DXY on TradingView: The US Dollar Index
The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the dollar against a basket of six major currencies. Here are the DXY symbols on TradingView, what’s in the basket, and why TVC:DXY and DX1! show different numbers.
What’s in the DXY basket?
| Currency | Weight |
|---|---|
| Euro (EUR) | 57.6% |
| Japanese yen (JPY) | 13.6% |
| British pound (GBP) | 11.9% |
| Canadian dollar (CAD) | 9.1% |
| Swedish krona (SEK) | 4.2% |
| Swiss franc (CHF) | 3.6% |
Weights as shown on TradingView’s DXY page, October 2026.
The euro is more than half the index, so DXY usually moves in the opposite direction to EUR/USD. When DXY rises, the dollar is strengthening against the basket. Many traders keep DXY on screen when trading USD pairs or gold.
Why don’t these prices match?
- Spot and CFD prices (like TVC:DXY) come from a broker or data provider. Every broker quotes slightly differently and adds its own spread, so your broker’s chart can differ a little from TradingView’s.
- Futures (like DX1!) are contracts for a future date. Their price includes the cost of carrying the position until expiry, so they usually sit a little away from spot, and the gap shrinks as expiry approaches.
- ETFs trade as shares on a stock exchange, at a fraction of the market’s price, and only during stock market hours.
What does “1!” mean on TradingView?
A ticker ending in 1! is TradingView’s continuous contract: it always shows the front (nearest) futures month and switches to the next contract when it rolls over. 2! is the next month after that. Because each contract has a different price, the chart can jump at the roll. To chart a single expiry instead, search for the dated contract.
Trading hours
DXY and its futures trade nearly around the clock on weekdays, following the currency market. Our live stock market hours and forex market hours clocks show what’s open in your time zone.
Which one should you use?
For analysis and comparing with other charts, use TVC:DXY. If you trade the dollar index itself, use the futures, DX1!, which is what you can actually buy and sell on ICE.
