Fast, accurate strength data helps you time entries and exits more effectively. What is Currency Strength? Currency strength is a popular Forex trading indicator that helps you understand price movements by comparing the strength of individual currencies. Strength is calculated across 8 major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CHF, CAD) and reported on a scale from 0 (weakest) to 10 (strongest). This lets you quickly identify which currencies are strongest and weakest, and whether a move in a Forex pair is driven by strength or weakness in one of the currencies.
