Correlation Lab

Build your market comparison

For each leg, choose a market group first, then select the instrument. Use two legs for a simple pair, or add a third leg for the correlation triangle.

Normalised Performance

Each selected market begins at 100. The lines show relative performance rather than raw price values.

3M · 0 aligned bars
Chart timeframe
Choose your instruments to draw the comparison chart.

Convergence / Divergence Triangle

Each edge is the correlation between the daily or intraday returns of that pair.

TRIAD MODE
Select instruments to see the correlation structure.

Pairwise Correlation

Positive values mean the pair tends to move together; negative values mean it tends to move in opposite directions.

Pair calculations will appear here.

How to Read the Tool

Use correlation as context and confirmation — not as an automatic trading signal.

The simple way to use it

1
Look at the edges. A strong positive correlation means two instruments have tended to move together. A strong inverse correlation means they have tended to move opposite.
2
Check the normalised chart. This shows whether the selected instruments are currently travelling together or whether one is pulling away from the group.
3
Use the triad state as a snapshot. Convergent means broad alignment. Divergent or mixed means the market relationship is fragmented and needs more context.
Important: Correlations change with timeframe, volatility, news and market regime. A strong historical relationship can weaken or reverse. This tool describes past price behaviour; it does not forecast or provide financial advice.
Data note: Price history is requested from your WordPress server only when visitors load or refresh a selected comparison. A minor Forex cross can be calculated from its two major-pair components if its direct quote is temporarily unavailable. Data can be delayed, unavailable or adjusted by the provider. Correlation measures past co-movement of returns, not whether one instrument must follow another.
