Dollars Index Charts... Rookie question

I just read that I could use the dollars index to see another side of the market.

Do i need a spacial quote package's. At the moment I'm using the free quotes from IB

Any help appreciated

The CME Globex Dollar Index has the symbol USS in IB, however futures on the Dollar Index trade on the ICE, though I couldn't find these in IB's contract search. But wait, there's also NYBOT Dollar index with IB, including futures, but since NYBOT and ICE have merged, I suspect that those NYBOT futures contracts are now the ICE futures (i.e., IB still calls them NYBOT while they are ICE).

If I understand it correctly, but I don't trade DX, so I might be mistaken.

Regards,
Josh
