Related currency pairs - correlations between currency pairs

When trading forex, you will notice that some currency pairs seem to move in the same direction at the same time. Which means that those currency pairs are related to each other. Sometimes when you see one of the related pairs move and the other not (yet), there might be a good time to trade. Which of the pairs you will base your trade decision on is of course already a more difficult question - you just need to follow the charts and make your own decisions.
