How to trade with the Currency Strength indicator?
As a general rule, always trade the strongest currency versus the weakest currency.
For example, as shown in the NZD/USD chart below, the NZD currency is the strongest while the USD currency is the weakest, so it makes sense to buy the NZD/USD pair.
Imagine the USD currency is the strongest while the NZD currency is the weakest, in this case we would sell the NZD/USD currency pair.
