Currency Correlation and Strength
Currency Strength Meter Team
Forex Analyst & Writer
Introduction
Correlation measures how pairs move relative to each other. If you’re long EUR/USD and long GBP/USD, you may be double long the euro–dollar theme without realizing it. Combine correlation awareness with strength to avoid crowded risk.

Practical use
- High positive correlation: avoid taking multiple positions that effectively express the same macro view.
- Negative correlation: can serve as hedge or diversification (but still manage risk per trade).
- Dynamic correlation: it changes — review weekly.
Simple workflow
- Use the strength meter to choose candidates.
- Check a correlation matrix so you’re not duplicating exposure.
- Size positions with the whole portfolio in mind, not each trade in isolation.
Example
EUR and GBP both strong vs. USD. Instead of buying both EUR/USD and GBP/USD, pick the cleaner chart or split risk. If JPY is weak, consider a cross like EUR/JPY or GBP/JPY to diversify USD exposure.
Takeaway
Strength finds opportunities; correlation keeps you safe. Use both for professional-grade risk control.
