Smart Currency Strength is a powerful yet simple indicator that measures the strength of individual currencies.
It features a graphic panel that lists the main currencies and their strength in each timeframe, ranging from 0 (most oversold) to 100 (most overbought).
The strength for all currencies in the current timeframe is also shown in a separate window as a multi-line graph, where each currency is represented with a different color, this allows you to monitor the evolution of strength trend through time.
This can be used to identify the most trending currency pair to trade (formed by the most overbought and the most oversold currencies), or as a filter for your strategy, in order to avoid buying a weak currency or selling a strong one.
This indicator can be used in an expert advisor as it features a buffer for each supported currency.
Supported currencies are: EUR, USD, GBP, CAD, AUD, NZD, JPY, CHF
