szczupak,

I think you have a very interesting idea worth of exploration. I know that some stock traders are using the S&P futures as a leading indicator for the stocks which they trade. It is a system very close to scalping where you monitor the 1 min S&P futures chart. If there is a trend detected then you look at the 1min chart of the chosen stock to place your entries. I think this system was utilizing a 20 EMA and stochastics to refine the entries and exits. Whatever it is my main point is if it is logical to look at the futures prices for a hint on where the stocks might go then it is worth investigating if there is a correlation between the currency futures and the spot prices.
Let me know if I can be of any further help.

Regards,

Dimi
