Check out the new article: Price Action Analysis Toolkit Development (Part 40): Market DNA Passport.
This article explores the unique identity of each currency pair through the lens of its historical price action. Inspired by the concept of genetic DNA, which encodes the distinct blueprint of every living being, we apply a similar framework to the markets, treating price action as the “DNA” of each pair. By breaking down structural behaviors such as volatility, swings, retracements, spikes, and session characteristics, the tool reveals the underlying profile that distinguishes one pair from another. This approach provides more profound insight into market behavior and equips traders with a structured way to align strategies with the natural tendencies of each instrument.
In biology, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that encodes the genetic blueprint unique to every organism. DNA defines biological identity and is passed down through generations. I once watched a case in which a man denied paternity until a DNA test—performed after the child’s birth—proved he was indeed the father. You may wonder how that relates to price-action analysis: the connection is the idea of a persistent, identifiable fingerprint.
In my research I found that each currency pair exhibits its own characteristic price-action signature. Some pairs can behave similarly under shared influences (for example, EURUSD and GBPUSD), while others show distinct behavior. To capture these patterns, I created an automated system that scans each instrument and produces a Market DNA—a compact fingerprint derived from volatility, fractal structure, session rhythms, and retracement behavior. The Market DNA Passport quantifies those traits, allowing you to compare instruments, detect structural shifts (mutations), and select or adapt strategies to prevailing market regimes.
