This forex screener shows live ratings and performance for every major and minor currency pair in one sortable table. The data streams from TradingView's official screener feed, so prices, percentage changes and technical ratings update in real time. Below the table you will find a plain-English guide to the tabs and columns, an honest explanation of how the Buy and Sell labels are built, and a workflow that turns a wall of 28 pairs into two or three worth a closer look. A screener is a sorting tool, not a trade caller. Treat it that way and it earns a permanent tab in your browser. The table covers the pairs most traders actually touch, from EURUSD and GBPUSD down to the thinner crosses, and every column ranks with a single click. No account is needed, and nothing on this page asks you to sign up before using it.
Live screener for all major and minor pairs. Screener by TradingView.
How to use the forex screener
The forex screener opens on the Overview tab. Four tabs sit above the columns, and each one answers a different question.
- Overview shows price, change and the combined technical rating for each pair. Start here to see the whole market at a glance.
- Performance shows percentage moves across periods, from one week out to one year. Use it to find pairs that are actually moving.
- Oscillators breaks out the RSI-class readings. It flags pairs stretching toward overbought or oversold territory.
- Trend-Following summarizes the moving-average readings. It shows which pairs trade above or below their key averages.
Click any column header to sort by it. One click sorts descending, a second click flips the order. Sorting the change column stacks the day's strongest movers at the top. Sorting the rating column groups the Strong Buy and Strong Sell pairs together, which is the fastest way to build a raw shortlist.
The toolbar above the table controls the timeframe. Switch intervals to see how a pair rates on five minutes, one hour, four hours or a day. There is also a search box for jumping straight to one symbol. Keep in mind that a rating on one interval says nothing about another interval. That trap matters more than most traders expect, and we cover it in detail below.
A practical routine takes under a minute. Open the Performance tab and sort the weekly column. Note the two strongest and two weakest pairs. Then switch back to Overview and check their ratings on your trading timeframe. That short list, not the full table, is what you carry to the charts.
What the ratings actually are
The Buy, Sell and Neutral labels look authoritative. Their mechanics are simple. TradingView polls a set of standard technical indicators on the chosen timeframe: moving averages of several lengths, plus oscillators such as RSI, Stochastic, CCI and MACD. Each indicator casts a vote based on its textbook reading. The votes get tallied.
- A heavy majority one way prints Strong Buy or Strong Sell.
- A slim majority prints Buy or Sell.
- A split vote prints Neutral.
That design has one honest consequence. Every input is calculated from past price. So a rating is a summary of what already happened on that timeframe. It is not a forecast. Strong Buy means most standard indicators lean bullish right now, usually because price has already risen. The label often peaks after the best part of a move is done.
This does not make the ratings useless. It makes them descriptive. They compress dozens of indicator readings into one word, which is genuinely useful when you scan 28 pairs in seconds. The mistake is reading that word as a prediction of what comes next. No indicator vote can see tomorrow's news, and the table will re-vote against you without apology. Read the labels as a weather report on past price, then form your own view on the chart.

A screener shortlists, it does not enter trades
Here is the workflow that keeps the tool in its lane. The screener's job is to cut the 28 major and minor pairs down to two or three candidates. Nothing more. Everything that decides whether money is at risk happens on the chart, after the table has done its filtering.
Sort by rating or by performance on your working timeframe. Note the pairs at both extremes. Then leave the screener and open the chart. Check the structure first: where is price relative to support, resistance and the recent range? A pair can rate Strong Buy straight into a weekly resistance level, and that is a poor place to chase anything.
If the chart still looks worth trading, define the exit before the entry. Place the stop at the level that proves the idea wrong. Then test whether the trade pays enough for its risk with the risk-reward calculator. Last, size the position from the stop distance with the position size calculator, never from conviction. Notice that the screener appears nowhere in that final decision. That is the point. It shortens the search. The chart, the stop and the size do the actual work.
