USDJPY Net Strength is a quantitative currency-flow indicator designed to reveal the true directional pressure behind USDJPY by comparing the aggregated strength of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. Instead of relying solely on the USDJPY price chart, this indicator analyzes multiple USD and JPY pairs simultaneously, applies liquidity-based weighting, and computes a net strength differential (USD − JPY). The result is displayed as a clean histogram in a separate window, making institutional flow shifts easy to identify.
Blue bullish histogram bars represent periods where USD strength dominates JPY, indicating bullish pressure on USDJPY. Red bearish bars show JPY strength exceeding USD, signaling bearish pressure. A zero line acts as the equilibrium point, where neither currency has a clear advantage. Internal exponential smoothing reduces noise while preserving responsiveness, and calculations are performed on closed bars only, ensuring non-repainting and stable signals.
Trend Direction: Trade in the direction of the histogram. Stay long while values remain above zero, and short while below zero.
Trend Shifts: A clean cross of the zero line signals a potential medium-term reversal or trend transition.
Momentum Confirmation: Rising histogram bars indicate strengthening momentum; weakening bars warn of exhaustion.
Entry Timing: Combine with price action, structure breaks, or pullbacks on the USDJPY chart for precision entries.
Multi-Timeframe Logic: Higher timeframes define bias; lower timeframes refine entries.
Alerts: Optional alerts notify you when net strength flips bullish or bearish.
This indicator excels as a macro filter, helping you avoid low-probability trades and align USDJPY positions with real cross-market currency strength rather than isolated price noise.
