That means, for every moment of time, the strength of the currency is related to the pool of eight currency as whole at that moment.

Theory and Implementation
Do understand, the currency strength related to the pool of eight major currency is a relative long-term phenomenon, it closely related to economy, political and world financial situation.
Instantaneous sharp movement are due to short-time imbalance of supply and demand, it is not the scope covered by this indicator for my initial development. Interested user could do some research on it.
As suggested, apply on Daily chart, attach 3 indicators with CalculationPeriod of 24,96 and 384 as show on chart. Period 24 shows short-term, 96 shows mid-term and 384 shows long-term. Focus on mid-term which is the main currency strength movement.
Apply on the chart of selected symbol, and turn on ShowOnlysymbolOnChart, it will only show the strength of the currencies related to the symbol. E.g. see the chart of USDCAD, the movement of the currency is manly due to the movement of USDx, rather than CADx.
