Hi All
Can somebody either confirm or deny that the currency indexes other than USD can still be charted? I downloaded the liteforex MT4 terminal and I don't see them available. Thanks.

The respective ETFs track the indexes. If you don't care about live data, BigCharts dot com is free and has a 10-minute delay.

Hi Rob
Thanks very much for the info. I've used bigcharts before and they are pretty good. I liked their charts better a few months ago before they changed them. Thanks again.

Hi Pinhead
Thank you for the chart and spelling it out very clear. Unfortunately, when I hit the new chart button I see the major pairs listed and under those I see Forex major, Forex Crosses, and CFD. I see no LiteForex Index anywhere. I think I will uninstall and try downloading again. If you have any other ideas, I would appreciate it. Thanks everybody.

Maybe you downloaded a different platform from LiteForex. I'm pretty sure mine is the basic PC Terminal MT4. Just a thought.

I think I know where you got into trouble.

view > market watch > right click anywhere on market watch menu > show all (2nd option from the top)

new chart > liteforex index > eurlfx, gbplfx, etc

Anyway, glad you already got what you needed

Hi vox dei
You are correct. I was clicking on the header "market watch". Pretty embarassing really! http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

Glad you got it squared away, Mark.

These index charts are very nice to have, in my opinion, and I'd like to explore ways to use them. You can see on that screenshot I posted that I'm just using stochs on a 15M chart. The arrows are stoch crosses (7K%, 3D% & 1 Slowing), which have an alert to give me a heads up and are also used for re-entry signals. Very basic, but the overbought and oversold areas align quite nicely with their corresponding pairs. It looks like the index charts could be the first place to look for potential movements, cross-referenced to related pairs to find likely trade possibilities. For example, OB USD conditions quite often align with OS EUR conditions (and vice versa), which then align with EUR/USD movement. By having a charted index for the 8 major currencies, we should be able to find the best match pretty easily.

The chart below is using the Overlay indicator to place the EUR index on top of the USD index, which gives another perspective on their relationship.

How were you planning on using them?

Mike

Hi Mike
I'm only beginning to explore the use of relative strength but I thought it might be useful in conjunction with the invictus trading system which is being discussed heavily right now in the systems forum. I have only followed the system a couple of days but had a couple of winning demo trades on Fri. Basically, you trade HA candle color changes on M15 in agreement with H1 and H4. Of coarse the H1 and H4 can change color before they close so you can have a repainting issue. Just be sure to be aware of that.

I just thought you might use the indexes to filter the trades. For example, only buy E/U if all three TF invictus bars are green on euro index and red on usd index. Just something simple like that.

Or simply use the indexes to find the strongest or weakest 2 or 3 currencies and only trade those.

Hope it helps and here is a shot of the invictus bars. thanks.
