What is Pair Correlation?
Pair Correlation measures how two currency pairs move in relation to each other. A correlation of +1.0 means they move identically; -1.0 means they move in exact opposite directions.
Understanding correlation is essential for risk management. Trading two highly correlated pairs (like EUR/USD and GBP/USD) effectively doubles your risk on the same market direction.
This tool calculates Pearson correlation using daily returns over your selected period, providing an accurate statistical measure of pair relationships.
