FX Cross Rates: everycurrency against every other.
FX cross rates show every major currency against every other on 1 grid. It sounds simple, but it answers a question traders often miss: is this a dollar move, or a move in the other currency?
If EURUSD falls, the grid shows you whether the euro is weak everywhere or only against the dollar.
What it shows
A matrix of the major currencies with the live rate and the daily change for every pair.
How to read it
Read across a row. If the euro is down against everything, the move is about the euro. If it is only down against the dollar, the story is the dollar.
Use it in real trading
The tool informs the decision, it never makes it. Here is how it plays out on real trading days.
EURUSD falls, but EURGBP rises. The dollar is strong and sterling is weaker still. GBPUSD is the cleaner short.
You are short EURUSD and GBPUSD. The grid shows both are the same dollar trade.
Mistakes to avoid
- Trading 3 pairs that are the same bet.
- Blaming the wrong currency for a move.
- Ignoring the crosses completely.
What makes it different
The grid sits next to Currency Strength, so you see the rates and the ranking together.
Questions
