How to Use the Currency Dashboard – and Much More on Trading Yen Pairs
Another excellent session in the London forex markets as we explain how to use the currency dashboard and the components of the currency strength indicator, the currency matrix, the currency array and finally the currency heatmap. Then we cover some great volume-price analysis lessons on GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY, with the volatility indicator in evidence as always!
The Quantum Currency Dashboard is a complete relational toolkit for forex traders. It combines four indicators: Currency Strength Indicator, Currency Matrix, Currency Array, and Currency Heatmap. This dashboard reveals market sentiment instantly. It’s especially powerful for trading yen pairs (JPY crosses). These are driven by safe-haven flows and risk sentiment. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms signals with conviction.
Step-by-Step: Using the Currency Dashboard
Open the dashboard on MT5 or NinjaTrader:
- Currency Strength Indicator Ranks currencies live. Strong at top, weak at bottom. Start here—spot relational leaders.
- Currency Heatmap Colors pairs by intensity. Deep green = bullish momentum. Deep red = bearish. Quick scan for active pairs.
- Currency Matrix Grid view of cross-pair bias. Reveals relational extremes. Toggle complexes for focused analysis.
- Currency Array Lines show momentum steepness. Steep = strong trend. Flat = congestion.
Switch timeframes easily. Alerts flag extremes. VPA adds confirmation—high volume on dashboard-highlighted moves validates entries.
Much More: Trading Yen Pairs with the Dashboard
Yen pairs (USD/JPY, GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY) are volatility kings. JPY safe-haven status drives them. Risk-off surges yen—pairs plunge. Risk-on weakens it—rallies sharp.
The dashboard excels here:
- Risk-Off Signals: JPY ranks high. Yen crosses deep red—short momentum.
- Risk-On Signals: JPY low. Yen crosses green—long opportunities.
- Full House Alignment: All yen pairs clustered—strong river flow. Trade with it.
VPA confirms—high volume on yen moves shows real safe-haven demand. Low volume spikes = traps.
Practical Yen Pair Trading Tips
London/NY overlap amplifies yen volatility. Use dashboard for bias. Enter on volume-confirmed spikes. Pullbacks on low volume = entries. Quantum Trend Monitor aligns direction.

The Currency Dashboard is your forex command center. It reveals relational strength fast. Perfect for yen pair volatility. Quantum tools make trading them reliable.
Let’s take a look at one of these in greater detail – the currency array:
The Quantum Currency Array Indicator: A Detailed Explanation
The Quantum Currency Array is one of the most visually intuitive tools in the Quantum Trading suite. It transforms complex forex relational data into a clear, graphical “fan” display. This helps traders spot trend strength, momentum, and congestion across all 28 major currency pairs instantly. It’s especially powerful for swing and trend traders who need to see sustained moves.
How the Currency Array Works
The Array displays the 28 major pairs (derived from the 8 core currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, AUD, CAD, NZD) as lines radiating from a central point.
- Line Direction and Steepness:
- Steep upward lines (green) = strong bullish momentum.
- Steep downward lines (red) = strong bearish momentum.
- Flat or near-horizontal lines (yellow/neutral) = congestion or low momentum.
- Ranking and Spread: Pairs fan out based on relational strength. The steepest lines are at the extremes (top for bullish, bottom for bearish). This mirrors the Currency Strength Indicator but graphically.
- Overbought/Oversold Signals: Extremes flag potential reversals. Lines reaching far from center warn of exhaustion.
The indicator updates live on your chosen timeframe. Switch easily—daily for long-term trends, hourly for shorter swings.
Key Features and Visual Elements
- Color Coding: Green for bullish, red for bearish, yellow for ranging. Intensity reflects magnitude.
- Toggle Complexes: Isolate one currency (e.g., all GBP pairs) with a click.
- Momentum Visualization: Steepness shows trend conviction—no numbers needed, just visual flow.
It’s like a “river” of sentiment—pairs flowing strongly together signal universal bias.
Benefits for Traders
The Array excels at:
- Trend Identification: Steep lines = sustained momentum. Hold positions longer.
- Congestion Detection: Flat lines = ranges. Avoid or prepare for breakouts.
- Reversal Warnings: Extreme spread with fading steepness = potential turn.
- Relational Clarity: See “full house” alignments—all related pairs trending together = low-risk trade.
Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high volume on steep array lines validates conviction. Low volume extremes warn of reversals.
Practical Application
Daily Array shows AUD complex steep green—long AUD pairs. Pullback on lower timeframe with volume support = entry.
Or, JPY lines deep red—short yen crosses. Quantum matrix adds relational depth.
