Here you see it in today's money, with your country's official inflation. #### How much does your money really grow with compound interest? Your buying power grows at your return, minus fees, minus your country's inflation. That's why the number that counts is the one in today's money. In the example below, the middle scenario beats inflation by 4 points a year, and after a 1% fee that leaves just under 3% real. #### A worked example The three scenarios are assumptions, not forecasts: they beat inflation by 2, 4 and 6 points a year, before fees. In all three scenarios you put in the same amount: $25,000 over 20 years, which is worth $16,929 in today's money. In the middle scenario the account reaches $58,627, but at today's prices that equals $24,309, so the real interest adds $7,380. Without the 1% fee, the final value of the middle scenario would be $8,210 higher. These are assumptions, not forecasts: you can't know in advance what an investment will return. #### What to do with this What hurts most is looking at your account years from now, seeing a big number, and finding out it doesn't buy what you were counting on. So look at the "in today's money" figure, because that's what you could buy with it. The return is a guess you type in, so I'd always look at all three scenarios. The only thing you know in advance is the fees, so start there. One point less in fees, compounded over twenty years, weighs more than it looks. After the calculator, two things are still on you. One is knowing whether what you're buying is expensive or cheap, because if you buy expensive, compound interest needs more years to get to the same place. The other is holding on when the market falls, because compound interest only works if you leave the money alone in the bad years. You can't learn that by reading. It takes emotional muscle, and you build it by investing, with a little more weight each week. #### How we calculate it and how to check it Everything is calculated on your device, in half-month steps. In each step the balance grows at the rate that matches your yearly return, the share of the yearly fee that belongs to that step comes out, and your contributions go in on their dates: every month, twice a month or every year, at the start or the end of the period, plus the extra contribution in December. The return is an effective annual rate (APY, AER or EAR). If you pick nominal (APR), it's converted to effective first, using its compounding. The value in today's money divides the result by the accumulated inflation: (1 + inflation) raised to the number of years. The three scenarios add 2, 4 and 6 points of real yearly return on top of your country's inflation, and they multiply, they don't add: yearly return = (1 + inflation) × (1 + real) − 1. With 5% inflation, the middle scenario is 1.05 × 1.04 − 1 = 9.2%. #### Inflation in each country, in one table Compound yearly average of consumer-price inflation over the last 5 and 10 years with official data. It's the one the calculator loads when you pick your country. #### Frequently asked questions ##### How does compound interest work? You earn interest on your interest. What your money earns gets added to the capital, and next year that bigger amount earns too. That's why the first years feel slow and the last ones add the most. ##### How is compound interest calculated? Multiply the balance by one plus the yearly rate, and repeat once for every year. 10,000 at 10% for 10 years is 10,000 × 1.1^10 = 25,937. With contributions, each one grows from the day it goes in. The calculator does that in half-month steps, and the sums are written out in "How we calculate it and how to check it." ##### Does compound interest beat inflation? Only if your return, after fees, is higher than inflation. Inflation compounds too, but against you: every year your money buys a little less. Compare the two lines in the worked example above, the value before taking out inflation and the value in today's money. The distance between them is what inflation takes. ##### How do you calculate real return? Real return is what's left after inflation. The quick way is to subtract: 8% return minus 3% inflation is about 5% real. The exact way is to divide: 1.08 ÷ 1.03 − 1 = 4.85%. Take the fees out first. The calculator gives you the real return after fees and inflation, right under the result. ##### How to calculate compound interest with inflation? Calculate the compound balance first, then divide it by (1 + inflation) raised to the number of years. 25,937 after 10 years with 3% inflation is 25,937 ÷ 1.03^10 = 19,300 in today's money. The calculator does it for you with your country's official inflation. ##### Is compound interest calculated monthly or yearly? It depends on how often the interest is added: every day, every month or every year. With an effective annual rate the result is the same whichever you pick. With a nominal rate (APR), the more often it compounds, the more it earns. The difference is small next to inflation and fees, and the sums are in "How we calculate it and how to check it." ##### When does compound interest really take off? Later than you'd expect. In the first years, most of the balance is what you put in. The interest becomes the bigger part after a decade or two, depending on the rate. Open the year-by-year table under the result and look for the year when the interest passes what you put in. ##### How does compound interest differ from simple interest? Simple interest is paid only on the original amount, so 1,000 at 5% pays 50 every year. Compound interest is paid on the original amount plus the interest already earned, so the second year pays on 1,050. Over a short time the difference is tiny. Over twenty years it's big. ##### Can compound interest work against you? Yes. Debt you don't pay off compounds the same way, and credit card rates are much higher than what an investment usually earns. Fees work against you too: a fund's yearly fee comes out of everything you have invested, so it compounds against you. ##### Does compound interest apply to stocks? It does, but a stock doesn't pay a fixed rate. The price goes up and down, and what compounds is the return you keep, including the dividends you reinvest. That's why the calculator gives you three scenarios and not one number, and why holding through the bad years matters. The return is never a given. ##### Should I use APY, APR or AER? APY (United States), AER (United Kingdom) and the effective annual rate (Canada, Australia, India) already include compounding, and those are what the calculator uses by default. APR and other nominal rates don't include it: if that's the one you have, pick "Nominal annual rate" in "More options" and set its compounding. Be careful not to type a yearly rate as if it were monthly. ##### How long does it take to double my money? (the rule of 72) The rule of 72: divide 72 by the return and you get roughly the years. What matters is how long it takes for what you can buy to double, so use the real return: at 3% real, about 24 years. The calculator tells you under the result. ##### How much do I need to retire? How much should I save each month to reach a goal? It depends on how much you want to spend each month and on the years you have left, so there's no single number that fits every case. In the "How much do I need to contribute?" tab you type your goal in today's money, and the calculator tells you how much to contribute each month to get there. ##### Does the calculator include taxes and fees? Fees yes, and it shows you what they cost in money at the end. Taxes no, because they change with the country and the product, so the result is before taxes. ##### Do I contribute at the start or the end of the month? If you contribute at the start of the month, each contribution works one month longer. The difference is small, but it compounds too. You change it in "More options", under "When". ##### What if I invest in a different currency from the one I earn? Pick the country of the currency you invest in, and the calculator uses that country's inflation. If you convert back later, you add exchange-rate risk, and the calculator doesn't work that out. ##### Are my numbers saved or sent anywhere? No. Everything is calculated on your phone or your computer, with no cookies and no ads.

