Professional GBP/JPY Analysis Tool

The foundation of professional trading begins with analyzing individual currencies first, not just currency pairs. By understanding the relative strength of each currency in the pair, traders can anticipate potential market moves with greater accuracy.

This indicator simplifies that process by:

Analyzing Individual Currency Strength:

The strength of GBP is calculated by averaging its performance across seven major GBP currency pairs:
GBP/EUR
GBP/USD
GBP/CAD
GBP/CHF
GBP/AUD
GBP/NZD
GBP/JPY
The strength of JPY is calculated by averaging its performance across seven major JPY currency pairs:
JPY/USD
JPY/CAD
JPY/EUR
JPY/GBP
JPY/AUD
JPY/NZD
JPY/CHF

The values are normalized to allow direct comparison on the same scale.
Identifying Correlation Between GBP and JPY:

The histogram displays the correlation between GBP and JPY strength:
Positive Correlation (Green): Both GBP and JPY are trending up or down together, indicating a less strong trend. This is a market condition to avoid, as both currencies are strengthening or weakening simultaneously.
Negative Correlation (Red): One currency is strong while the other is weak, indicating a stronger trend in GBP/JPY. This scenario presents a better trading opportunity, as you are trading one strong currency against one weak currency, amplifying the potential for a clearer price movement in GBP/JPY.
Visualizing Long/Short Bias:

GBP Strength > JPY Strength: Bullish bias for GBP/JPY (green background).
JPY Strength > GBP Strength: Bearish bias for GBP/JPY (red background).
This indicator equips traders with a deeper understanding of GBP/JPY dynamics by first breaking down the individual currencies. With insights into currency strength, their correlation, and the optimal conditions for trading, it provides a solid foundation for making informed trading decisions.

How to Use:
Check the Histogram for Correlation:
Wait for the histogram to be red. This indicates that GBP and JPY are moving in opposite directions, signaling a stronger trend where you're trading a strong currency against a weak one—a more favorable setup.

Align with Background Color for Confirmation:
Wait for the background color to match your trade plan:

Green Background: Confirms a bullish bias, supporting long positions on the GBP/JPY pair.
Red Background: Confirms a bearish bias, supporting short positions on the GBP/JPY pair.
By following these steps, you can identify stronger trade opportunities and align them with your strategy.
