🌐What Is the U.S. Dollar Index❓ ✅Why Be Interested? The strong dollar has been getting a lot of attention lately. Some U.S. companies are blaming the strong U.S. dollar for lackluster earnings, while economists say it's helping the Federal Reserve’s ongoing fight against high inflation. But how do you know when the dollar is strong or weak? That’s the job of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) ☑️What Is the U.S. Dollar Index? The U.S. Dollar Index is a market index benchmark used to measure the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other widely-traded international currencies. The Federal Reserve established the dollar index in 1973 to track the value of the U.S. dollar. Two years earlier, President Richard Nixon had abandoned the gold standard, which allowed the value of the dollar to float freely in foreign exchange (forex) markets. Since 1985, the dollar index has been calculated and maintained by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). ☑️The Dollar Index History and Makeup The formula for calculating the value of the U.S. Dollar Index includes the dollar’s relative value compared to a basket of foreign currencies. Initially, it included the Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc, West German mark, French franc, Italian lira, Dutch guilder, and Belgian franc. Following the creation of the euro in 1999, the number of currencies was reduced and the formula for the dollar index was adjusted. Today, the basket includes just six currencies: the euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound (GBP), Canadian dollar (CAD), Swedish krona (SEK) and Swiss franc (CHF). ✅How Is the U.S. Dollar Index Used? The USDX allows traders and investors to monitor the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar relative to the six currencies included into the index's basket. Investors also use the dollar index as a litmus test for U.S. economic performance, particularly when it comes to imports and exports. The more goods the U.S. exports, the more international demand there is for U.S. dollars to purchase those goods. When demand for the dollar is high, USDX rises. ☑️Dollar Index Shortcomings: The weightings of the currencies used to calculate the index were based on the United States’ biggest trading partners in the 1970s. As a result, its calculation doesn't include emerging market currencies, like the Mexican Peso (MXN) or commodity currencies. It also doesn't include China’s renminbi (CNY), even though China is now the largest U.S. trading partner by a wide margin. Therefore, the index may be less useful as an economic measure than in previous decades. ✅What Makes the U.S. Dollar Strong? A combination of higher inflation, the Fed's aggressive tightening campaign and a global search for yield have all contributed to the strong dollar. A strong dollar means other global currencies have been relatively weak, which exacerbates inflationary pressures and financial market volatility. 📍In Conclusion: The Dollar Index can be used as a gauge of the Dollar strength or weakness, and it’s futures can be used to profit form Dollar moves without betting on any individual Dollar currency pair which provides diversification. However, the Index is somewhat outdated which needs to be accounted for when using it. Your Like and Comment are the best Thank You😊

AUDUSD - CURRENT SITUATION AND FUNDA & TECHNICAL BIAS#AUDUSD - According to the analysis we gave the previous day, the AUDUSD DOWN SIDE WAVE has been DOWN about 60++ PIPS. We hope you get it anyway. It is still moving DOWN SIDE as we have given. - Currently the MARKET SENTIMENT for AUD is on the DOWN SIDE. There is currently a DOWNSIDE BIAS for AUDUSD due to RISK OFF. The main reason for that is because of MARKET RISK OFF, STOCKS and COMMODITIES MARKETS are currently going down a bit. It is heavily influenced by the Australian dollar. - It is definitely possible to break the AUDUSD STRUCTURE and go up to the higher RESISTANCE LEVEL. Accordingly, AUDUSD can go down to 0.6364 LEVEL. And after that, AUDUSD can be BUY to the 0.6766 LEVEL if the MARKET SENTIMENT changes and STOCKS and COMMODITIES start going UP. For that, the MARKET STRUCTURE should be BREAKED..

CADJPY Potential Selling Opportunity!Hello Traders, In this week's trading session we will be monitoring CADJPY for a Sell opportunity in and around 108.15 trend break area. Once we get a bearish confirmation the trade will be executed and shared with our premium members . - RISK DISCLOSURE TRADING IS NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE. TRADING FOREX INVOLVES HIGH RISKS AND CAN CAUSE YOU A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR FUNDS! Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a HIGH LEVEL OF RISK, and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose! The high degree of leverage associated with trading currencies means that the degree of risk compared to other financial products is higher. Leverage (or margin trading) may work against you resulting in substantial loss. And feeling a sensation similar to getting sucker punched in the stomach. There is considerable exposure to risk in any off-exchange foreign exchange transaction, including, but not limited to, leverage, creditworthiness, limited regulatory protection and market volatility that may substantially affect the price, or liquidity of a currency or currency pair.

