Post From: ICE US Dollar Index calculated on Sierra Servers for a small add-on fee/free..?

Hello SC,

There seems to be a reasonable interest (on the forums over the years) in having the US Dollar Index from ICE and as there is a weighted formula could it be calculated on servers your end and sent in the realtime FX data feed...?

USDX = 50.14348112 × EUR/USD^(-0.576) × USD/JPY^(0.136) × GBP/USD^(-0.119) × USD/CAD^(0.091) × USD/SEK^(0.042) × USD/CHF^(0.036)
(One of the forum posts almost had it working locally on the client but had issues calculating the negative power within SC)

I was hoping there might be enough interest in having it and I'd be willing to pay a small additional cost in an optional add-on to the normal package subscription. You could put it on trial for a period to see if the take-up is worth it maybe..?

It sounds like you're busy with the data feed improvements and SMS messaging at the moment but would this be technically possible to do..?

Thanks in advance.

USDX
EURO 57.6%
JAPANESE YEN 13.6%
BRITISH POUND 11.9%
CANADIAN DOLLAR 9.1%
SWEDISH KRONA 4.2%
SWISS FRANC 3.6%