Free tool · no sign-up ### Lot size calculator: forex, gold and indices You can read the chart, but when you place the order you don't know how much to put in, and one bad streak with a lot that's too big can wipe out the account. Here you get the lot size for MetaTrader from your risk and your stop, in gold and indices too. #### Losing streaks: how many are normal and the drawdown they leave You pick the lot with the streak that's coming in mind, because even a good method loses several in a row. Know beforehand how many losses in a row are normal and how much they weigh on your account. The table says the streak will come, and that isn't meant to scare us: it happens to everyone who speculates. The hard part isn't changing your method or raising the lot after the third loss, and you can't learn that by reading. It takes emotional muscle, and you build it by speculating, with a little more load each week, until a normal streak scares you less. Reference tables: streaks by win rate and drawdown by risk Exact probabilities, no simulation. The longest normal streak is the average of the longest streak over that many trades. #### How do you calculate lot size? The lot is what you want to risk divided by what you lose with 1 lot if the stop is hit, rounded down so you never go over. In the worked example below, 1% of $10,000 with a 150-pip stop on EURUSD gives 0.06 lots, which risk $90. #### A worked example The 1% is an example, and the 150-pip stop is the kind you put on a daily chart. 1. What you want to risk: 1% of 10,000 USD = 100.00 USD. 2. Distance to the stop: 1.1200 − 1.1050 = 0.0150, which is 150 pips. 3. What you lose with 1 lot if the stop is hit: 0.0150 × 100,000 = 1,500.00 USD. 4. Exact lot: 100.00 USD ÷ 1,500.00 USD = 0.0667 lots. 5. Rounded down to the 0.01 step: **0.06 lots**, which is how it's typed in MetaTrader, with a decimal point. Real risk: 0.06 × 1,500.00 USD = 90.00 USD, 0.90% of the account. It rounds down so you never risk more than you ask. With the same stop and a 500 USD account, the minimum lot (0.01) would already risk 15.00 USD, 3.00% of the account: with that stop, to risk 1% you would need about 1,500 USD. #### What to do with this I've seen a lot of accounts burn with a good analysis and a lot that was too big. In the LDP (Lenguaje del Precio) method I use, the order matters: the chart sets the stop, and the lot adjusts to the stop. If with your stop there's no lot that respects your risk, don't move the stop closer to make it fit. Wait until you have a bigger account, or look for an instrument with a smaller contract. I'd say look at the streak table above before you pick your risk, and ask yourself if you could sit through that drop without touching anything. And whatever happens, don't raise the lot to win back what you lost. That's how a normal streak turns into a burned account. #### How we calculate it and how to check it Everything is calculated on your device, with the same rules as the Order Manager in TFX-Trader, one of our MetaTrader tools. The distance to the stop, in price, times the contract size gives what you lose with 1 lot. If the instrument moves in another currency, it's converted to your account's. When your account currency is the first currency of the pair (USDJPY with a dollar account), it uses the stop price, which is when the loss happens. In the other crosses it uses the reference rate of the day, which you can change. The exact lot is what you want to risk divided by what you lose with 1 lot, and it's rounded down to the lot step, so you never risk more than you ask. If it doesn't reach the minimum lot, the minimum is used only if it risks at most 20% more than you asked. Past that, there's no lot. If you split the entry into several orders, they all carry the same lot, rounded down, and their number never changes. Streaks are calculated exactly, with no simulation: the probability of getting at least one streak of k losses in a row over your trades, with your win rate. With a streak of k losses and a risk r per trade, the account drops 1 − (1 − r)^k, and to get back you need to gain drop ÷ (1 − drop). #### How much is a pip or a point worth with 1 lot With the most usual contracts. If it doesn't match in your MetaTrader, your broker uses another contract: change it in the calculator, in "Contract". #### Frequently asked questions ##### How to calculate lot size in forex? Turn your risk into money: 1% of $10,000 is $100. Measure the distance to your stop, say 150 pips, and work out what you lose with 1 lot if the stop is hit: on EURUSD that's $10 a pip, so $1,500. Divide 100 by 1,500 and you get 0.067. Round down to your broker's step: 0.06 lots. ##### What is lot size in forex? It's the size of your position. In forex, 1 lot is 100,000 units of the first currency in the pair, and 0.01 is a micro lot, 1,000 units. It works like clothing sizes: the same jacket fits you or chokes you depending on the size, and the same trade is bearable or takes the account depending on the lot. ##### How much lot size should I use in forex? It comes from your account, your risk and your stop, all three together. The same lot risks little with a short stop and a lot with a wide one, which is why the calculator asks for all three. The risk per trade is your decision, and the losing streak table above shows what each level of risk costs you. ##### How to calculate lot size for gold? The same as in forex, but with its own contract. The usual one is 100 ounces per lot, and some brokers use 1 ounce, which changes the lot a hundredfold. Check it in the Specification window of your MetaTrader before you calculate. ##### How to calculate lot size for the Nasdaq or the S&P 500? Indices are counted in points, and with the most usual contract 1 point is worth $1 per lot. Some brokers use $0.1, $10 or $100 per lot, and in the DAX the point is in euros. If yours is different, change it in "Contract". ##### What lot size can I trade with $100? It depends on your stop, and with $100 it's a tight fit. At 1% risk you can lose $1 per trade. On EURUSD the smallest lot, 0.01, moves about $0.10 per pip, so $1 covers a 10-pip stop. On daily and weekly charts the stop is usually much wider, and then the calculator will tell you there's no lot that respects your risk. Don't move the stop closer to make it fit. ##### How much is 0.01 lot size in forex? 