Skipping those chart steps is how a screener quietly becomes a bad habit. The table rewards impulse, because something somewhere is always rated Strong Buy, so there is always a reason to click. A shortlist without a structure check, a stop and a size is just a list of urges.
Timeframe conflicts and churn
Run the same pair on two intervals and you meet the screener's most confusing habit. EURUSD can print Buy on the four-hour and Sell on the fifteen-minute at the same moment. Neither reading is broken. The pair is simply pulling back inside a larger rise, and each timeframe reports its own slice of that story.
The fix is to pick the interval that matches your holding period. If you hold trades for hours, read the fifteen-minute and one-hour ratings. If you hold for days, the four-hour and daily views describe your world. Reading a five-minute rating for a week-long position is noise by design, and acting on it just adds churn to your account. Position traders working from weekly charts can skip the intraday tabs entirely. When two of your own timeframes disagree, let the higher one set direction and the lower one handle timing.
Churn is the second habit. Low-timeframe ratings flip fast. A five-minute rating can swing from Strong Buy to Sell within a single trading hour, because a handful of candles is enough to reverse the indicator votes. Ratings also churn hardest around session opens and news releases, when spreads widen and price whips both ways. Check the live market hours clock before acting on a fresh flip. A rating printed in the quiet Asian session and one printed at the London open are different animals. A useful exercise: watch the flips on your chosen interval for a week before trusting them. It shows quickly whether that timeframe produces readings that hold long enough for your style.
From screener to chart
The screener runs in a browser tab. Trades happen on your MT4 or MT5 chart. Chart indicators bridge that gap. The free library puts equivalent signal logic directly on the chart, with alerts. So you stop flicking between windows to watch a table. The best MT4 indicators guide covers the trend and momentum tools that mirror what the screener's votes measure. Also, the buy sell signal indicators guide covers arrow-style tools that mark candidates on the chart the moment conditions line up.
The practical benefit is alerting. A browser table only helps while you stare at it. A chart indicator with an alert taps you on the shoulder when its condition fires, which frees you from screen-watching. Set alerts on the shortlisted pairs only. Two or three well-watched charts beat 28 half-watched rows every time. The whole library sits behind one email opt-in, and every download includes both platform versions of each tool. So the screener-to-chart handoff works whichever terminal you trade from.
Two companion pages round out the desk. Pair the screener with the currency strength heatmap to see which single currencies are driving the ratings, and keep the live forex rates board open for quick price checks across the majors. Every indicator in the library is tested on live charts under the site's Editorial and Testing Policy, and every download ships compiled for both MT4 and MT5.

FAQ
Should I trade every Strong Buy the screener shows?
No. Strong Buy means most standard indicators lean bullish on one timeframe, and that usually follows a move that has already happened. Some of those pairs are stretched and due a pullback. Treat the label as a reason to open the chart, never as a reason to click buy. The screener cannot see the level you would be buying into.
Why did a rating flip an hour later?
The votes recalculate on every new candle. On low timeframes, a few candles against the trend are enough to swing the majority the other way. A news spike or a session open can flip a rating in minutes. Frequent flips are a property of the tool, not a malfunction. If a flip changes your mind within the hour, your screener timeframe is set lower than your holding period.
Which timeframe should the screener be set to?
Match it to your holding period. Intraday traders get the most use from the fifteen-minute and one-hour views. Swing traders should read the four-hour and daily. When two adjacent timeframes disagree, the higher one describes the larger flow.
Which pairs does the screener cover?
The forex market view lists the majors, the minor crosses and many exotics. Use the search box in the toolbar to jump to one symbol, or sort any column to rank the full list from top to bottom. Liquidity differs, though. Exotic pairs carry wider spreads, so a strong rating there costs more to act on than the same rating on a major.
Does the screener replace chart analysis?
No. It compresses indicator readings into a sortable table, which saves scanning time. It sees no support levels, no news calendar and no risk plan. Use it to shortlist, then do the chart work before any order goes in. Results are not guaranteed; past performance is not indicative of future results.
