AS long as you have the symbol for USD Index, you can use this indicator for candles Or Line.

Cheers shabs. Unfortunately dont have access to the symbol.. darwinex created a custom usd index that draws all the usd pair data from your broker.. if someone could turn that into an overlay would be perfect.

You will not be able to place USDIndex on a normal chart due to scaling issues.

If you notice above screenshots each side has a different scale, it is only a comparison.

Generally EURUSD chart is very similar to USD Index as the largest component of USD Index is the EUR currency.

The Red line is USD Index and the Green Line is the EURUSD mirrored ( ie. USDEUR chart).

Only other option is to find a broker with USD Index charts.

Strong point. Ok maybe I’ll ditch this idea. Thank you

Minor mods to one of the various OverLayChart versions in another thread.

(I don't use this myself, and have no interest in further improving it, such as customizing where the overlay price-Y axis appears. For the moment, it "centers", and that's the way it works, regardless of how the overlay sits on top of the existing chart).

Note, it does have a nice feature to "Mirror" the overlayed chart. E.g. overlay a flipped USDJPY chart on a EURUSD, so that stronger USD would be down for both.

Call this one version 1.11:
