MADdash (Moving Average Distance)

My bad, I misread some of that, I retract the last few posts I made. I now acknowledge you did answer his question in the first word of your reply, but it is inaccurate to say that two questions were asked - they were not. But you were not overall wrong to also give them that information about the expiry.

Thanks once again my man. Would it be possible to add an option to manually add other pairs in future versions? I would love to be able to add some exotic currency pairs, cryptocurrency pairs like LTC/USD, and others like US30 and Gold.

Will, no one has ever been able to answer this question, I hope you can clear it up for me?

Is XAUUSD a "pair"?

What is XAU and what is USD?

Because I'm pretty sure GOLD is a commodity and the value is in USD, so how is the "strength" measured?

What do you compare it with? Mathematically speaking, of course, programmers need numbers to work with.

Gold is a commodity and can be treated as a currency at the same time.

What we need to involve it into an indi is its price in other currencies: AUD, NZD, GBP, CH, Y.

The same in the case of cryptos - we need their prices in different currencies as above.

Or in case we don't have and one or two is missing - we can use "something similar" as a proxy - some time ago EUR and GBP were similar for example and we can use them interchangeably (more or less).

EDIT: I think we can do the same with other commodities that have prices in different currencies: silver, oil etc, etc.

But not with indices - as far as I know S&P500 has price only in dollars, DAX only in euro etc. In this case (indices and strong or the strongest moves can be used a different indi - from this thread I suppose (with modification I think): https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...simple-as-abcd

Well, my opinion is, if this was really needed or could be done, surely it would have been done by now.

And using the price of Gold in 2 or more currency?

Think about it, what are you really comparing?

Yes, 2 currencies, same as if you looked at them as a PAIR of currencies, nothing to do with the strength of Gold.

Good luck

It will be easier to swallow if you think about gold as something easier historically measurable - gold coins.

Gold bullion - you can use as a currency too, one of the primary currencies. Silver, oil, even cigarettes and moonshine were/are used in different countries as currency too. Strength has a mathematical sense in MADDASH and if "price" of something in different currencies exists it can be compared. The question is if this something is tradable.

I'll give you this; then, IT'S your turn to find a much better argument to support your "theories"

When the US Dollar gets stronger, it takes fewer dollars to buy any commodity that is priced in $USD. When the US Dollar gets weaker it takes more dollars to purchase the same commodity.

The price of all US Dollar-denominated commodities, like gold, will change to reflect the fact that it will take fewer or more dollars to buy that commodity. So it’s quite possible, in fact, it’s almost always the case that a portion of the change in the price of gold is really just a reflection of a change in the value of the US Dollar. Sometimes that portion is insignificant. But often the opposite is true where the entire change in the gold price is simply a mathematical recalculation of an ever-changing US Dollar value.

When the dollar gets strong, gold appears to go down, and vice versa. That accounts for part of the fluctuations that we see in the value of gold.

The other part is an actual increase in the supply or demand for gold. If the price is higher when being measured not only in US Dollars, but also in Euros, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen, and every other major currency, then we know the gold demand is higher and it has actually increased in value.

Consequently, if gold is higher in US Dollars while at the same time cheaper in every other currency, then we can conclude that the US Dollar has weakened and that gold has actually lost value in all other currencies. But the price, because it is being quoted in $USD will be higher and give the illusion of gold becoming more valuable. In such a case the devaluation of gold, due to increased supply on the market, is camouflaged by a weakened US Dollar.

Our feature on kitco.com breaks the change of the price of gold into 2 components. One part shows you how much of that change can be attributed to US Dollar strength or lack of it. The other portion is indicative of how much the price changed as a result of normal trading. Interestingly whatever changes happen to the price of gold as a result of US Dollar strength/weakness also occurs to every other US Dollar denominated commodity by the exact same proportion.

They don't understand what is the difference of strength between currencies (and commodities in this case).
