Multi Currency Strength Dashboard Mini (FREE) – Currency Strength Meter for MetaTrader 5
Multi Currency Strength Dashboard Mini is a free indicator for MetaTrader 5 that displays the relative strength of the 8 major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD) in real time, in a clear and quick-to-read dashboard.
Goal: identify in seconds which currencies are strong and which are weak, so you can build a focused watchlist (for example, pick pairs where a strong currency faces a weak one).
What is new in version 2.00
- Complete visual refresh - TradingTips UI (deep navy panel, neon glow border, blue header bar).
- Color-coded strength bars (Green / Gold / Red) inside section boxes.
- Trend arrows (up / down / neutral) for each of the 8 currencies.
- Drag and drop dashboard - grab the header bar to move it on the chart.
- Minimize button - compact mode keeps the dashboard out of the way.
- Panel position saved between MT5 restarts.
Main features
- Analyzes 8 major currencies in a single panel.
- Automatic real-time updates.
- Works on every timeframe (calculation on the timeframe of your choice).
- Compatible with most brokers (common symbol suffixes handled).
- 8 buffers exposed for reading from an Expert Advisor via iCustom.
- Strategy Tester safety: dashboard and timer disabled in tester mode.
How it works
The indicator calculates a normalized strength from 0 to 100 based on price changes observed on the major pairs available in your Market Watch. The result is displayed as a color-coded ranking.
How to use it
- Add the major Forex symbols to Market Watch (show all).
- Attach the indicator to any chart.
- Set the Calculation Timeframe and Calculation Period.
- Identify the strongest and weakest currencies, then pick consistent pairs.
Expert Advisor integration
The indicator exposes 8 buffers readable via iCustom (index 0 = USD, 1 = EUR, 2 = GBP, 3 = JPY, 4 = CHF, 5 = CAD, 6 = AUD, 7 = NZD). An Expert Advisor can query each currency strength to filter its entries without duplicating the calculation logic. The buffer signature is kept identical since v1.0.
