Forex Ranking, Rating And Score: June 2016

Welcome to my "Ranking, Rating and Score" article for the coming month. When looking at the Top 10 in the Monthly Ranking and Rating list we can see that for the coming month the following stronger currencies are well represented for going long: JPY(6X) followed by the GBP(4X) and the USD(2X). The weaker currencies are the AUD(3X) with the CHF(3X) followed by the NZD(2X).
A nice combination for coming month may be e.g:

  • AUD/JPY with the GBP/NZD
  • AUD/USD with the GBP/CHF
  • GBP/AUD with the USD/CHF
  • CHF/JPY with the AUD/USD
  • NZD/JPY with the GBP/AUD

These are just a few examples and many other combinations are possible. The mentioned pair combinations can be traded at the same time according to the rules of the FxTaTrader strategy because these are all different currencies. Generally speaking, by not trading the same currency in the same direction more than once in the same time frame you may have better chances with lower risk. In any case it seems always better to spread risk and this can be done in many different ways.
When trading with more than 2 micro lots it is a good idea to have a diversification and depending on your bias it may offer opportunities by going long or short on a specific currency trading it against different other currencies.

Ranking and Rating list for June

Analysis based on TA charts for all the major currency pairs. Every month the Forex ranking rating list will be prepared as the months change. All the relevant Time Frames will be analyzed and the ATR and Pip value will be set.

For analyzing the best pairs to trade looking from a longer term perspective the last 12 months currency classification can be used in support.

This was updated on 3 January 2016 and is provided here for reference purposes: 
Strong: USD / GBP / CHF. The preferred range is from 6 to 8.
Average: NZD, JPY. The preferred range is from 4 to 5.
Weak: EUR, AUD, CAD. The preferred range is from 1 to 3.
The charts were provided in the article: "Forex Currency Score Classification for January"

When comparing the 12 months Currency Classification with the pairs mentioned in the Ranking List above some would then become less interesting. On the other hand these pairs are at the top of the list partly also because of their volatility. It seems best to take positions for a shorter term then and take advantage of the high price movements.
With the Monthly FxTaTrader Strategy these pairs are not traded because these would be trades in the Daily chart or in a lower Time Frame. Nevertheless they may offer good chances for the short term trader.

Currency Score for June

The Currency Score analysis is one of the parameters used for the Ranking and Rating list which is published also in this article. The Currency Score is my analysis on the 8 major currencies based on the technical analysis charts using the MACD and Ichimoku indicator on 3 Time Frames: the monthly, weekly and the daily. The result of the technical analysis is the screenshot here below.

When comparing the 12 months Currency Classification with the recent Currency Score, as provided in the image above, we can determine the deviations. In the article "Forex Strength and Comparison" this is analyzed in more detail. Currencies with a high deviation seem less interesting to trade because they are less predictable. These currencies are at the moment e.g. the GBP, CAD and the CHF. Unless these currencies offer a clear opportunity based on the longer term they are avoided.

Besides this article I also use the Forex "Strength and Comparison" which is available monthly on my blog at FxTaTrader.com. In the article "Ranking, Rating and Score" we look in more detail at the relative position of the currencies and pairs. We will look in more detail at the interesting pairs from a longer term perspective for trading in the Weekly and Monthly chart. We will use the information from this article, "Ranking, Rating and Score", and analyze it further in more detail.