0.01 is a micro lot: 1,000 units of the first currency in the pair. On EURUSD each pip is worth about $0.10, so a 50-pip move is about $5. On gold with a 100-ounce contract, 0.01 lots is 1 ounce, so every dollar the price moves is a dollar for you. ##### How to calculate pip value in forex? Multiply the pip size (0.0001, or 0.01 in yen pairs) by the contract size (100,000 for 1 lot). On EURUSD that's 0.0001 × 100,000 = $10 per pip for each lot. If the profit currency isn't your account currency, convert it. The table "How much is a pip or a point worth with 1 lot" has the usual instruments with the rates of the day. ##### How much drawdown is acceptable in trading? There's no number that works for every account. The right one is the drop you can sit through without changing your plan, and you only find that out with money at risk. What the numbers do say is that recovering costs more than falling: after a 20% drop you need 25% to get back, and after 50% you need 100%. The table above shows how many losses in a row it takes to get there with your risk. ##### How do I find the contract size in MT4 and MT5? In Market Watch, right-click the symbol and choose Specification: the contract size, the minimal volume and the volume step are there. Look at the suffix (.pro, .m), because the same symbol can have different conditions. ##### What if the calculator gives me less than 0.01 lots? It means that with that stop your account is too small to respect your risk. The calculator tells you how much the minimum lot would risk and how big an account you'd need. What you shouldn't do is move the stop closer to make it fit, because the stop goes where the chart puts it. ##### Does leverage change lot size? No. Leverage changes the margin your broker holds, but what you lose if the stop is hit is decided by the lot and the stop. ##### Pips or points? Why is my lot ten times off? MetaTrader counts in points, and in a five-decimal pair 1 pip is 10 points. If you type points where pips go, the lot comes out ten times wrong. If in doubt, type the stop as a price and there's no confusion. ##### Why do two lot size calculators give different results? Usually it's the rounding (some round down and some to the nearest), the exchange rate, the contract size, or mixing up pips and points. This one rounds down, so you never go over your risk, and it shows you the sum. ##### How many losses in a row are normal? More than you'd think: with a 50% win rate, over 100 trades the normal longest streak is about 6 losses, and having 5 in a row happens more than 8 times out of 10. The table above works it out with your numbers. ##### How big an account do I need to trade daily or weekly charts with a wide stop? It depends on the stop and the risk. With a 300-pip stop and 1% risk, the minimum lot of 0.01 asks for about $3,000 in the account on a dollar pair, and with less you can't respect that risk. #### Where the data comes from - Exchange rates: the [European Central Bank's reference rates](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/index.en.html), published every business day around 16:00 Frankfurt time, for information only. The cross rates between currencies are calculated by TendenciasFX from them. - Currencies the ECB doesn't publish, like several Latin American ones: [Frankfurter](https://frankfurter.dev/), which blends public central-bank data, shared for information only, with no warranty. For Argentina it's the official rate, and many people look at others: if that's you, type yours. - The offshore yuan (CNH) is approximated with the ECB's yuan (CNY); the difference is usually very small. - Contract sizes: the most usual in MetaTrader (100,000 in currency pairs, 100 ounces in gold, 5,000 in silver and 1 per point in indices). Every broker defines its own: check them in the Specification window of your MetaTrader. The result is informational and depends on the numbers you type. It's not investment advice or a signal, and the real loss can be a little larger because of the spread, the commission and slippage. The calculator doesn't use cookies and doesn't send your data to anyone. Your browser remembers the account currency, the risk and the contracts you change, for next time. The balance is never saved. ## Currency strength meter Address: https://tendenciasfx.com/en/tools/currency-strength-meter/ Open data: https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/fuerza.json, https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/fuerza.csv Sources: TendenciasFX's own model (only each currency's rank is published, nothing else) and the European Central Bank's reference rates.

Free tool · no sign-up ### Currency strength meter: the 23 currencies ranked every week You see a pair climbing on your chart and you can't tell if it's real strength or a push that turns around tomorrow. Every week, this page ranks the 23 currencies by their economies and, right next to that, by what their prices did. It updates weekly on purpose, so don't expect a live meter. #### How to read it The fundamentals column ranks the 23 currencies by how their economies are doing against their own history. The price column ranks them by what each one gained or lost against the other 22 over the last few weeks. When both put a currency near the top, or both near the bottom, they're pointing the same way. When they don't match, there's something to look at calmly before you do anything. #### What to do with this You buy a currency because a meter puts it on top, and the price had already made the whole move. That's why this table tells you which side to look at, and never when to get in. Start with the currencies that sit at the top, or at the bottom, in both columns, because there the economy and the price are going the same way. After that you wait for the chart. In the LDP (Lenguaje del Precio) method I wait for the daily and the weekly to be on my side, and then for the trigger on the close of a candle, with a relevant Level nearby. If the chart doesn't confirm, there's no entry, however well the two columns agree. Waiting is what costs most of us, and the emotional muscle that holds it isn't built by reading: you build it by speculating, with a little more weight each week. #### How we calculate it and how to check it ##### The price column It comes from the European Central Bank's euro reference rates. They're set around 14:10 and published around 16:00 Frankfurt time on every business day, and they say how many units of each currency one euro buys. We take the fixing of the latest Friday and the fixings of the Fridays 1, 4 and 12 weeks earlier. If a Friday has no fixing, we use the last business day before it. Call X the units of a currency per euro (the euro is 1). The change of each currency is v = −ln(X on the Friday ÷ X on the Friday N weeks earlier). It's positive when it now takes fewer units to buy one euro, which means the currency gained. The strength is v minus the average v of the other 22 currencies, as a percentage with two decimals: how much the currency gained or lost, on average, against each of the other 22. That's why the column adds up to zero. We use the logarithm because a rise and a fall of the same size cancel out and the changes can be added. For small moves it's almost the same as the percentage change. The rank, from 1 to 23, orders those strengths, and two currencies with the same two-decimal figure share a rank. Measuring against the euro is only a reference, and it doesn't matter which currency you measure against: the order is the same. If you take the dollar instead of the euro, or the average of all of them, the v of every currency moves by the same amount, so the strength comes out identical and no rank changes. The ECB rates we use are in the public JSON file, under "tipos_bce", so you can redo any figure in the table with a spreadsheet. A few things worth knowing. The ECB fixing is from 14:10 in Frankfurt and it isn't your broker's close, so it won't match your MetaTrader to the decimal. It leaves out the interest each currency pays (the swap). And the Turkish lira, the rand and the Mexican peso move more, which is why