The Currency Index widget for websites offers a view of the general trends in the currency market. It tracks the performance of each of the chosen currencies against a basket of its most liquid peers by aggregating the moves of its exchange rates into easy-to-understand Forex indexes. Thus each index represents a string of average changes of the rates compared to the closing prices for a fixed base date. These changes, or returns, are expressed in percentages, with the values of the index on the base day set to 100%. Consequently, a value below 100% implies a decrease relative to the base date, and a value above 100% shows a rise.
The currencies available in the widget are the Euro (EUR), the Pound (GBP), the Swiss Franc (CHF), the US Dollar (USD), and the Yen (JPY). The pairs used in calculations of a specific index always contain the corresponding currency as the base currency, even if the standard notation has it listed second. Thus an increase in the index always points to the strengthening of the currency against its peers, while a decrease indicates a weakening.
The widget allows to set the desired base date, and indicate the period of time that will be displayed on the chart by choosing the start date, which is the date of the first shown value, and the number of days to follow it.
The Commitments of Traders (CoT) widget offers websites and blogs a clear graphical representation of the weekly CoT reports published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). These reports show the number of contracts comprising the total long and short positions of the traders in the futures market. The data is usually released at 19:30 GMT summer / 20:30 GMT winter time on Fridays and depicts the positioning at the previous Tuesday’s open.
The widget is based on the currency futures reports and shows the long, short, and net positions of non-commercial traders, such as asset managers, hedge funds, and derivatives dealers.
As the secondary currency in these futures is the US Dollar, the labels used in the CoT Charts only show the base currency. Thus, for example, the chart for EUR depicts the data for EUR/USD futures. The instruments available in the widget include the Euro (EUR), the Pound (GBP), the Yen (JPY), the Swiss Franc (CHF), and the Canadian (CAD), the Australian (AUD), and the New Zealand (NZD) Dollars.
The CoT Charts provide valuable insight for the Forex traders, as they help to:
- Identify trends through flips in the overall positioning,
- Determine the strength of trends through changes in the aggregate number of contracts, and
- recognize market reversals through extreme positioning.

The Currency Converter web widget works as a calculator that supports converting chosen amounts of currencies using the latest exchange rates. Note that the displayed result takes into account the commission Dukascopy Bank would charge for the conversion.
The list of available instruments consists of a wide range of Forex instruments, including the US Dollar (USD), the Euro (EUR), the Japanese Yen (JPY), the British Pound (GBP), the Swiss Franc (CHF), the Canadian Dollar (CAD), the Australian Dollar (AUD), the New Zealand Dollar (NZD), the South African Rand (ZAR), and gold (XAU).
The advanced version of the Currency Converter widget for websites adds perspective to a simple currency calculator by showing the dynamics of exchange rates via historical charts and tables of live quotes.

The conversion itself uses real-time rates and adjusts the result by the commission Dukascopy Bank would charge for the operation.
The list of available instruments consists of a wide range of Forex instruments, including the US Dollar (USD), the Euro (EUR), the Japanese Yen (JPY), the British Pound (GBP), the Swiss Franc (CHF), the Canadian Dollar (CAD), the Australian Dollar (AUD), the New Zealand Dollar (NZD), the South African Rand (ZAR), and gold (XAU).
The web widget is an embeddable currency converter that is capable of displaying multiple conversion results in a compact cross rates table.
Initially, the amounts are shown for one unit of the currencies listed in the rows and are calculated using the latest daily close prices. From there the calculator allows viewing conversion results for desired amounts of individual currency pairs by clicking on the respective cell, or of all pairs with a specific currency by clicking on the currency code in the first column. Note that all results include Dukascopy Bank commissions.
The Pip Calculator is a web widget that allows converting a financial instrument’s price change from pips to trading account currency for a position of the selected size. If necessary, the widget also helps to determine the number of pips by specifying the starting price of the instrument and the price to which it changed.
The Forex Market Hours web widget is an embeddable trading clock that adds dynamics to the Forex session schedule by displaying current states and time to the upcoming open or close for the Asian, European, and North American trading sessions. Additionally, the widget provides hourly data on spreads, trading volume, and volatility for the past 24 hours based on the Swiss FX Marketplace trading statistics for a wide range of currency pairs.
The market hours clock can also act as a time zones converter as it offers trading times in both GMT and local time zones.
The Profit Calculator web widget works like a trade simulator. It allows the user to specify position and account details and calculates applied margin requirements, volume and rollover commissions, and resulting profit or loss in accordance with Dukascopy Bank policies.
The available data covers various Forex instruments and commodity, index, and stock CFDs, and offers both current and historical spot prices.
The Margin Requirements web widget helps calculate the minimum equity required for a trading account to open a position according to Dukascopy Bank SA's minimum margin policy. The policy is employed to protect clients from incurring liability above their equity and protect Dukascopy Bank SA from associated risks.
Transactions conducted in the SWFX marketplace may be done on a margin trading basis, enabling a client to execute trades larger than the deposit and thus amplify the price movement effect. The multi-instrument exposure of the account is limited by the total trading line which is calculated by multiplying the equity of the account by the leverage agreed with Dukascopy Bank SA. The default leverage can be increased, with the necessary margin depending on the desired leverage, instrument, and current market prices. The widget supports the calculation of these margins for numerous currency pairs, Forex metals, and commodity, index, and stock CFDs.
Note that some instruments have higher margin requirements (or lower available leverage) than others due to specific trading conditions. Special requirements are also imposed on weekends and other off-market days.
The Overnight Swaps widget helps calculate expected swap points that are charged or credited to trading accounts that have rollover trades associated with them.
The widget is based on Dukascopy Bank’s Overnight Policy, which determines the rollover conditions dynamically depending on the trading activity level. This level is defined as the percentage of the volume of all executed orders that are not rollover trades in the past 30 days and aims to reflect the trader’s tendency to either favor intraday trades or keep positions overnight. The percentage defines three types of rollover policy available in the widget: premium (> 90%), advanced (> 20%), and regular (< 20%), with higher levels insuring better overnight conditions. The default level is advanced.
The overnight swap prices are determined based on central bank target rates and additional carry costs applied by Dukascopy Bank.
Disclaimer: On certain calendar days, multiple swaps must be applied to rollover positions, so the amounts calculated in the widget may differ from swap points charged or credited to a specific trading account.
Additional information on Dukascopy Bank’s Overnight Policy can be found on the bank’s website.
