Using a Currency Strength Meter to Identify Trends and Consolidation

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document introduces a MetaTrader currency strength meter that compares percentage price changes across periods. It presents the tool as a way to identify whether currency markets are trending or consolidating, but it does not describe the calculation in detail or specify how to turn readings into trades.

The page points readers to video tutorials covering the meter’s operation, its use for market regime identification, and compiling the tool in MT4 or MT5. It also mentions a related breakout strength meter. No performance evidence, thresholds, or risk controls are provided, so the material is an introductory description rather than a tested trading method.

Key ideas

  • The meter uses percentage price changes between periods to assess currency strength.
  • It is presented as a tool for distinguishing trending from consolidating markets.
  • The document does not provide calculation details, trade rules, or performance evidence.
