I dont know whats the exact formula to be employed, but I guess it will have to look into the pair correlations and see what individual currency is doing.
Maybe things like these.
It should tell me which currencies are gaining strength, which are flat and which are losing strength. So I can make out which pairs are strongly trending.
This indi kind of works (but also slows down my mt4 for some reason) but I would like to see more stuff like these.
Majority of "strength" indicator I have seen are simply using some range (daily usually) and then they are comparing the current price to that range. Or something very similar
Correlations are quite different from that (check the correlations I have made and check some of the correlation modes that it cab calculate - but it seems that when no "clear %" is show - as it is not - since there can not be a c"clear 5" - people do not use things like that). And people always forget one thing : whenever some "normalization" is done, the value is "deformed". Deforming the value is giving us a false feeling of knowing what is going on. Better to use start forward "deformers" (like stochastic and rsi) than masked ones (at least that is my opinion)
Use stochastic for multiple pair - it will tell you more about currency strength than any "strength" indicator
