You might look into QuoteTracker, they have an API for quotes. They are free, if you can handle ads. Cheap if you cant.

I think you are asking about DOM IB front-ends, not charting software? I use Booktrader, from IB, for my trades. It's a little slower I think than others, but it works and costs nothing. I tweaked Booktrader a bit, it's not configured as default.

Note that the above script is using a Custom Symbol to retrieve the symbols and multiplication for the powers. This way you can quickly edit the symbols on each rollover. Also you can move the decimal point on the powers if you are using a different data feed with a different price format...

I am now taking this formula and creating a special custom symbol within Ensign's charting software with their scripting language ESPL. This will allow me to chart the dollar index real-time with only the feeds available from IB. My topic on that here...

My ESPL Dollar Index script so far, using the CME Globex forex futures feeds from Interactive Brokers. procedure MyCustomSymbol; var eur, jpy, gbp, cad, sek, chf: real; {the six symbols variables (1-6): EUR, JPY, GBP, CAD, SEK, CHF} thepower:real; {swap variable used for powers}...

Arnie, custom symbols are not able to do powers in Ensign. And apparently Howard said nobody in his 20 years of running Ensign has ever had such a request for a custom symbol with powers before. So it's only possible in ESPL. He has no plans to add powers to Custom Symbols (under Set-Up)...

I want to create a custom symbol with Ensign ESPL, because the available choices for custom symbol types (in the Set-Up menu) is too limited for what I want to do. What I want to do is create a custom symbol for the dollar index, as my feed IB provides each individual currency quote, but not...

Wow, that's exactly what I needed! Thanks. I'm using this to create my own DX quote with Excel DDE and the IB (InteractiveBrokers) forex feeds. Free Dollar index with IB. :)

Started another topic in the forex forum, and got my answer. :) :) :) http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1161321#post1161321

I found a calculator that does it right: http://www.page88.co.za/cr/dx.shtml Using the values: 1.2897 114.94 1.9063 1.119 7.1065 1.2209 which gives a value of 84.49 which is near 84.50 which is the value displayed on NYBOT for the DX. Looking at the code for this script...

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the NYBOT Dollar Index based on the individual currency quotes. The individual currency weightings are: EUR 57.6%, JPY 13.6%, GBP 11.9%, CAD 9.1%, SEK 4.2%, CHF 3.6%. Their individual symbols and last quote (taken from the NYBOT web site) are...

Has anyone done this?

I'm trying to figure out all the data providers with cash spot metal prices for silver and gold. So far the only one I've found is eSignal with their GTIS forex (XAG A0-FX). Know of any others?

Wow! Over 750 years of historical prices. Looks like I can get it for around $100-$150, with a year of updates. Does the Daily data update on a daily basis for the year? This is impressive. Exactly what I had in mind. Thanks! By the way, thank you everyone for your responses. Most...

Well, I'd like to get historical pricing for Silver going back as far as I can. I've already got daily prices going back to 1969, but I'd like to see what the markets looked like during the Depression, and such. Is there a data provider selling historical pricing going back before the...

I want to create a US Dollar index in Excel, using IB quotes. Has anyone done this? I want it's quotes to be equivelent to those of the NYBOT DX. Interactive Brokers has feeds for all the currencies in the DX basket, through IDEAL Forex and through CME/Globex futures. I'm not sure...
