A currency strength meter is a trading tool that measures the relative strength or weakness of major global currencies in real time. It helps traders quickly identify which currencies are performing strongly and which are underperforming, based on price movements across multiple currency pairs. Instead of analysing each pair individually, the meter consolidates this information into a visual format so you can make fast, data-driven trading decisions.
The currency strength meter works by analysing the performance of a currency pair. It calculates the strength by measuring the percentage change or momentum of each currency against another over a specific time frame. For example, if the Euro (EUR) is rising against the USD it will appear in blue. Conversely, if it's losing ground it will appear in red.
Traders use the meter in several strategic ways:
Confirming Trade Ideas: Validate your directional bias by checking whether a currency you plan to trade is aligned with broader market momentum.
Avoiding Low-Probability Trades: Stay away from currency pairs where both currencies are showing equal strength or weakness, which can lead to choppy, directionless price action.
Identifying Opportunities: Spot potential breakouts or trends early by pairing a strong currency with a weak one.
The meter is powered by our real-time forex data, ensuring that the prices you see are always up to date
