Question regarding currency indexes

After discovering the existence of currency indexes like the DXY, EXY, BXY, etc, I’ve found them to be tremendously helpful for my analysis.

However unlike the DXY, all other currencies seem to only provide 8 hours of candles per day, which leaves a lot of gaps in the chart. Would anyone know why this happens, and why the DXY is unique in this regard?

Here’s a picture for a comparison between the JXY and DXY Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Nah - upload your graphs here - and lets have black lines on white background please ! Grey on greyis a real problem for those of us “visually challenged !”

Then we’ll answer your question.

The gaps are price gaps, not time gaps.

There are no missing candles in the JPY chart that you posted.

How is this not a time gap?

There’s a 15 hours difference between these two 1hr candles (and its the same for 99% of every other gap in an index that isn’t the DXY).

Now I see what you’re talking about.

It was not possible to read those times in the charts you linked to in your first post.

I can’t explain it.
