Major Currency Strength Comparison

Description

Last update:
Added: correlation pairs & editable some interfaces

This indicator is used for checking all major currencies strength after comparing them with each other

How it works:
I. Sum of [(high - low) + Abs(open - close)] in the last [input peroids]
II. Average them with one of these (Simple Moving Average, Weighted Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average or use Average True Range instead)
III. Compare each of them with each other, then convert it to the percentage

Let me know if there's any bug or feedback

Cheers

Is there anyway to change to font colour to Black please? Plus can you explain what data is it showing ? Like for instance in the picture above, EURNZD, what is it showing ?

Many Thanks

d.stavenau · 3 years ago

Great Indicator, very useful.. Just a quick question.

in your parameter declarations, you have:-

public MovingAverageType ATRType { get; set; ]

..but the corresponding enum listing doesn't appear to match:-

public enum MAType (i.e. ATRType is not MAType).

I just wondered if this was a typo?

Many thanks.

SGordon1985 · 3 years ago

Hi, what are the benefit of this indicator?....Is it just showing the strenght of the pair or is it showing the strenght of both currency?

Kbee · 4 years ago

I get what you mean. It should be work on both major pairs and cross pairs now after this update

jivkoivanoff2 · 4 years ago

Just to calculate all 28 major pairs,doesont matter what a format to be used

Kbee · 4 years ago

Thank you! Anyways, by 28 major pairs correlation, do you mean to be able to calculate like AUD/JYP, EUR/AUD pairs, and so on using the current format, or you mean to be able to calculate the correlations between currency pairs (-1 to +1) format?

jivkoivanoff2 · 4 years ago

Nice work,but is there are possible to make this one to calculate all major 28 pairs correlation?
