The indicator creates an index for each major currency by calculating its rate of change and smoothing the values through a specialized process. It uses a lookback method to determine historical performance, then applies an oscillator to normalize the values between -1.00 and +1.00.
After initial normalization, the values are smoothed again to create a more refined signal. The method allows traders to visualize relative currency strength by representing each currency with a different color and tracking its movement within the oscillator range.
Why it may be useful
This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of currency performance by transforming complex forex market dynamics into an easily interpretable format. By normalizing currency movements, it helps traders quickly identify potential trends and strength disparities between different currencies.
The visual representation allows for rapid assessment of market conditions, enabling traders to make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points. Its ability to smooth and normalize data helps reduce market noise and highlight meaningful currency movements.
When to explore it
The indicator is most effective when trading forex on daily charts, with default settings optimized for capturing longer-term currency trends. Traders should look for currencies crossing above +1 or below -1 as potential signal points, especially when multiple currencies show significant movement.
It works best when observing color changes and line crosses, with potential trade signals occurring either immediately or within a few candles. Traders should be cautious about applying these settings to different timeframes, as the indicator's effectiveness may vary.
