Sorry zone-bone,
I don't know yet myself. I have a general idea. Plus, seeing the data on DOM and T&S that I captured for 2 days tell me intuitively that it's possible.
An experience trader tipped me off that he doesn't but didn't spell out how.
After I collect enough historical data. I will figure it out better.
TSGann suggested somehow using the data across related currency pair for depth and T&S to drive better decisions.
I haven't figured that out yet either and no word back.
I'm doing to stick to the counter trend strategy while I figure out the trend following system.
Sincerely,
Wayne

I think I know what you mean by matrix.
It's a table that shows the major currencies going along the x and y axis.
The pairs are at the intersections of the axis.
So to get a true picture of the USD, you use all the major USD pairs.
And to get a true picture of the YEN, you use all the YEN pairs.
Is that right?
Next, it's necessary to work out the math on how to extrapolate a standalone USD number versus a standalone YEN number. I don't know how to do that, yet!
It's very clear that will provide a more solid picture of the currency. WOW.
Why does this thread attract so many geniuses??

1. Stop kissing ass. Or stop drinking.
2. It's not a big of deal and it's no secret. Once you get the data, all you have to do is code up a stat. arb scanner (Not TOS but Depth) between all the related pairs you follow and "approach to" trade a single leg delta.
Once approached it and get the test results, you'll see a viable tendency that can help you with what you're looking for.
Good thing about coding this up is that you'll be able to get a better view of the stop/market order slippage and Limit order "fillability" for your orders. I started writing a code to calculate the expected "fill-ability" for my Limit Orders by calculating the Depth, and luckily found a tendency that added-value to my trading.
Good luck... and final post regarding this topic. Moving onto Chit-Chat.

Hi Alan,
I've been checking your blog periodically, but nothing has been posted yet. Just wondering if you are still planning on posting material at some point?
In these tumultuous financial times it would be nice to see ideas/thoughts from a seasoned veteran such as yourself.
Hope to see something soon!! It's always inspirational.
Best,
Steve

I'm sorry. I found posts from this site translated into other languages and lost faith in being able to control the information I wanted to post in the blog. Right now, I plan on trading for the forseeable future and don't plan on doing much posting. I don't want to become the Doyle Brunson of the trading world.
Good luck and thanks for the interest.