they often land at the extremes. There's no smoothing and no volatility adjustment: it's the picture of each Friday, and it isn't repainted. ##### The fundamentals column It comes from TendenciasFX's own model: 23 currencies and 17 data points from each country's economy, each one measured against that country's own history and recalculated every week. From that comes the rank of each currency, from 1 to 23. Ties share a rank (17, 17, 19). We don't publish the score of each currency or the formula, because they're the core of the model. The rank is enough to compare. #### History: each currency's rank, week by week The latest week is on top. The history starts on September 28, 2026, the first week with every series of the model up to date. The earlier weeks aren't included. #### Frequently asked questions ##### What is a currency strength meter? It shows how much a currency gains or loses against the others over a set time. This one measures it in two ways: by each country's economy, with a rank from 1 to 23 every week, and by price, with what the currency gained or lost on average against the other 22. ##### How does a currency strength meter work? Most of them take the price changes of a currency against every other currency over some period and average them. Ours does that with the ECB's reference rates over 1, 4 and 12 weeks, and adds a second column that ranks each currency by its economy. The price method is written out in full above. The fundamentals method is ours, and we don't publish it. ##### How to read a currency strength meter? In this table, 1 is the strongest currency and 23 the weakest. The arrow in the fundamentals column shows how many places the currency moved up or down from last week. The "Don't match" tag appears when one column puts the currency in the top 6 and the other in the bottom 6, with price over 12 weeks. ##### How is currency strength measured? For price, with the change of the currency against each of the other 22, averaged, using the ECB's reference rates. For fundamentals, with 17 data points from each country's economy, each one measured against that country's own history. Meters differ in the period, the pairs and the formula they use, and most don't publish theirs. ##### Does a currency strength meter work? It works for seeing where the money has been moving. It can't tell you when to enter, because price strength looks back. That's why this page puts the economy next to it: when both agree, you have a side to look at, and the chart still decides the moment. I wouldn't trade on a meter alone. ##### Which currency strength meter is best? I'd say the one that lets you check it: it tells you where the data comes from and how it's calculated. Here the price method is written out in full, with the source and the date of every figure. And next to it there's something no other free meter I know of gives you: the rank of each currency by the economy of its country. ##### What determines currency strength? Interest rates, inflation, growth, jobs, government debt and the trade balance all play a part, and so does what investors expect from the central bank. They don't act at the same speed: the price can move first, and the economy shows up in it later. ##### What is the strongest currency in the world right now? It depends on what you mean by strong. By the value of one unit, the lists of the world's strongest currencies put the Kuwaiti dinar first, and that says nothing about where it's going. Here strong means something else: the currency whose economy is best against its own history, or the one that gained most against the others. This week's leaders top the two columns of the table. ##### What is fundamental analysis in forex? It's looking at the economy behind a currency, like interest rates, inflation, jobs and growth, to judge which of two currencies is stronger. In the LDP method it's where I start, because it tells me which side of a pair to look at. The chart tells me when, and I wait for it. ##### How to trade forex using a currency strength meter? You match a currency from the top of the table with one from the bottom, better if both columns agree, and check that the pair is at your broker. Then you go to the chart, which has the last word. The meter says which side to look at, and it can't say when to get in. ##### How to know which currency is stronger? Look at where it sits in both columns. If it's near the top in fundamentals and in price, it's the stronger one. If it's high in one and low in the other, the two measures disagree, and that's a reason to look at the chart before you do anything. ##### Is there a live currency strength meter? This one isn't live, and that's on purpose: it's a picture of each week. The fundamentals column is recalculated every Monday and the price comes from the ECB's reference rate of each Friday. For those of us who trade the daily and the weekly charts, the noise of every minute adds nothing. ##### Why doesn't the currency strength meter match my MetaTrader chart? The ECB sets its reference rate once a day, around 14:10 in Frankfurt, and your broker closes its candle at another time and with its own price. The numbers won't match to the decimal. What matters here is the order and the direction over several weeks. ##### Why do fundamentals and price say different things? Price sometimes runs ahead of the data and sometimes lags behind it. When it lags, it's because the economy takes months to reach the price: the money goes first through the banks, then through credit, companies and wages. ##### Does the currency strength meter work for gold? No. It's made for currencies, and gold has no economy behind it that could be measured the same way. ##### Is there a currency strength indicator for MT4 and MT5? Pair by pair, yes, in the MetaTrader tools: the Conditioning filter ranks the pairs live by their relative strength, and the Signal of each pair shows on its own chart. #### Where the data comes from - Price: the [European Central Bank's euro reference exchange rates](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/index.en.html), set around 14:10 and published around 16:00 Frankfurt time on every business day, for information only. They're free to use with credit to the source ([ECB terms](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/services/using-our-site/disclaimer/html/index.en.html)). TendenciasFX calculates the strength of each currency from them. - The Chinese yuan (CNH) uses the figure for the onshore yuan (CNY), because the ECB doesn't publish the CNH. The two move very close together. - Fundamentals: the TendenciasFX model, recalculated every week. Only the rank of each currency is published. - Open data: [fuerza.json](https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/fuerza.json) (the ranks, the strengths, the history and the ECB rates that were used) and [fuerza.csv](https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/fuerza.csv) (this week's table). The field names are in Spanish. Free to use with credit to TendenciasFX and the European Central Bank. It updates itself: the price every Friday after the ECB fixing, the fundamentals every week. It's information, not investment advice, and it doesn't say when to enter any pair.

