Currency Strength Dashboards (csdash) for MT4

All dashboards

Installation guide

Main benefits

Compare several symbols and timeframes in one MT4 chart. Each dashboard uses a specific calculation, so choose a tool by the quantity you want to inspect: oscillator level, channel position, price distance or range.

  • Scan forex majors and crosses supported by your broker.
  • Compare recent values using the history strips.
  • Use currency views where available to compare readings aggregated from currency pairs.
  • Click a numeric symbol value to open a chart for closer inspection.

These are analytical displays. Colours and rankings describe the selected calculation; they do not guarantee a trade outcome. Available settings differ between tools and released versions.

How to use

  1. Choose a dashboard and follow the installation guide.
  2. Confirm that the required symbols and price history are available from your broker. Let MT4 load the data before comparing readings.
  3. Check the column headings and units. Turtle can show periods instead of timeframes; distance and width tools may show pips or % ADR.
  4. Compare a value with its recent strip and open the corresponding symbol chart. Consider the wider timeframe context as well as the current reading.

The live bar can change. Currency-strength views invert pair readings where necessary to express the selected currency; a currency aggregate is not the raw indicator value of an individual pair. Missing or incomplete history can produce incomplete or misleading readings in these releases.

Common parameters

The Inputs tab contains the settings supported by your downloaded version. Product pages explain the calculation-specific options.

Timeframes
A semicolon-separated list such as M5;M15;H1;H4;D1. In Turtle period-column mode, Periods List supplies the columns instead.
Symbol suffix and extra symbols
Leave the suffix empty for automatic detection, or match your broker naming. Extra symbols must use names available in Market Watch. Their availability and history depend on the broker.
History strips and font size
Adjust the display options present in your version. Variable strips change their appearance according to values; colour meaning depends on the calculation.
Opened trades and inverted symbols
These options mark existing trades and reversed readings in currency views. Displaying a trade does not place an order.
Template for new window
Optionally name an installed .tpl file for charts opened from dashboard values. Put your template in the terminal data folder under templates, and install any indicators it needs separately. The downloads do not include these optional templates.
Dashboard mode and units
Where provided, choose currency or symbol views and pips or % ADR. ADR means average daily range and requires daily price history.
