What Is Currency Table Strength Indicator?

A currency table strength indicator is a graphical tool that shows the strength of a currency. Common indicators usually show the strength of a currency in relation to another currency, however, with some calculations it is possible to find the absolute strength of each individual currency.

Therefore, a currency table strength indicator is a tool that tries to express the absolute strength of a currency, so that you can compare this strength with the strength of other currencies.

There are many ways to calculate the absolute strength of a currency, but usually they all try to extract it considering all the values of another indicator across multiple pairs.

In other words, to calculate the strength of JPY, for example, an algorithm will analyze the values of the same indicator in all the pairs involving the JPY.

This concept might seem a bit confusing if you are new to currency strength, but don’t worry, you will understand by reading further.

Introduction to Currency Strength

Currency strength matrix is a currency strength meter tool developed to measure the strength of the eight main currencies.

The absolute strength of a currency can be a good indicator of a potential movement of the market.

A table of values shows the strength of the currencies. In this matrix, each rows is a currency and each column is a timeframe.

A cell contains the difference between the value of the cumulative moving average in the current candle and the previous.

For a cumulative MA, we consider all the pairs involving a specific currency, expressing the difference as percentage.

You can sort the currencies by strength in a specific timeframe to see the strongest ones on top, and the weakest ones at the bottom.

This indicator shows you the strength of all the major currencies in the table. Each cell represents the difference between the current EMA and the value in the previous candle, considering all the pairs of this particular currency.

Even if the look of the table seems confusing, it isn’t hard to understand this indicator.

The currencies are sorted by strength in a specific timeframe, so that you can find the strongest currency on top and the weakest one at the bottom.

You can choose to see the actual resulting value of the applied formula or only the color and symbol.

A green cell, or with a positive numeric value, means that in that timeframe, the currency has gained strength compared to the previous candle.

A red cell, or with a negative value, means that on the opposite, it has lost strength.

You might be asking “Why so many timeframes?”

Well, you can select to ignore and hide some of the timeframes, however, seeing how a currency is doing across all the timeframes provides a much better picture of its trend.

A currency with all its cells in green means that it is increasing its strength across the board. Conversely, a currency with all red cells is losing strength.

A positive value (or a Aqua Blue Colour table cell, means that the currency has overall increased its value in all its pairs. A Maroon red Colour cell, means the currency has decreased its value. This is shown across all the timeframes to give a better understanding of the overall situation. The currencies are sorted by value — with the highest positive difference on top, and the highest negative difference at the bottom.
