The futures dictionary allows for contracts to be put in groups. Correlations within the groups can then be assigned. However, the forex dictionary doesn't seem to have this functionality.

Accordingly, I am not able to use ...

It's re-assuring to know that I'm not the one one finding the current market difficult.

The question is, what to do about it.

I've been trading a medium to long term trend following system since July 2008. Last year was the worst CAGR for my system for the length of my data going back to 1983 ...
