cad/usd is one contributor to my oil/gold/stocks correlation chart. Mkts can change on a dime ! :-)

Dave, I'm actually short loonie in portfolio for slight DXY positive bias.. and actually I'm looking to add since DXY survived that assault yesterday.. oil is another thing all together..

I agree usdcad was out of whack from US open to 2.00pm ET but then it turned down and it should continue down according to my current correlation chart for oil etc.
