Description

This indicator shows how strong or weak each of the 8 main currencies is. It calculates this by using well-known technical indicators (like RSI or MACD) on many different currency pairs. Then, it builds a "strength index" for each currency, so you can see the market situation in a clear and easy way.

  • Find strong and weak currencies quickly
  • Compare one currency against another
  • Confirm your trade ideas using strong signals
  • Use a multi-timeframe dashboard to see data from different timeframes
  • Use it without optimization – just load and go
  • Rely on it because it does not repaint past signals

  • Stochastic
  • Momentum
  • Force Index
  • Money Flow Index (MFI)
  • Awesome Oscillator
