Rolling mirror
Show the distribution of rolling correlation and periods when it weakens. A single negative coefficient is not a trading rule.

The EURUSD mirror is imperfect
MARGIN 30USDCHF and EURUSD can move inversely because of their shared dollar component, but correlation varies and execution costs differ. Copying an EURUSD setup without retesting can duplicate dollar exposure while missing Swiss-specific liquidity and policy behaviour.
Measure rolling correlation on the same timestamps, tag Swiss National Bank and Federal Reserve windows in advance, and report ordinary versus event observations. Keep stops, targets, and account risk native to USDCHF rather than copying pip distances blindly.
Show the distribution of rolling correlation and periods when it weakens. A single negative coefficient is not a trading rule.
Use a dated calendar for selected SNB and Swiss data events. Large moves alone cannot identify their cause.
Convert EURUSD and USDCHF positions to dollar risk and common USD exposure before treating them as diversification.
Correlation can suggest a hypothesis; only the second instrument’s own ledger can validate it.
EURUSD and USDCHF can share broad dollar and European drivers, but their relationship varies by period and horizon. If correlation becomes a filter, define the lookback and threshold using only prior observations.
SNB decisions and market stress can create discontinuous moves. Label event windows prospectively, use wider cost and gap scenarios, and report tail outcomes rather than describing USDCHF as permanently quiet or safe.
| Measurement | How to define it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling relationship | Predeclared EURUSD lookback, lag and coefficient distribution | Exposes changes hidden by one correlation value |
| Event tail | SNB/US window gaps, spread, slippage and MAE | Captures rare loss-driving observations |
| Feed clock | Provider, timezone, H1 open and missing-bar policy | Makes paired series and session labels align |
| Portfolio overlap | Net USD, CHF and EUR exposure across positions | Prevents accidental duplication of one macro bet |
A correlation statistic is not an entry signal and can break during the period when a hedge is expected to help. Test conditional and tail behaviour, not only the average coefficient.
Minimum evidence label: publish the rule version, instrument and feed, timezone, dates, opportunity count, quote and cost model, unresolved-trade policy, holdout status, and uncertainty with the result.
