Trade what you see, not what you think. Use mathematical relative strength to navigate the world's most liquid market.

What is Currency Strength Trading?

In most markets, you buy an asset. In Forex, you buy one asset and simultaneously sell another. Currency strength trading is the practice of analyzing each individual currency's value against the rest of the market to find the true "Power Balance."

Instead of guessing if EUR/USD will rise, you look at the EUR Index and the USD Index. If the EUR is being bought globally and the USD is being sold globally, your trading decision becomes a simple mathematical conclusion.

The "Block" Analysis Method

Professional strength traders look for "Blocks." If the AUD, NZD, and CAD (Commodity Currencies) are all gaining strength, they know the market is in a "Risk-On" phase. They then search for the weakest block (usually safe-havens like JPY) to find their trades.
