How to Read & Use This Tool

A general term for trading techniques aimed at profiting from price differences between different markets or symbols. This tool is used to analyze the relationship between symbols.

① Arbitrage

The value calculated as Symbol A's price ÷ Symbol B's price. It expresses the relative strength of two symbols in a single number. Example: if EURUSD ÷ USDJPY rises, EURUSD is becoming relatively stronger than USDJPY.

② Price Ratio

A trading method where, when the ratio of two highly correlated symbols deviates significantly from the long-term average, you sell the stronger side and buy the weaker side—profiting from the "ratio deviation" rather than the individual price movements.

③ Pair Trading

The statistical tendency for prices or ratios to return to their long-term average. When ratios trade within a range, the assumption that extreme values revert to the mean tends to hold true.

④ Mean Reversion

4 Key Terms to Know First

Chart the ratio A÷B as a time series. Easily understand "which side is dominant" and "when the dominance shifted."

Visualize 2-Symbol Comparison

Spot the moment a ratio significantly deviates from its average, or breaks out of a long-term range. Useful for planning mean-reversion pair trading strategies.

Discover Pair Trading Opportunities

Compare combinations of currency pairs, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Useful for evaluating portfolio diversification and planning hedging strategies.

Portfolio & Correlation Analysis

What Can This Tool Do?

Symbol A is becoming relatively stronger than Symbol B. A is rising more / falling less than B.

Ratio Rising → Symbol A Dominant

Symbol B is becoming relatively stronger than Symbol A. B is rising more / falling less than A.

Ratio Falling → Symbol B Dominant

Both symbols moving at the same pace. Extreme deviations create mean-reversion pair trading opportunities.

Ratio Flat → Range Market

A sudden ratio change may indicate a major news or economic indicator for one symbol. Identifying the cause is critical.

Sudden Change → Major Event

Reading the Price Ratio Chart

The absolute value of a ratio like EURUSD ÷ USDJPY (e.g., 0.0073) has no special meaning. What matters is "whether it's rising or falling," "how far it has deviated from the long-term average," and "when major changes occurred."

⚠️ Focus on the "Change," Not the Absolute Value

Choose pairs that are economically or statistically correlated. Examples: currencies from the same region (EUR-based, commodity currencies), commodities of the same category (gold and platinum, oil and natural gas), or indices from the same region (Nikkei and TOPIX, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100). Comparing unrelated symbols won't reveal meaningful patterns.

💡 Golden Rule for Symbol Pair Selection

Pattern A — Persistent Uptrend

Pattern B — Persistent Downtrend

Pattern C — Stable Range (Mean Reversion)

Pattern D — Breakout (Structural Change)

4 Key Patterns to Remember

5-Step Usage Workflow

Pick economically or statistically related symbol pairs (same-region currencies, same-category commodities, same-region indices). Comparing unrelated symbols yields no meaningful patterns.

Select 2 Symbols to Analyze

Check the ratio's movement on both long-term and short-term timeframes. Identify which pattern (A–D) applies and how far the current ratio is from the long-term average.

Check the Current State on the Price Ratio Chart

Check the economic factors behind the ratio's movement (interest rate differentials, policy, supply/demand, geopolitics). Judge whether the move on the chart is "structural" or "temporary."

Confirm Fundamental Factors

Analyze each symbol in detail with MT4/MT5 or other Research Hub tools (Trend Analysis, RSI Analysis, etc.). Set entry / stop loss / take profit.

Detailed Analysis of Individual Symbols

Based on the analysis results, execute regular trades on each symbol.

Execute Strategy

Comparing unrelated symbols reveals only noise. Choose economically related pairs: same-region currencies, same-category commodities, or same-region indices.

✔ Choose Highly Correlated Symbol Pairs

Only short-term views can be misled by temporary fluctuations; only long-term views miss current opportunities. Checking both timeframes is essential.

✔ Check Both Long-Term and Short-Term

Understanding the economic factors behind ratio movements (rate differentials, policies, supply/demand) helps distinguish "temporary noise" from "structural change."

✔ Verify Fundamentals Alongside

Combining with Trend Analysis, RSI Analysis, Volatility Heatmap, etc. enables more comprehensive and accurate analysis.

✔ Combine with Other Research Hub Tools

The ratio only shows "relative movement," not each symbol's absolute movement or risk. Always confirm individual symbol charts and news.

✘ Don't Judge by the Ratio Alone

Sudden movements during breakouts are hard to classify as structural change or temporary overreaction. Identify the cause calmly before deciding.

✘ Don't Chase Sudden Movements

Employment data, policy announcements, geopolitical events temporarily move ratios significantly. Note that pattern recognition reliability drops around announcements.

