How do I sign up for data?

 

Now, I have a broker that only lets me view stocks, but I want USDX and forex for analysis purposes.  Does my broker need to open access to those symbols? Or can I sign up for a separate service?

Is it possible to use a local MySQL database?

I have Metatrader 5, w/ Win10

Thanks.

 

Every broker is having their own set of symbols.
You can open demo accounts with many of them to see the symbols required:

As an alternative you could make use of some indicator as this: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/242

The iUSDx indicator uses the "MCM Control Panel" for multicurrency mode. It calculates the USD index.
