United 46 pretty much nailed the main points. It's a proxy - nothing more. IMHO anyone who tells you this market drives fx probably lives in Chicago :-)

It doesn't really factor in any flow from pension funds (but probably does catch hedge fund activity to a certain extent). But it's the only volume and positioning data widely available so might as well get what you can out of it.