This tool shows you on your own clock when the forex market opens and closes and when the daily and weekly candles close, with the time change already counted. By JH Grandgerard · Clock changes calculated on October 17, 2026 #### Forex market hours by country The market opens on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. New York time and closes on Friday at the same time, and the daily candle of most MetaTrader brokers closes at that hour every day. In your country that time moves when the United States changes its clocks, and again if your country changes its clocks too. The table already counts that, with the date of each change. If you live somewhere that isn't in the list, or in a town that follows a different time zone, the tool above uses your browser's time zone and gives you your own time. #### Forex sessions in your time: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York The market sessions have no official hours and every page gives its own. In this tool we use the working day of each city, 9:00 to 18:00 in Sydney and Tokyo and 8:00 to 17:00 in London and New York, each with the clock change of its city (Tokyo has none). Sydney changes its clocks the other way round from Europe and the United States, because their summer is in December. #### What time does the forex market open and close? The currency market opens on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. New York time and closes on Friday at the same time, and in between it's open day and night. The daily candle at most MetaTrader brokers closes at that same time every day, and the weekly candle on Friday, with the market. In your country that time is the one in the table above, with the clock changes already included. #### What to do with this On daily and weekly charts, the time doesn't matter for sitting in front of the screen. It matters for the candle close. A daily candle that's half formed can look like a trigger at noon and stop being one at the close, because the price still has hours to turn around. That's why I look at the chart with the candle already closed, and without hurry. Even with the candle closed there's no rush. In the LDP (Lenguaje del Precio) method I wait for the daily and the weekly to be on my side, and then for the trigger on the close of a candle, with a relevant Level nearby. If the chart doesn't confirm, there's no entry. That wait is what costs most of us, and the emotional muscle that holds it isn't built by reading: you build it by speculating, with a little more weight each week. #### How we calculate it and how to check it There is a single reference: 5:00 p.m. New York time. That's when the market opens on Sunday, closes on Friday and closes every daily candle at most MetaTrader brokers, which set their server to UTC+2 in winter and UTC+3 in US summer so that the server's midnight falls right at that hour. The tool turns that 5:00 p.m. into your country's time with the time zone database of your own browser, the same one your phone uses to change the clock, so the clock change comes already counted, with no hand-written lists of dates. That's why the local time moves when the United States changes its clocks (the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of November) and, if your country changes its clocks too, again when yours does. The UK changes them on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October, and Australia in October and April. Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, India, Singapore and Japan don't change them at all. If another page gives you a different time for a session, it's because the sessions have no official hours, and we use the working day of each city, with its clock change, always inside the market week. That doesn't change the candle close. For your broker, the tool takes the time your server shows in MetaTrader, works out its difference with UTC and tells you what time in your country the server's midnight falls, which is when your broker closes the daily candle. #### Frequently asked questions ##### What time does the forex market open on Sunday? At 5:00 p.m. New York time, which in your country is the time in the table above. In Nigeria, for example, it's 10:00 p.m. from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November, and 11:00 p.m. the rest of the year. With the Sunday open the Monday daily candle begins. ##### What time does the forex market close on Friday? The market closes on Friday at 5:00 p.m. New York time, and the Friday daily candle and the weekly candle close with it. There are no new prices until Sunday at the same hour, even though news keeps coming out over the weekend, and that's why the price can open far from where it closed. ##### What time does the daily candle close in forex? At most MetaTrader brokers, the daily candle closes at 5:00 p.m. New York time, because they set their server to UTC+2 or UTC+3 so that the server's midnight falls at that hour. If your broker's server is on another time zone, its candle closes at another hour, and you can check it above, under "What time does the candle close at your broker?" ##### Does the forex market close on weekends? Yes. It's closed on Saturday, on Sunday until 5:00 p.m. New York time and on Friday from that hour. Banks stay shut but news doesn't, so the Sunday open can gap away from Friday's close. ##### Is the forex market open 24 hours? From Sunday at 5:00 p.m. New York time to Friday at the same hour, day and night. If every page gives you a different time, it's because some give GMT, others a country's time and others New York's, and most ignore the clock changes: a table that says 4:00 p.m. in Chicago without saying which weeks it means is wrong for part of the year. Here everything comes from 5:00 p.m. New York time, converted with the time zone database of your browser. ##### How many forex sessions are there? Four: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. They have no official hours, so every page uses its own. Here we use the working day of each city (9:00 to 18:00 in Sydney and Tokyo, 8:00 to 17:00 in London and New York) with its own clock changes. London and New York overlap for a few hours, and that's when there's usually more movement. ##### Does daylight saving time change forex market hours? The market itself doesn't change, but the hour on your clock does. It always opens and closes at 5:00 p.m. New York time, and New York changes its clocks on the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of November. If your country also changes its clocks, the time moves again when yours does, and for a few weeks a year Europe and the United States are out of step. Countries with no clock changes, like Nigeria, India and Japan, see the time move only when New York changes. ##### What is the best time to trade forex? It depends on the time frame you speculate on. On the daily and the weekly, which is how we work at TendenciasFX, the best time is the one that lets you look at the chart with the candle already closed, and calmly, so after the close time in the table above. If you speculate in minutes, some hours do have more movement than others, like when London and New York are open at the same time. But on the daily and the weekly I'd say you only need to know when the candle closes, without sitting in front of the screen at any particular hour. ##### What are the forex market hours in India? The market opens on Monday at 2:30 a.m. Indian time