✘ Don't Ignore News Events

Even with thorough analysis, markets can move unexpectedly. Always set stop losses and limit risk per trade to 1–2% of your account.

✘ Don't Skip Risk Management

Currency Strength Ranking

Currency Strength Meter

How to Read and Use This Tool

An exchange rate is simply the ratio between two currencies. Looking at one currency in isolation tells you nothing about whether it is strong or weak. Currency strength is a score derived by comparing one currency against many others to quantify how much it is net-bought or net-sold across the board.

① Currency Strength

When the whole market moves in one direction — for example a broad USD rally — a simple return figure makes every currency appear to move together. By subtracting the average of all 8 currencies at each point in time, the tool removes that market-wide bias and isolates the pure relative strength between currencies.

② Relative Score (Neutralization)

A pair that does not involve USD, such as EURJPY or GBPAUD. Combining the strongest currency (buy) with the weakest currency (sell) tends to produce a clear directional trend, making cross pairs a natural target when using this tool.

③ Cross Currency Pair

The practice of comparing several timeframes to make trading decisions. When the same currency is strong (or weak) on both a short period (24h) and a long period (1M+), the trend is considered more reliable.

④ Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Three Key Terms to Know First

The 8 major currencies are ranked on a neutral, level playing field. See instantly which currencies are being bought and which are being sold.

Compare 8 Currencies at a Glance

Each currency's relative strength is displayed as a line chart. Switch from 24 hours to 1 year to spot shifts in momentum and trend changes.

Track Strength Changes Over Time

The strongest and weakest currencies are automatically paired and shown as a trending candidate — so you can narrow your focus before opening a price chart.

Discover Trending Pair Candidates

How the Strength Score Is Calculated

Every currency is first expressed as its USD value. EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD rates are used as-is; USDJPY, USDCHF and USDCAD rates are inverted (1 ÷ rate).

Convert to USD-Denominated Value

Using the opening value of the selected period as the baseline (0), the tool calculates how many percent each currency has moved.

Calculate Return Since Period Start

At each point in time, the average return of all 8 currencies is subtracted from every individual return. This removes the broad market direction (e.g., a USD-wide rally) and leaves only pure relative strength.

Subtract the Average to Neutralize

How to Read the Chart

Because scores represent the difference from the average, they always sum to zero. A positive score means "stronger than average" — not "price will rise." Always confirm price direction on a candlestick chart.

⚠️ Scores Are Relative Values

Use a longer period to determine the trend direction (which currency is strong/weak), then use a shorter period to time your entry. When the short-term and long-term strength agree on direction, signal reliability increases significantly.

💡 The Golden Rule of Analysis

Pattern A — High-Trend Pair

Pattern B — Range-Prone Setup

Pattern C — Strength Reversal

Pattern D — Short & Long Term Agree

How to Analyze With This Tool

The tool tells you which currency pairs deserve attention. Always confirm the final entry with a price chart.

✔ Use It as a Pair Filter

The larger the strength gap, the more likely that cross pair will trend. Use the suggested "Trend Candidate" as your starting point.

✔ Prioritize Strongest × Weakest

Switch through the period buttons. The more timeframes that show the same strength ranking, the higher the signal confidence.

✔ Confirm Short-Term and Long-Term Agree

Pair this tool with moving average analysis, RSI, and an economic calendar to understand the context and sustainability of the strength.

✔ Combine With Other Research Tools

Scores are relative values. Entering without a price-chart confirmation, risk management, or a clear stop level is dangerous.

✘ Don't Trade on Score Alone

A positive score means "stronger than the average" — not that the price will go up. Always verify direction on a price chart.

✘ Don't Confuse Positive With Rising

Strength scores can shift violently around major data releases. Reduce exposure before and immediately after high-impact events.

✘ Don't Ignore Economic Events

Short-term strength can be opposite to long-term strength. Always compare multiple periods before making a decision.

✘ Don't Judge on a Single Timeframe

Market Overview

The latest trading price of each symbol. Displayed in each row of Market Status and updated in real time. In FX, there are two types of quotes — bid (ASK) and offer (BID) — and the difference between them is called the spread.

① Current Price (Quote)

A categorization of financial instruments. FX (currency pairs), stock indices, commodities (gold, oil, etc.), cryptocurrencies, and more — each is a group of instruments with distinct characteristics.

② Asset Class

The price change from the previous day's close, expressed as a percentage. Positive means rise, negative means decline. Symbols with larger change rates have higher volatility and more short-term trading opportunities.

③ Change Rate (Percentage Change)

3 Key Terms to Know First

Display multiple symbols' current prices and change rates in a list. Without opening individual charts one by one, get the whole market feel from a single screen.

