Strength meter — 8 majors
Loading reference rates…
Strength = each currency's average percentage move against the other seven, rescaled 0–100. Derived from ECB reference rates (frankfurter.dev) — educational reference data, delayed, never tradeable prices.
What it is good for — and what it is not
A strength meter is context, not a signal. Pairing the strongest currency with the weakest is where trends tend to live, and noticing that two of your three positions all involve the same strong dollar is risk information. What the meter cannot do is time an entry or predict the next candle — it summarises a look-back window and nothing more. Read it like a weather map: it tells you where the pressure is, not where to walk.
How it works — Live Currency Strength Meter
Every currency's move against every other is computed from the daily reference table; each currency's eight-way average becomes its score; the scores are stretched across 0–100 for readability. Same data, same arithmetic as the correlation matrix — one sees relationships, the other sees direction.
Questions traders actually ask
- How often should I check it? — daily at most. Intraday jiggles in reference data mostly mean nothing.
- Why is USD in the middle but my USD positions lost? — the meter averages against seven currencies; your pair is one specific relationship. Use the pair's own chart for that decision.
- Is a strong currency a buy? — not by itself. Strength measures the past window; entries need their own reason.