from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November, and at 3:30 a.m. the rest of the year, and it closes on Saturday at the same hour. India doesn't change its clocks, so the time only moves when New York changes. The daily candle closes at that same hour every day. ##### What time does the forex market close in Nigeria? On Friday at 10:00 p.m. Nigerian time from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November, and at 11:00 p.m. the rest of the year. Nigeria doesn't change its clocks, so it's New York that moves the time. The daily candle closes at that hour every day, too. ##### Does the forex market close on Christmas and New Year's Day? On December 25 and January 1 most brokers don't open the currency market, because the big financial centers are closed, and on the 24th and the 31st they usually close early. Your broker publishes the exact hours every year, and which day of the week they fall on this year is above, under the table by country. ##### Is the forex market open on holidays? Mostly yes. When it's a holiday in one country, the market stays open because the rest of the world is working, although that country's currency moves less. The exceptions are December 25 and January 1, when most brokers don't open. Your broker publishes the exact hours. ##### What time does the weekly candle close in forex? On Friday at 5:00 p.m. New York time, with the close of the market, and the next one starts on Sunday at that same hour, with the open. In your country it's the time in the table above, the same as the daily candle close. ##### Why does my MT4 chart show a different time? Because MetaTrader shows the time of your broker's server, which can be different from your country's. At most brokers the server is on UTC+2 in winter and UTC+3 in US summer, so the daily candle closes at the server's midnight, which is 5:00 p.m. New York time. You can leave it alone, because all you need is to know what time in your country that midnight falls. ##### Why is there a tiny candle on Sunday on my chart? Because your broker has its server on a time zone where the Sunday open still falls on a Sunday, UTC for example. Those few hours make a candle of their own, a small one, and your daily candles are no longer the ones of the great majority of brokers, so the Levels you draw on them can come out different. With the server on UTC+2 or UTC+3 it doesn't happen. #### Where the data comes from - The hours: the [IANA time zone database](https://www.iana.org/time-zones), the one phones and computers carry, with each country's clock changes. It uses the copy your browser has; if your browser is very old, it may not know a recent change, like Paraguay's fixed time since 2024. - The reference hour, 5:00 p.m. New York time: the one used by the great majority of MetaTrader brokers, which put their server on UTC+2 or UTC+3 depending on US time. - The sessions: the working day of each city, because they have no official hours. - Christmas Day and New Year's Day: the calendars brokers publish every year, and the days TARGET, the European Central Bank's payment system, is closed, among them December 25 and January 1. The clock changes are calculated again every time you open the page, with your device's date. This is information, not investment advice, and it doesn't say when to enter any pair.

Licence: Free to use with credit to TendenciasFX (tendenciasfx.com). For information only: it is not investment advice and it doesn't say when to enter. Free tool · no sign-up ### Forex signals today: which of the 7 major pairs have a Signal You copy a signal from a channel, get in without knowing why, and when the price turns you can't tell whether to wait or get out. There's no entry here. Every week this page tells you if each of the 7 major pairs is expensive or at a discount, by the economy of its two currencies, and since which month. #### How to read the table Each row is a major pair and, if it has a Signal, the sign says which side it's on. If it says "No Signal now", the fundamentals don't mark that pair this week, and that's the usual case. #### What to do with this If a major pair has a Signal, you know which side the fundamentals see it on and since when. If it doesn't, there's nothing to force. In both cases the technical analysis can always be done. The Signal tells you which side the pair is on, never when to get in. That's decided on the chart: in the LDP (Lenguaje del Precio) method I wait for the daily and the weekly to be on my side, and then for the trigger on the close of a candle, with a relevant Level nearby. If the chart doesn't confirm, there's no entry, even if the fundamentals are shouting. Waiting is what costs most of us, and the emotional muscle that holds it is built by speculating, with a little more weight each week. #### What the Signal is and what it isn't ##### What it measures Our model puts each currency against the history of its own country: 23 currencies and 17 data points from the economy of each one, redone every week. From that comes how far each pair is from normal, because a pair joins two economies and one of them can be far ahead of the other. When a pair moves far enough, its Signal is born, and over the months it fades until it goes out. ##### Why a minus sign means a discount In the header of the MetaTrader chart, the minus means discount, the same as in stocks, where a −30% is a cheap company. ##### What the Signal isn't It says which side the pair is on according to the fundamentals, and since when. It isn't an order to buy or sell, and it promises nothing. The moment to enter is decided by each person on their own chart, and on the chart you always wait. ##### Why the 7 major pairs Because they're the ones people search for and trade the most: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD and NZDUSD. The model measures many more pairs, and the counter above says how many have a Signal today. ##### How often it changes The model is redone every week, so the Signal and the ranks change at that pace. Looking at them every hour tells you nothing new, and for those of us who trade the daily and the weekly charts it's all we need. #### Frequently asked questions ##### Are forex signals reliable? No signal can guarantee a result, and I'd be wary of any that does. Ours promises nothing: it says whether the fundamentals still favor one side of the pair, and you decide the entry on your own chart. ##### Do forex signals work? A signal can't work for you if you don't know why you're in the trade. When you copy a call with an entry and a stop, you can't check it, and when the price turns you don't know whether to wait or get out. Ours tells you which side the economy favors and since when, and the entry stays with you. ##### Are forex signals worth it? I'd first ask whether you can check what you're paying for. With a paid signal group you usually can't. Here there's nothing to pay, and you can follow every Signal week by week, with the month it started, and judge it yourself. ##### How do forex signals work? Most of them are a call to buy or sell a pair at a price, with a stop and a target, sent to you by a group or an app. Ours works differently: it shows which side of the pair the fundamentals favor, and since which month. The chart decides the entry. ##### How can I get free forex signals? This page is free and has no sign-up: you see the Signal of the 7 major pairs, which side each one is on and since which month. It