Valid reason and I agree, however Im no stranger to risk and a bit of gunslinger so I like these trades, I only place a small % of my a/c in each trade so in the event of a black swan I won't be wiped out.

yes we have the same settings, except I have layers set at 2.00, 2.30, 2.60 and the SPG/TCO entry was on the 2 layer signal. I would say in the HP/UNT trade the overall correlation is increasing, I don't see a downtrend. Im not sure I understand your last question of ratio chart was still so high?
