- Watch the colored lines:
• Red/Orange: Symbol 2 leads Symbol 1 by 1-2 periods
• Blue: Instruments move simultaneously
• Green/Purple: Symbol 1 leads Symbol 2 by 1-2 periods - Check the table for exact correlation values and the "Best" relationship
Interpreting Results:
- Correlation > 0.7: Strong positive relationship
- Correlation 0.3-0.7: Moderate relationship
- Correlation < 0.3: Weak/no relationship
- Highest line indicates the optimal timing relationship
