Understanding Currency Strength

What does this show?

Every currency is part of many trading pairs. The Euro, for example, appears in EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY and many others. When the Euro rises against most of them, it means the Euro is getting stronger overall. This meter measures exactly that.

Why compare currencies?

Looking at one pair (like EUR/USD) only tells you half the story. Is the Euro rising, or is the Dollar falling? The strength meter answers this by measuring each currency against all the others at once. It gives you the full picture.

How to read the bars

The center line is zero (no change). Bars going right (green) mean the currency is gaining value. Bars going left (red) mean it is losing value. The longer the bar, the stronger the move. Currencies are sorted from strongest at the top to weakest at the bottom.

What traders look for

Traders often look for divergence: when one currency is clearly strong and another is clearly weak. A pair made of the strongest and weakest currency tends to have a clearer trend than a pair where both currencies are close in strength.

How we calculate it
1

Collect prices

We take the latest bid price for all 28 major and cross forex pairs directly from our MT5 trading server.

2

Measure movement

For each pair, we compare the current price to the previous price and calculate the percentage change.

3

Score each currency

If EUR/USD rises, that counts as a plus for EUR and a minus for USD. We average all the scores across every pair a currency appears in.

Common questions

What is a currency strength meter?
A currency strength meter measures how well a currency is performing compared to other currencies. Instead of looking at one trading pair, it analyzes all pairs that include a currency and calculates its overall momentum.
How often is the data updated?
The strength data is recalculated every 5 minutes using live bid prices from Vanto's MT5 trading server. The timestamp at the bottom of the meter shows when the last update occurred.
Which currency pairs are used in the calculation?
We use 28 major and cross pairs covering USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, and NZD. This includes all major pairs (like EUR/USD, GBP/USD) and popular crosses (like EUR/GBP, AUD/JPY).
Does this tool provide trading signals?
No. The currency strength meter is an informational tool that shows relative momentum. It does not provide trading signals, recommendations, or advice. Always do your own analysis before making trading decisions.
