Hello,

How did you calculate the FX indexes? I read the market stats page and it said they are averages of the 8 major pairs, but how is each one calculated? Is the USD-X calculated the same as USDX? What about EUR-X and the rest? It would be great to hear how this was done

Thanks

We need to document these more thoroughly. But this is not something we can spend time on right now.

Is the USD-X calculated the same as USDX?
The answer to this is no.

Would you be able to leave it in the thread. It doesnt have to be overly done, I'm just trying to find out what the calculations are

For the time being, look at this thread for the spreadsheet that the calculation was taken from:
Market Statistics, US Dollar Index, other/new FX indices


Also the USDX symbol follows the standard US Dollar index calculation used by ICE.
