Does anyone analyze currency indexes to make FX trades?

I just had the idea that studying currency indexes could be a very good idea (match a bullish pattern with a bearish one and trades would have a both higher potential profits and higher probabilities of being profitable -- makes enough sense to be worth a shot).

Anyway, what do you use to analyze these indexes, and if they are commonly quoted what are their tickers?

Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,

Greg

Euclid,

How do you go about this? A feed into excel? Also, do you chart it?

Thanks,

Thought you meant a data source. DJ charges for this service.

Any data source is helpful. I'm trying to limit costs now (just realized I've spent $425 on books, and I only have $1500 spare to start with), but I'm very happy to collect any resources I can - even if they just stay stashed in my bookmarks for a while. If the cost is worth it though I will spend the money.

Are you familiar with the product and its cost, as well as any other currencies it tracks?

I also see things like the dollar index on CNBC. Can I get that data anywhere?

Thanks
