Correlation Analysis

How to interpret correlation numbers: When the correlation between 2 systems is equal to 1, it means they are identical systems; when it is equal to minus 1, those 2 systems are the exact opposite, thus negating each other. Obviously the closer the correlation is to 0, the better. As you can see, all the cells in red and salmon color represent systems with the lowest correlation factor and better suited to be traded together.
