Trader-Focused Design and Utility
The Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index was designed with the trader in mind.
It avoids outdated currency pair selection and confusing methodology to
produce a more straightforward design and maximize utility for the trader.
The index basket is designed to be as easy to understand as it is to trade. At
inception date, the index reflects an equivalent $10,000 long position against
the euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and Australian dollar. The value of the
index is subsequently the average value of those US Dollar positions.
If the US Dollar rallies 100 pips against the euro, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, and British pound, the index will appreciate by approximately 100 points. It’s that simple.
With liquidity available 24 hours per day and five days per week, the Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index Basket is an easy-to-use and inexpensive way to trade the US dollar.
