US Dollar Index Candlestick Indicator and Currency Basket Formula
Summary
The document describes an indicator that displays the US dollar index as Japanese candlesticks. It calculates the index as a constant multiplied by exchange-rate series for the euro, yen, pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc, each raised to a specified exponent. The signed exponents determine how each currency pair contributes to the composite value.
The only user input described is a reverse option that flips the calculated chart. The document provides the formula but no discussion of data sourcing, update frequency, validation, or how the indicator should inform trading decisions. It is therefore a concise description of a currency-basket indicator, not evidence of a profitable signal or a complete trading method.
Key ideas

- Its formula combines six currency exchange rates using a constant and currency-specific exponents.
- A reverse input flips the resulting index chart.
