Why isn’t there a forex currency index?
Just like the stocks are combined into NASDAQ for example, then why can’t you combine the forex pairs and assign them a mathematical value???
Take a look here:
http://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/currencies-glance/
Fxstreet lists 34 forex pairs.
Benefits:
- Less risk.More pairs - less risk. Traders will take advantage because the market is open day/night in contrast to the daily trades among the stock market. That said, the forex traders gain several times more action with reduced risk, thanks to the combination of many pairs at once. No surprises anymore:Think about it: The european bank annouces higher rates, but the expectations were for lower rates. So, if you trade EUR/USD you will lose when you have selled. With such important news you will lose perhaps over 50 pips and if you trade on 100:1 leverage buying more than 1 lot…say goodbye to your money. Even without leverage the big players will lose, unless they utilize some industrial espionage 
to predict the rates that are going to be anoounced. So…if the one pair goes higher with 50 pips, else will go downtrend with 50, which keeps the balance. Of course if the balance is perfect 50/50 the index won’t move and you will not benefit at all :), but in case where you have 50/25 you get your 25 or less if your predictions are in the right direction.
There is one drawback, of course, like anything in life :): With so many pairs it will be impossible to rely on any news announcements. Your only hope will be the candlestick chart, perhaps combined with some additional mathematical technics(martingales, random walk avoidance, compound interest) and economical such(hedging, options..).
But isn’t the technical data the favourite to the forex traders?
So far, sadly there isn’t a “forex index” to my knowledge??? So the best you can do is simply make your own “portfolio” and assign it a mathematical value.
I plan to create a computer program(…a can do that ;), to calculate and trace such index value of about 40 forex pairs. If I succeed, I will post it here with link to website to see the index in action :).
Thanks.
As function of how the currency exchange market works it is not possible to make an “index” of foreign currencies as the value of each currency is relative to the currency it is compared to. This means that the same Euro for example may be worth $1.27 US dollars but at the same it it is worth, 122.40 Yen, and 0.8133 British Pounds. Thus a single index for a world wide market is extremely difficult and would in fact be useless, as there are too many currencies world wide to deal with. Further, which currencies would be chosen to make up the index and on what basis, and by who’s decision, under the authority of which country?
There is however an “index” of the U.S. Dollar which measures the dollar’s value against a “basket” of other currencies. The ticker symbol is NYBOT:DX. This allows you to see the strength of the US currency compared to a weighted geometric mean of the Japanese Yen, Euro, Great British Pound, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, and the Swedish Krona.
I believe there are foreign currency brokers in the US that allow you to trade this fund as you would any other stock or index.

With respect to monthly economic reports, what the market focuses on most can shift over time. The U.S. pending home sales index for August is the only monthly report listed on tomorrow’s calendar which has some recent history of moving the major currency pairs. This report has been a decent leading indicator for existing home sales over the past year. In the context of recent events and market volatility, tomorrow’s report might need to reveal a surprise figure with major “shock value” to prompt a meaningful reaction from the market.

Stocks & Commodities V. 25:1 (3): Q&A by Don Bright
Stocks & Commodities V. 25:1 (36-41): Forex Focus by Grace Cheng Access to foreign exchange trading has opened up exciting trading options for the retail trader. You can now trade alongside corporations and institutions in a highly liquid market that is global, traded around the clock, and highly leveraged. Before jumping into this market, however, we must understand the factors that affect the forex market. With that in mind, STOCKS & COMMODITIES has introduced Forex Focus to better prepare the retail trader to participate in the currency market. Currency Cross Adventures Listed below are the seven most liquid US dollar (USD)involved currency pairs, composed of the eight most-traded currencies in the world, with the first four pairs being the majors, followed by three commodity pairs: The majors: EUR/USD USD/CHF GBP/USD USD/JPY The commodity pairs: USD/CAD AUD/USD NZD/USD Take a glance at these currency pairs, and you will notice a common currency among them: Yes, the almighty US dollar. That is hardly surprising, given that the United States has the largest economy in the world, and almost everyone anywhere will accept the greenback, ranging from a Persian carpet seller in Iran to a native tour guide in Africa. Did you know the British pound used to be king during the era of the gold standard? Times have changed, and now the US dollar, without a doubt, is the worlds unofficial reserve currency and is the main currency accumulated as reserves by foreign central banks.
Trading the dots for +470 pips in the EURUSD
With the implosion of Wall Street financial giants, there was plenty of volatility that resulted and the Forex Model trading software was ready to capitalize on this opportunity. Very few ‘breakout’ signals occurred recently, which is exactly what is expected because there hasn’t been any consolidation required to “arm” the system.
However, the dots generated plenty of trading profit in all the currency pairs.This video goes over a week’s worth of day trading in the 15min charts in the EURUSD pair showing how our Forex software generated +470 pips in just one of the currency pairs!
Don’t forget to sign up for an upcoming live demo of the software to see the power of this system for yourself… http://www.tradingblog.4xauthority.com

Stocks & Commodities V. 25:10 (22-29): Forex Volatility Patterns by Ken Calhoun
Forex Volatility Patterns by Ken Calhoun Want to catch 40 to 100 pips in each trade? Heres how you can find those entry and exit signals to make your forex trading a success. Capturing volatile breakouts and reversals in currency pair trades has long been a challenge for active foreign exchange traders. But how often do traders actually trade high-volatility patterns correctly? Trendline projections in lagging indicators such as moving averages/exponential moving averages (MAs/EMAs) often whipsaw traders out of positions and need to be modified for successfully trading volatile currency pair chart patterns. To successfully trade the spot FX market, traders can use precision technical analyses to pinpoint specific entries, but only when signals are combined in a systematic, professional manner. Many traders tend to use multiple indicators and time frames incorrectly, causing needless stops and losses in their currency trades. Developing an arsenal of easy-tounderstand signals that clearly identify entry and exit triggers is critical to forex trading success.
