How to create a "trade weighted us dollar index chart"

[ZenTrader]

Is it possible to create a chart based on data from other charts? Im trying to create a "trade weighted us dollar index chart ".

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Hi,

The DIXY is not trade weighted but the indicator mentioned is similar and I did search :)

So if anyone lands here in the future for the DIXY indecator here it is: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/9397

But looking into the maths of this dixy indecator it could be altered for the weighted verision: ExtMapBuffer1[i]=50.14348112 * MathPow(iClose("EURUSD",0,i),-0.576) * MathPow(iClose("USDJPY",0,i),0.136) * MathPow(iClose("GBPUSD",0,i),-0.119) * MathPow(iClose("USDCAD",0,i),0.091) * MathPow(iClose("USDSEK",0,i),0.042) * MathPow(iClose("USDCHF",0,i),0.036);

Is there anyone with the maths skills for this? Also the trade weights change annually so they would need to be configurable.

Agreed, that article is a great indicator, however not what I am seeking. Im looking for a custom chart. Not an indicator added to a chart or a sub panel. Can anyone confirm that you can create a custom chart? I have heard of chart data being altered, like the custom time frame but a completely new chart based on custom date from multiple pairs.
