FX Pulse is a single-page foreign exchange dashboard that visualizes live currency rates, trends, and patterns. It runs entirely in the browser with no build step and no backend — just open the HTML file and go.

Overview

The dashboard fetches free, daily exchange rates and presents them through an interactive UI built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Charts are rendered with Chart.js (plus the financial and Luxon adapters), loaded directly from a CDN. There are no local dependencies to install.

Getting Started

No installation, build tools, or server required.

Clone or download this repository.
Open index.html in any modern web browser (double-click it, or drag it into a browser window).

That's it — the app loads its chart libraries and exchange-rate data over the internet, so make sure you have an active connection the first time you open it.

Data Source

Exchange rate data is provided by fawazahmed0/exchange-api — a free, daily-updated currency API with automatic CDN fallback. All credit for the underlying rate data goes to that project.

Disclaimer

The candlestick OHLC values are estimated from daily rates for illustration only (previous-day rate as open, current-day rate as close; high/low approximated from the daily range and recent volatility). They are not exchange-provided OHLC data.
