The currency strength meter gives you a quick visual guide to which currencies are currently strong, and which ones are weak. The meter measures the strength of all forex cross pairs and applies calculations on them to determine the overall strength for each individual currency. Please see notes below for further details.
How Does The Currency Strength Meter Work?
The meter takes readings from every forex pair over the last 24 hours, and applies calculations to each. It then bundles together each the associated pairs to an individual currency (eg, EUR/USD, EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP etc) and finds the current strength.
How Can This Help Me?
It is useful as a quick guide to which currencies you might want to trade, and which might be worth staying away from. For instance, if a certain currency is very strong, and another suddenly turns weaker, you may find a trading opportunity. Such deviation between pairs usually indicates momentum. Conversely, if two currencies are weak, strong or average strength, there is often a range or sideways movement happening. You might want to stay away from trading those pairs.

The chart can be used to view the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) commitments of traders data (or COT in short) in an easily readable format. The data is published by the CFTC every week on Thursday and contains an aggregated report of the different holdings of market participants in the US futures market (where you can trade currencies, commodities and metals such as gold and silver).
The COT report provides the data broken down to 4 different types of traders:
- Dealer/Intermediary - typically "sell-side" and include large banks (both US and non US) and dealers in swaps, securities and other derivatives.
- Asset Manager/Institutional - typically "buy-side" and include pension funds, insurance companies etc'.
- Leveraged Funds - typically "buy-side" and include hedge funds and money managers such as CTAs (registered commodity trading advisors) and CPOs (registered commodity pool operators) or unregistered funds as identified by the CFTC.
- Other Reportables - typically "buy-side" and include reportable traders that that do not fit into none of the first three categories.
Open interest is the total of all futures and/or option contracts entered into and not yet offset by a transaction. The aggregate of all long open interest is equal to the aggregate of all short open interest.
- Net Commercials position = Commercial long - Commercial short
- Net Large Speculator position = Non-commercial long - Non-commercial short

The Scale of Market Quakes (SMQ) objectively measures the impact of political and economic events on the currency markets and is a decision support tool for traders, retail and institutional investors, government officials and commentators.

Financial markets are subject to seismic shocks caused by political, economic and other events.
The Forex Power Indicator is designed to help forex traders save time and boost profits by instantly identifying current trends and potential trade opportunities.
It identifies the relative strength of the major currencies based on daily, 4-hour, 1-hour, and 15 minute timeframes. This relative currency strength is determined based on a highly-developed formula that weights the historical relationships that exist between the various currencies. These relative currency strengths are then used to identify the Top 5 currency pairs that are showing the highest potential for trade.
Just click the required timeframe at the top of the Indicator - either Daily, 4-hour, 1-hour, or 15 minute – and you'll instantly receive two updated graphs that form the basis of this tool.The graph on the left shows the current strength or weakness of each of the 8 main currencies - based on the detailed assessment formula we have developed. The graph on the right shows you the top 5 pairs, from all the combinations of pairs that involve the major currencies, that have been identified as having the most potential for trade.
The identified pair, and whether it's a potential buy or sell, is indicated along the bottom of the graph. The actual graphs show the direction and relative strength of each currency in the recommended pair.
The numbers on the Y-axis of each chart represent average pips movement. For instance, if you're looking at the 15 minute chart and the 'USD' bar is at level '5' on the 'Forex Power' chart, it means it has moved a weighted-average of 5 pips against the other 7 major currencies. Similarly, if the 'EUR' bar is at level -4.5, then it means the Euro has moved down a weighted-average of 4.5 pips against the other 7 major currencies. If the USD has moved up, and the EUR has moved down, then entering a Sell position on the EUR/USD will most likely be recommended in the 'Top 5 pairs' graph on the right.
This tool is not intended to be a complete solution for identifying trades. However it is valuable as a way of identifying currency movements and determining potential trades for further analysis.
Used the right way, it will save you a lot of time and should work as a great addition to your current trade assessment processes.