doesn't give entry prices or stops. The other pairs of the model show up in the MetaTrader tools. ##### How much do forex signals cost? Prices vary a lot from one service to another, and a high price doesn't make a signal better. This page costs nothing. The MetaTrader tools, which show the Signal of every pair in the model on its own chart, are a paid product. ##### How many major currency pairs are there? Seven: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, USDCAD and NZDUSD. They all include the US dollar and they're the ones traded the most, which is why the table starts with them. ##### What is fundamental analysis in forex? It means looking at the economy behind each currency of a pair, like interest rates, inflation, jobs and growth, to see which one is stronger. In the table you see the rank of each currency among the 23 in the model, which is the result of that analysis. ##### Does the Signal say when to enter, buy or sell? No, never. The Signal says which side the pair is on, and not when to get in. That's decided on the chart, with the daily and the weekly on your side, and until the chart confirms, there's no entry. ##### Do you send forex signals by email or by messaging app? No. You look at this page whenever you want. It doesn't send you messages or ask for your phone number, and it's redone every week, which is enough for those of us who trade the daily and the weekly. ##### Are there live forex signals? Not in real time, and that's on purpose. The model is redone every week, and the Signal you see is from that run. A signal that changes every minute is made for the shortest charts. We decide with what holds for weeks and months. ##### What is today's forex signal for EURUSD? Look at the first row of the table. If it says "No Signal now", the fundamentals don't mark the pair this week. If it shows a number, it's the same one you see in the header of the MetaTrader chart, with its side and the month it started. ##### What does "No Signal now" mean? That this week the fundamentals don't mark that pair, or that its Signal already faded out. The technical analysis can always be done, Signal or not. ##### Why does the Signal show a minus sign? Because in the header of the MetaTrader chart, the minus means discount. A pair at −17% is at a discount and shows in green. One at +17% is expensive and shows in red. ##### How often do the signals change? Every week, when the model is redone. A Signal fades over the months until it goes out, although a pair that moves away from normal again can get a new one. ##### Does this signal work for day trading? Everything moves faster on minute charts, that's true, but this Signal comes from the fundamentals, and the fundamentals take months to show up in the price. That's why we use it with the daily and the weekly. ##### Is there a forex signals indicator for MT4 and MT5? Yes, in the MetaTrader tools: the Signal shows in the header of the chart of each pair, with its side and the month it started, and a filter shows the pairs that have one. Here you see the 7 majors. ##### How many pairs have a signal today? The counter under the table says it: how many pairs have a live Signal out of all the ones the model measures. We don't publish which ones. #### Where the data comes from - The Signal and the ranks come from the TendenciasFX model: 23 currencies and 17 data points from the economy of each country, each one against the history of its own country, recalculated every week. From it we publish the Signal of the 7 major pairs, the rank of their currencies and how many pairs have a Signal, and nothing else. - The ranks are the same as in the [currency strength meter](https://tendenciasfx.com/en/tools/currency-strength-meter/), because they come from the same run. - Open data: [senales.json](https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/senales.json) and [senales.csv](https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/senales.csv), with this week's table. The field names are in Spanish. Free to use with credit to TendenciasFX. The page updates itself when the model finishes its run of the week. Everything on this page is information, not investment advice, and it doesn't say when to enter any pair. The page doesn't use cookies and doesn't ask you for any data. ## Forex correlation Address: https://tendenciasfx.com/en/tools/forex-correlation/ Open data: https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/correlacion.json, https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/correlacion.csv Sources: European Central Bank reference exchange rates; the correlation is calculated by TendenciasFX. Licence: Free to use with credit to TendenciasFX (tendenciasfx.com) and the European Central Bank. For information only: it is not investment advice. Free tool · no sign-up ### Forex correlation: the currency correlation table, daily and weekly You buy EURUSD in one trade and GBPUSD in another, and you think you spread the risk. Then one morning the dollar turns and you lose on both at once. This table tells you, on the daily and the weekly, which pairs move together and which move the opposite way, so you don't double your risk without knowing it. #### How to read it Near 1, buying both pairs is almost opening the same trade twice. Near −1, buying one and selling the other is too. Near 0, each goes its own way. Since correlation changes with the period, the table lets you see three periods: 1, 3 and 6 months on the daily, and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years on the weekly. #### What to do with this Before you open a second trade, look up the pair of that trade and see how much it moves with the pair you already have open. If the correlation is over 0.8 buying both, or under −0.8 buying one and selling the other, you have one idea with the risk of two. The table tells you which pairs look alike, never when to get in. That's decided on the chart: in the LDP (Lenguaje del Precio) method I wait for the daily and the weekly to be on my side, and then for the trigger on the close of a candle, with a relevant Level nearby. Until the chart confirms, there's no entry, however far apart two pairs have moved. Waiting is what costs most of us, and that patience is emotional muscle: you build it by speculating, with a little more weight each week. #### How we calculate it and how to check it ##### The price of each pair The table comes from the European Central Bank's euro reference rates, the ECB fixing. They're set around 14:10 and published around 16:00 Frankfurt time on every business day, and they say how many units of each currency one euro buys. With them you get the price of any pair. GBPUSD, for example, is the dollars one pound buys, which is the dollars per euro divided by the pounds per euro. ##### The return and the correlation For each pair we take the log return, which is ln(today's price ÷ the previous day's price). On the weekly we use the fixing of each Friday, or the last business day before it if that Friday had no fixing, and we compare each Friday with the one before. It's logarithmic because a rise and a fall of the same size cancel out and the changes can be added. The correlation of two pairs is Pearson's, between their two columns of returns: the covariance of the two divided by the product of their standard deviations, which gives a number from −1 to 1. The periods are exact: on the daily, 21 business days (1 month), 63 (3 months) and 126 (6 months); on