EUR/USD on TradingView: Which Symbol to Use

EUR/USD basics

EUR/USD shows how many US dollars one euro buys. At 1.1000, one euro costs $1.10. One pip is 0.0001, worth $10 on a standard lot of 100,000 euros. Because the euro is over half of the US Dollar Index, EUR/USD and DXY usually move in opposite directions.

Why don’t these prices match?

• Spot forex has no single exchange. Every bank, broker and data provider quotes its own bid and ask, so FX:EURUSD, OANDA:EURUSD and your broker’s feed can differ by a fraction of a pip, especially around news and the daily rollover.
• Futures (like 6E1!) trade on CME for a future date. Their price includes the interest-rate difference between the two currencies until expiry, so they sit slightly away from spot and converge as expiry nears.

What does “1!” mean on TradingView?

A ticker ending in 1! is TradingView’s continuous contract: it always shows the front futures month and switches when it rolls over. 2! is the next month after that. Each contract has a different price, so the chart can jump at the roll.

Trading hours

Spot forex trades from 5:00 pm New York time on Sunday to 5:00 pm on Friday. CME currency futures trade almost the same hours with a one-hour daily break from 4:00 to 5:00 pm Central Time. See the live forex market hours clock for the sessions in your time zone.

Which one should you use?

If you trade spot forex, use your own broker’s EURUSD feed if TradingView has it; otherwise FX:EURUSD or OANDA:EURUSD are close. If you trade futures or want exchange volume, use 6E1!.

Work out pip value and position size with the pip calculator and position size calculator, or tick values with the futures calculator.
