The Top 10 of the Ranking and Rating list for the coming week shows the following stronger currencies being well represented for going long: USD( 5X) followed by the CAD (2X) with the GBP (2X). The weaker currencies are the JPY (4X) followed by the EUR (3X).
A nice combination for coming week may be e.g:
- USD/JPY with the EUR/CAD
- EUR/USD with the CAD/JPY
Some of the pairs in the Top 10 comply for a longer term trade based on the Technical Analysis (TA) of the Daily and Weekly chart. For the coming week:Â USD/JPY, EUR/USD, CAD/JPY, EUR/CAD, AUD/USD, CHF/JPY and GBP/USD.

Ranking and Rating list
Analysis based on TA charts for all the major currency pairs. 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 13 weeks Currency Classification can be used in support.
This was updated on 18 December 2016 and is provided here for reference purposes:Â
Strong:Â USD, NZD. The preferred range is from 7 to 8.
Neutral: JPY, CHF, AUD, CAD. The preferred range is from 3 to 6.
Weak: EUR, GBP. The preferred range is from 1 to 2.
When comparing the 13 weeks Currency Classification with the pairs mentioned in the Ranking List above some would then become less interesting.Â
With the FxTaTrader Strategy these pairs are not traded because these would be trades in the 4 Hour chart or in a lower Time Frame.Â
