I'm new to forex, and I'd like to make some decent returns (for a change)

The more I read about the forex, the more they talk about the stock markets in countries. If stocks are up, it usually strengthens a currency. If they're down, the currency is usually weakened. Is that typically true, always true, or just a plain crap shoot.

If it is true. Let's say the dow closes up 2+%. Does that mean during the night session, that the USD is going to be a safer bet than it normally would be if the stock market stayed even?

Thanks for any tips

Currency trading is by banks mostly. Wall street deals with companies.

no, usually the USD goes down when the stock market is up. just because stocks do well doesn't strengthen a currency because there is less liquidity
