Check out the new article: Price Action Analysis Toolkit Development (Part 22): Correlation Dashboard.

This tool is a Correlation Dashboard that calculates and displays real-time correlation coefficients across multiple currency pairs. By visualizing how pairs move in relation to one another, it adds valuable context to your price-action analysis and helps you anticipate inter-market dynamics. Read on to explore its features and applications.

Correlation is a statistical measure of how two variables move in relation to one another. Financial markets reflect the degree to which two instruments rise and fall together (positive correlation) or in opposite directions (negative correlation). Importantly, correlation describes relationships, not causation.
In my previous article, I showed how to plot the EURUSD–GBPUSD correlation using Python libraries. Now, I’ll guide you through creating a custom Expert Advisor that delivers correlation analysis directly in MetaTrader 5 with practical, on-chart visualizations. This tool creates a live dashboard that displays correlation values across various instruments: currencies, commodities, and more, over a selected timeframe.
By using this dashboard, traders gain a more profound understanding of how price movements across different markets interact. Whether instruments move in tandem, diverge strongly, or behave independently, this insight helps with:
  • Managing portfolio risk (by avoiding overexposure to correlated trades)
  • Identifying potential hedges or pairs trades
  • Enhancing diversification
  • Spotting shifts in market dynamics when correlations change.
