DXY Correlation % Oscillator
Overview
The "Percentage Change Oscillator" indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who want to visualize the percentage change of a selected currency pair compared to the Dollar Index (DXY). This indicator plots both the currency pair's percentage change and the DXY's percentage change in the indicator window, allowing for a clear comparison. The script ensures that both lines move in the same direction by conditionally inverting the DXY percentage change based on the currency pair symbol.
Key Features
Dynamic Currency Pair Selection:
The indicator automatically detects the currency pair symbol based on the chart it is applied to. This feature eliminates the need for manual input and ensures that the indicator can be used across different currency pairs seamlessly.
DXY Integration:
The script includes the DXY for comparison. The DXY is a measure of the value of the U.S. dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies. By comparing the percentage change of the currency pair with the DXY, traders can gain insights into the relative strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar.
Conditional Inversion of DXY Percentage Change:
The script checks if the currency pair symbol starts with "USD". If it does, the DXY percentage change is not inverted. If it does not, the DXY percentage change is inverted. This conditional inversion ensures that both the currency pair's percentage change and the DXY's percentage change move in the same direction for an accurate comparison.
Smoothed Percentage Change Lines:
The percentage changes are smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA). This smoothing helps to reduce noise and provides a clearer visual representation of the trends. The length of the SMA is customizable, allowing traders to adjust the smoothing according to their preferences.
Color-Coded Area Between Lines:
The area between the percentage change lines is color-coded for easy visual interpretation. When the currency pair's percentage change is above the DXY's percentage change, the area is filled with blue. Conversely, when the DXY's percentage change is above the currency pair's percentage change, the area is filled with red. The filled areas are transparent, ensuring that the lines remain visible.
Zero Line Reference:
A horizontal zero line is included for reference. This line helps traders quickly identify whether the percentage changes are positive or negative, providing additional context for their analysis.
Benefits
Visual Comparison: The indicator provides a clear visual comparison of the currency pair's performance relative to the DXY. This can help traders identify trends, reversals, and relative strength or weakness.
Dynamic Adaptation: The automatic detection of the currency pair symbol and the conditional inversion of the DXY percentage change make the indicator versatile and easy to use across different charts.
Customizable Smoothing: The ability to adjust the length of the SMA allows traders to customize the indicator according to their trading style and preferences.
Enhanced Analysis: The color-coded areas and zero line reference enhance the analysis by providing immediate visual cues about the relationship between the currency pair and the DXY.
Use Case
Traders can use the "Percentage Change Oscillator" indicator to:
Compare the performance of a currency pair against the U.S. dollar.
Identify potential trading opportunities based on the relative strength or weakness of the dollar.
Enhance their technical analysis by incorporating a dynamic and visually intuitive tool.
By using this indicator, traders can make more informed decisions and gain a deeper understanding of the market dynamics affecting their chosen currency pair.
