Dollar Index Indicator

Discover the Dollar Index Indicator for MT5, a powerful trading tool that automatically measures the strength of the US dollar in the financial market.

The Dollar Index Indicator for MetaTrader is a special trading tool designed to measure the strength of the US dollar in the financial market. It replaces the regular MT5 USD Index chart that displays USD strength/weakness.

Which currency pairs are affected by DXY?
DXY is used by forex analysts to predict the trend direction of currency pairs affected by the strength/weakness of the US dollar. For instance, a strengthening US dollar index is likely to result in a bearish move in US dollar base currency pairs (e.g. EURUSD, GBPUSD, etc.), while quote currency pairs (e.g. USDCAD) may show upward movement.

The indicator automatically analyzes the trend direction of the USD Index and presents it on the MT5 chart. The indicator uses a red line to indicate the trend direction of the US dollar index. It also includes moving averages to filter the trend direction. This makes it suitable for forex traders at all skill levels.
