Quote from Murray Ruggiero:
Yes. The Dow index is negatively correlated to the dollar. In fact I created a ETF system which trades the DIA and DOG ETF's. You can access the systems rules for free by registering on TradersStudio.com and being logged in and using the following link. Registering on TradersStudio.com is free.

Murray, don't these rules imply a leader/follower relationship with lag, where the intermarket is the leader and the traded market is the follower? Correlated markets are easy to find, but it's extremely difficult to establish a consistent leader/follower relationship. In fact, if you could find such a relationship then you'd be printing money.Quote from Murray Ruggiero:
I developed a very simple concept for Intermarket based systems. For positively correlated markets:
If Intermarket is in up trend and traded market in down trend then buy
If Intermarket is in down trend and traded market is in up trend then sell
You can use various concepts to defined an up and down trend. In most of my work I used price relative to a moving average.

Can you please elaborate on how to qualify correlated markets for your strategy?

... Intermarket analysis is also not perfect. This is why I do use correlation analysis as well as something I invented called predictive correlation to hande when these relationships go out of sync.
