Description
DXYclassic
A synthetic USD index custom symbol built around the traditional DXY weighting structure for clean and familiar USD strength analysis.
The symbol appears under the Custom Symbols section and behaves like a standard chart. Indicators, templates, drawing tools, and chart workflows can be used normally.
Unlike the official DXY, the model is fully synthetic and optimized for stable chart construction inside cTrader while preserving the classic DXY composition and weighting methodology.
The basket uses the original 6 traditional DXY components with fixed institutional-style weights. No optional assets, extensions, or custom inputs are included. This creates a simplified and deterministic USD benchmark model focused purely on classic dollar index behavior.
The model includes a low-latency synthetic pricing engine, stable historical candle reconstruction, and accurate synthetic tick volume generation for volume-based analysis tools.
The symbol follows the conventional USD index weighting model:
EUR: 57.6%
JPY: 13.6%
GBP: 11.9%
CAD: 9.1%
SEK: 4.2%
CHF: 3.6%

NOTE
- This symbol depends on the availability and quality of the broker’s underlying market data.
- Due to platform-related behavior, a short initialization period may be required on first launch while synthetic history and cache structures are prepared.
- With cTrader’s newer Custom Symbol API updates, platform-side historical loading behavior is expected to improve further.
Summary
The symbol operates as a standard chart under the Custom Symbols section, supporting all typical charting features such as indicators, templates, drawing tools, and workflows. It includes a low-latency synthetic pricing engine, stable historical candle reconstruction, and synthetic tick volume generation compatible with volume-based indicators like VWAP and Volume Profile.
Technical features include a persistent synthetic candle cache, improved chart refresh stability, forward-fill quality filtering, spread validation, and stale quote protection. The plugin is cross-broker compatible and maintains persistent runtime state to enhance reload stability.
Use cases focus on traditional DXY-style charting, macro-driven USD analysis, institutional USD benchmark tracking, and technical analysis workflows. The symbol depends on the broker’s underlying market data quality and may require a brief initialization period on first launch.
