We will be looking this week at the Top 15 because otherwise the only strong currency would be the JPY and the only weak currency the GBP.
When looking at the Top 15 in the Weekly Ranking and Rating list we can see that for the coming week the following stronger currencies are well represented for going long: JPY(6X) followed by the NZD(4X) and the USD(2X). The weaker currencies are the GBP(6X) followed by the EUR(4X) and the CAD(2X)
A nice combination for coming week may be e.g:
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
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 3 months Currency Classification can be used in support.
This was updated on 10 July 2016 and is provided here for reference purposes:
Strong: USD, JPY, NZD. The preferred range is from 6 to 8.
Average: CHF, CAD. The preferred range is from 5 to 6.
Weak: EUR, AUD, GBP. The preferred range is from 1 to 3.
When comparing the 3 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 short period then and take advantage of the high price movements.
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. Nevertheless they may offer good chances for the short term trader.
