Dollar Index futures make us money every day without ever giving us a trade.

The dollar has low volume, so we don’t trade it; we use its correlation on currency futures such as euro, pound, yen, Aussie, and Canadian dollar.

One of my favorite ways to use the dollar index futures is with the DX-Pattern. This takes advantage of the negative correlation between these markets looking for price reversals at the highs and lows of the daily, weekly and monthly trading ranges.

You will have plenty of time to witness plenty of DX-patterns setting up in the live trade room, so come join us, and bring your questions!
