{quote} care to explain how this helps? My preferred index would look at the EUR on a volume weighted (+vol weighted) basis.

To say something is trending is one of the biggest mistakes every market participant makes. Don't worry its not just retailers like yourself, but HF/RM managers do it too.

Here are 3 charts of the EURUSD. One shows an undeniably bullish "trend"... one shows range trading.... one shows bearish "trend"

by changing the timeframe one can confirm any bias they want. That is why my job is so important, to take an unbias look at the market.

for ex, if someone is short, they can make a neutral chart look bearish, they can spin a neutral number as bearish fundamentals.

Even though I do have a book, the skill is to always look at things without any bias.

Plus, going to the main crux of this. How on earth does looking at a simple index like that one help in anyway?

you may very well be correct, most people do think its going to break. The market prices in a a very high chance of a move below 1.35

My point is that the index you show adds no value to that opinion, i.e. it shows nothing to support that view. yes a EURUSD chart does, not some index though.

Just checked with options dealers... I can barely get a quote for any size for a 1.35 touch.

Mkt almost unanimous that we break it in next 1 month. That is concerning.

I just built that JPY index on my own platform. There are serious flaws with the ideas behind it.

It Is not a good representation of the JPY in my opinion, be careful basing your opinion on it. (especially if you decide to trade the XXX/USD's based upon these indicies instead of a basket)

EURUSD has been rangebound between 1.35-37 for approx. 2 months.
Attempting to time WHEN a break-out will occur is just folly.

The EUR index you mentioned should be trade weighted, like this one:
