Application field
The personal composite trading instrument &XAUJPY is used for trade and dynamics analysis of Gold vs the Japanese yen, as well as comparative analysis with another popular instrument – XAUUSD. For example, by building a percentage chart in the NetTradeX terminal for the two instruments &XAUJPY and XAUUSD (Рict. 1), it is evident that two periods stand out in the last five years: from 2010 to 2012, Gold exhibited almost identical dynamics against both JPY and USD; from 2013-2014, Gold exhibited significantly smaller fall dynamics against JPY compared with the fall against the USD.
Traders, whose main assets and investments are denominated in Japanese yen, will be comfortable trading this PCI.