the weekly, 26 weeks (6 months), 52 (1 year) and 104 (2 years). We don't offer 1 month on the weekly, because it would be 4 points, and with 4 points a correlation says nothing. The ECB rates we use are in the public file correlacion.json, under "serie", so you can redo any cell with a spreadsheet: the logarithm of each rate, the difference from one day to the day before, and the CORREL function over the two columns. ##### Worth knowing The ECB fixing is from 14:10 in Frankfurt and it isn't your broker's close, so the figure won't match your broker's to the decimal. What matters is the sign and the strength of the relationship. Correlation measures the past: it says how the pairs moved together, not how they will move. When the short period and the long one say different things, the relationship is usually changing, and that's information too. Two pairs that share a currency look alike in part for that reason: EURJPY and GBPJPY both carry the yen. And a pair that joins the Hong Kong dollar with the US dollar, or the Danish krone with the euro, moves very little, because those two currencies are pegged, the first to the dollar and the second to the euro, so its correlation measures mostly noise. The Chinese yuan (CNH) uses the figure for the onshore yuan of mainland China (CNY), because the ECB doesn't publish the CNH. ##### And gold? The ECB doesn't publish gold, and we haven't found an official, free source of the daily price of gold that we're allowed to reuse. That's why it isn't in this table, and we won't fill the gap with data of doubtful license. #### Frequently asked questions ##### What is correlation in forex? It's how much two currency pairs move together. It's measured with a number from −1 to 1: near 1 they move the same, near −1 the opposite, and near 0 each goes its own way. ##### What is currency correlation? It's the same idea seen from the currencies. Two pairs correlate when they share a currency, or when the same news moves both. Here you get the number for 28 main pairs, daily and weekly, and the finder gives it for any pair among the 23 currencies. ##### Which forex pairs are most correlated? Pairs that share a currency tend to look alike, because that currency moves both. Those that carry the dollar as the quote currency, like EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD, tend to move together, and those that carry it as the base, like USDCHF, USDCAD and USDJPY, tend to move the opposite way to them. The table gives you today's number, and the finder gives it for any pair. ##### Which currency pairs are not correlated? Look for the cells near 0 in the table, from −0.19 to 0.19: each of those pairs goes its own way. It changes with the period, so check the three periods before you count on it. ##### How to use correlation in forex? Before you open a new trade, look up the pair of that trade and see how much it moves with the pairs you already have open. If the correlation is over 0.8 buying both, or under −0.8 buying one and selling the other, you're repeating the same trade. Then the risk you take is the risk of two, even if you think they're two different ideas. ##### How to trade correlated forex pairs? You can build a strategy around it, but I use correlation for something simpler: to know how much I'm risking in total before I open the second trade. The entry is always decided on the chart, and on the chart you wait. ##### How to read a correlation matrix? Each row and each column is a pair, and each cell is the correlation between the row pair and the column pair. The diagonal is always 1, because a pair moves exactly the same as itself. Look for the dark green cells, where they move almost the same, and the dark gold ones with a minus sign, where they move almost opposite. ##### How is correlation calculated? With Pearson's correlation between the log returns of the two pairs, which are the change of each day (or each week) measured with the logarithm so the changes can be added. The calculation is explained step by step, with real numbers, in "How we calculate it and how to check it." ##### What does a correlation of 0.8 or −0.8 mean? With 0.8, the two pairs move in the same direction most of the time; with −0.8, in the opposite one. In practice, buying both (with 0.8), or buying one and selling the other (with −0.8), is almost opening the same trade twice. ##### Which period should I use to measure forex correlation? Look at the three periods. If the short one and the long one say the same, the relationship holds, and if they don't match, it's usually changing. That's why the table has 1, 3 and 6 months on the daily, and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years on the weekly. ##### Why does the correlation between pairs change? Because what moves each currency changes with time: central banks, inflation, jobs and the news of each country. Two pairs that went together six months ago can split apart today, so you have to look at the correlation of now. ##### Which pairs have a negative correlation? The ones that move in opposite directions, which show in gold with a minus sign in the table. A typical case is EURUSD and USDCHF, because in one the dollar is the quote currency and in the other the base. If you buy both, part of it cancels out; if you buy one and sell the other, both are betting on the same thing. ##### Which timeframe should I use to look at correlation? For this table, the daily and the weekly, which is where we speculate calmly. On minute charts correlation moves faster, that's true, but we decide with what holds for weeks and months. ##### Is there a forex correlation calculator? This page is one: you type a pair and it tells you which pairs move with it and which move the opposite way, with the period you choose. There's no sign-up and no ads, and you can see how it's calculated. ##### Is the correlation table updated in real time? No. The daily is redone every business day after the ECB publishes its fixing, around 16:00 in Frankfurt, and the weekly changes every Friday. For those of us who trade the daily and the weekly, the movement of every minute adds nothing. ##### Can I see the correlation of a pair that isn't one of the main pairs? Yes: type its name in the finder and tick the box for the 253 crosses of the 23 currencies, and the pairs with the Norwegian krone, the rand or the Mexican peso come in too. #### Where the data comes from - Source of the prices: the [European Central Bank's euro reference exchange rates](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/euro_reference_exchange_rates/html/index.en.html), set around 14:10 and published around 16:00 Frankfurt time on every business day, for information only. They're free to use with credit to the source ([ECB terms](https://www.ecb.europa.eu/services/using-our-site/disclaimer/html/index.en.html)). TendenciasFX calculates the crosses and the correlations from them. - The Chinese yuan (CNH) uses the figure for the onshore yuan of mainland China (CNY), because the ECB doesn't publish the CNH. The two move very close together. - Open data: [correlacion.json](https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/correlacion.json) (the matrices of the 28 main pairs over the six periods and the series of ECB rates to redo any cell or to calculate the 253 crosses) and [correlacion.csv](https://tendenciasfx.com/herramientas/_datos/correlacion.csv) (the 378 combinations of two main pairs, over the six periods).
