Correlation

The Correlation tab computes how selected algorithms move relative to each other across shared trading days.

Reading the matrix

  • Values near +1: strategies tend to move together.
  • Values near 0: weak relationship.
  • Values near -1: strategies tend to offset each other.

How to use correlation in allocation

  1. Identify highly correlated groups.
  2. Avoid concentrating size in tightly correlated clusters.
  3. Blend lower-correlation algorithms to improve diversification.
  4. Validate changes in Portfolio Analytics.

Important context

  • Correlation is based on overlapping data windows.
  • Correlation can change over time as market regimes shift.
  • Use correlation with drawdown and trade-level evidence, not in isolation.
