Currency Power Index MT5 calculates and displays the relative strength of 8 major currencies (EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, NZD, CAD) by analyzing all 28 cross pairs simultaneously. See at a glance which currency is strengthening and which is weakening right on your chart.
Key Features

- Period Mode — Strength relative to N bars back (dynamic, follows price).
- Start Date Mode — Strength relative to a fixed date (ideal for session or weekly analysis).
- Currency Display Toggle — On-chart button to instantly switch between viewing all 8 currencies or only the two belonging to the current symbol.
- MA Smoothing — Optional Moving Average filter (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA) with adjustable period to reduce noise.
- Auto Suffix Detection — Works with any broker, automatically detects symbol suffixes (e.g. EURUSD.m, EURUSDpro).
- Sorted Labels — Real-time overlay showing all currencies ranked by strength with percentage values.
- Optimized Performance — Bulk data loading (single CopyClose per pair), minimal CPU impact even on M1.
- Works on all timeframes from M1 to MN.
- No DLL required.
Parameters
Main Settings:
- Reference Mode — Period (N bars back) or Start Date (fixed point in time).
- Lookback Period — Number of bars for comparison (default: 10). Used in Period mode.
- Start Date — Fixed reference date. Used in Start Date mode.
- Show Only Chart Currencies — Toggle to limit the displayed lines to the current symbol's currencies.
- Symbol Suffix — Leave empty for auto-detection, or set manually (e.g. ".m", "pro").
- Show Labels — Enable or disable the ranked currency labels on the chart.
MA Smoothing:

How It Works
For each bar, the indicator computes the percentage change of every currency relative to the reference point. Each currency participates in exactly 7 pairs out of the 28. The final strength value is the average across all valid pairs. Positive values indicate appreciation, negative indicate depreciation.