Grasp the Whole Market Instantly

The "Major" button shows representative symbols for daily checking; the "Featured" button shows currently moving trend symbols. Quickly discover trading opportunities.

Discover Opportunities with Major / Featured

Switch view by category — FX, stock indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies — using tabs. Concentrate on the asset classes you're interested in for focused analysis.

Filter by Asset Class

First grasp the overall view with "Major," then scan today's active symbols with "Featured" — this routine is effective. Morning check with "Major," frequent "Featured" checks during active hours — this division of labor is recommended.

💡 Use Both for the Best Results

Extracts and displays symbols that are seeing significant moves on the day, ones driven by news or economic indicators, or ones with surging trading volume. The content changes in real time.

Displays a list of the most actively traded representative symbols in the market — major currency pairs like EUR/USD and USD/JPY, major indices like S&P 500 and Nasdaq, representative commodities like gold and oil, and Bitcoin.

Filtering by Asset Class Tabs

FX has high liquidity and narrow spreads / commodities are affected by geopolitics and supply/demand / cryptocurrencies move 24 hours with extreme volatility / indices have limited trading hours. When switching asset classes, always understand the characteristics of the product before trading.

⚠️ Asset Classes Have Very Different Characteristics

At the start of the day, check overall market trends with asset class tab "All" + button "Major." See how major symbols are moving, which asset classes are strong/weak — all in 30 seconds.

Morning Check: "All × Major" for Market Overview

Switch to the "Featured" button to scan symbols moving significantly today. Symbols driven by news, economic indicators, or geopolitical events are listed.

Use "Featured" to Find Today's Active Symbols

Select tabs for asset classes you're skilled in, or those with today's opportunities. Example: filter to "FX" if currency opportunities abound, or "Commodities" if commodities are moving.

Filter to Interesting Categories with Asset Class Tabs

Comprehensively consider change rate, spread, and whether you know the symbol to narrow down deep-analysis targets. Deciding "I won't look at symbols I don't know today" is important.

Narrow Down to 2–4 Interesting Symbols

Click narrowed-down symbols and analyze in detail with MT4/MT5 or other Research Hub tools (Trend Analysis, RSI Analysis, etc.). Set entry / stop loss / take profit, then make trading decisions.

Making it a habit to check Market Status at the same time daily makes it easier to notice shifts in market flow. A short routine completing in 30 seconds to 1 minute is ideal.

✔ Build It Into Your Morning Routine

With only Major you miss opportunities; with only Featured you miss the overall view. Always check both to grasp both the broad view and the opportunities.

✔ Use Both "Major" and "Featured"

Cross-comparing multiple asset classes via the "All" tab reveals risk-on/risk-off market environments. Example: stocks rising + gold falling = risk-on trend.

✔ Cross-Compare Asset Classes

When you find a symbol of interest, analyze it in detail with Trend Analysis, RSI Analysis, Arbitrage Checker, etc. Market Status is the "entrance," other tools are for "deep dive."

✔ Combine with Other Tools

Entering immediately when you see a "+5%" surge is dangerous. Always check the background (news, indicators, geopolitics) and your understanding of the symbol before deciding.

✘ Don't Jump In Based on Price Moves Alone

Trading based only on change rates can have spread costs eat into profits. Especially for short-term trading, avoid symbols with wide spreads. Build the habit of checking spreads in the list too.

✘ Don't Ignore Spreads

Touching asset classes you don't know just because "they're moving" risks heavy losses from trading without understanding characteristics. Learn first, trade later.

✘ Don't Touch Symbols You Don't Know

When a symbol moves significantly, there's always a cause. Jumping in without understanding the background (economic indicators, policy, geopolitics, company news) risks being caught in late-stage trends.

✘ Don't Trade Without Checking News

A limit or stop order placed in the market as a "reservation" that hasn't filled yet. For example, "buy USDJPY when it hits 150.00" — you can see where buy limits are concentrating across the whole market.

① Pending Order

A position that has already been filled and is still being held. For example, "bought USDJPY at 149.50" — you can see at which price levels traders are holding longs or shorts.

② Open Position

A bar chart of pending orders (limits/stops) by price level. Where the bars are unusually tall — the "walls" — those prices tend to act as support or resistance when the orders execute.

③ Order Distribution

A bar chart of open positions by price level. Prices where many traders sit on unrealized losses are exactly the prices likely to trigger sell-offs ("long squeeze") or short squeezes when stops cascade.

④ Position Distribution

The percentage of buy versus sell orders or positions across the market. For example, "60% buy / 40% sell" means most participants are leaning long. Around 50:50 the market lacks direction; at extremes like 80:20 a move against the crowd can trigger sharp swings.