Successful traders think like chess playersEvery day I get many questions from traders and more than half of them are: "What will X asset do today, will it rise or fall" or "Do you think X asset will reach Y price?" With very few exceptions, I say "I don't know". Surely my interlocutor will think that I don't want to tell him/her or that I'm an idiot. In fact, the correct answer is another: "I don't care" And now, dear reader, you will think not that I am an idiot, but a complete one. But bear with me a little more and let me explain using a real trading example on EurUsd Let's say we consider taking a trade on this pair so, we ask ourselves what do we know about it? 1. Fundamentally the USD is favored 2. The trend is down for more than a year. So, we want to trade in the direction of the trend and sell this pair Looking closely at the chart we see that EurUsd is contained in a downwards channel and recently found support in the 0.99 zone. Last week, the pair corrected and reached a high at 1.0150 and reversed exactly from the channel's resistance, leaving a nice and strong bearish engulfing on our daily chart. Going further with our judgment, where do we want to sell this pair? Now, considering my approach, I see a good place to sell in the 1.0030-1.0050 zone. So we set a sell limit order in that zone (Remember, professional traders use pending orders) We also consider at this moment the point where our bearish outlook is negated. We get 1.0150 for our stop loss. Now, using again my personal trade, let's say we set the selling order at 1.0030, with a stop loss at 1.0150 we have a potential loss of 120 pips. We know that every pip move on EurUsd represents 1usd for 0.01 volume, so 12usd potential loss on 0.01 trade for our trade. Now, let's consider volumes. What potential loss are we "comfortable" with? For the sake of example let's say 120 USD, so a 0.1 volume. Now let’s see where we can take profit. 0.97 zone is the falling channel's support, so there. Looking at such a trade we have 120 pips or 120 USD potential loss with 330 pips or 330 potential profit. This gives us a close to 1:3 risk-reward ratio, a very good one. And now, maintaining the analogy from the title is the market’s “move” turn And the market can do only 2 things at this point: fill our pending order or not. Considering that I don't hold pending orders after NY's close, if the market doesn't reach my level by then, I will remove the order, and tomorrow I will start over again by analyzing the market. The second is to trigger our limit order as is also the case for my trade, and we are in a running trade now. Now, with a trade running is again the market's move. So, what are the possible scenarios? 1. The market rises and hits our SL. Although an undesirable scenario, we knew from the start that it’s a possibility and like every trade, this also carries a risk. We considered it and assumed it from the start and didn't trade more than we could afford to lose in a trade. So, we take it like a stoic and move on to the next trade and market analysis 2. The lovely scenario in which EurUsd breaks 0.99 support and falls to our target. So, our reasoning was correct and we now have a trade that brought 330usd in our pocket, but more importantly we traded disciplined with a good R: R 3. The market falls below 0.99 but reverses. Now we can also consider some action - Move SL in BE and let the trade run - Close half to get some money off the table and move SL into BE - Close all trade In conclusion: As you can see, you don't need to be Gary Kasparov to be a good trader, the market's "moves” being in fact just a few. All you need to do is to be aware of these moves and have a plan for each of them. This way you will not end up wondering every minute "where will EurUsd go, it will rise, it will fall", you will not trade emotionally or recklessly. As Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who failed to plan, plan to fail", but it is not your case, because, as a good trader you always trade with a plan and know from the beginning all that the market can do. Best regards! Mihai Iacob

NAS/XU Bearssss The market as usual doingwhat it wants to do! Wow that was a ride wasn't it ? Took some early NY open Losses. Projected that price was indeed going to fall. I jumped in the water early and sadly drowned. Keeping my alerts going, once price broke my respective levels (PURRPLE Arrows). My hypothesis based was still valid, changing nothing but entry points. I used NAS for context reasons I will keep to myself on why I did that. Exiting at Gold at our Daily Low Happy Thursday Traders!
