Hi guys,

I have a question about ICE exchange and trading DX. Does anyone pay the $110+ subscription fee for ICE and actually trade DX? Do we get reliable volume information like with other currency futures on CME, and do you find it is helpful having this price spread and volume data when trading the other currencies since it has an inverse type effect towards anything with USD as the quote currency? I am considering getting it but want to know if anyone with experience finds it worth it or not. Thanks!

ICE does provide all the data information including ticks and volume to those who subscribe to the data.
The DX contact is mainly composed of the 6E contact, so I suggest to consider that as well as a gauge for the US dollar.
I hope this helps.
