Data / Currency Heatmap
29 pairs, colored by today’s move.
Every cross among the 8 most-traded currencies, plus USD/CNY on its own daily clock. It’s the same live rates behind the Strength Meter, just read pair by pair instead of currency by currency.

How to read this
The grid’s 28 underlying pairs are derived math, not extra data: Traderista already fetches 7 USD pairs every 30 minutes, and every other cross (EURGBP, AUDJPY, and so on) is computed from those 7 — shown in both directions, so a pair and its mirror image (EURGBP and GBPEUR) always appear as exact opposites. Zero additional API calls. Green means the row currency gained on the column currency; red means it lost. Darker shading marks the biggest moves on the grid right now, not a fixed threshold.
The USD/CNY cell below the grid runs on its own clock: China’s onshore rate updates once a day, not every 30 minutes, so it’s kept separate and labeled “Daily” rather than mixed into the fast-moving grid.
How a cross is derived
| Pair | Derivation | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| EUR/GBP | EURUSD ÷ GBPUSD | Every 30 min |
| AUD/JPY | AUDUSD × USDJPY | Every 30 min |
| USD/CNY | Direct daily rate, no triangulation | Daily |
Frequently asked questions
Why 29 pairs and not every possible currency cross?
28 pairs cover every combination of the 8 most-traded currencies (the same basket the Strength Meter uses). That's already every cross that matters intraday. The 29th, USD/CNY, is added on its own daily clock rather than a full 8-way CNY grid, since CNY only has one live rate to begin with.
Where do the cross-rate numbers come from?
They're triangulated, not fetched separately: EURGBP, for example, is computed as EURUSD ÷ GBPUSD from the same 7 pairs "update-rates" already pulls every 30 minutes. Traderista never shows the underlying price level, only the resulting % change.
Why is the grid empty right now?
A cell only renders once every one of the 7 underlying pairs has a real 24-hour-old snapshot to compare against. Until that's true for all 7 at once, the grid shows an honest empty state instead of a partial or guessed matrix.
What's the difference between the Heatmap and Currency Strength?
Currency Strength ranks 100 individual currencies against each other in one list. The Heatmap shows all 29 pairs at once, cell by cell, so a specific cross (say, GBP/JPY) is read directly instead of inferred from two separate rows.
Can the Heatmap predict a breakout?
No — every cell is a historical % change over its own comparison window, not a forecast. It shows what has already moved, never what will move next.
