10X Bars - Directional TrendsMy interpretation of John Carter's popular Simpler Trading 10X Bars indicator.
Momentum is displayed to quickly see the quality and strength of a trend based on a calculation of the Directional Movement Index (DMI). The DMI is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 that identifies in which direction the price of an asset is moving. The DMI is calculated by comparing prior highs and lows and produces 2 measurements illustrating the strength of the current trend:
-> a positive directional movement line (+DI); and
-> a negative directional movement line (-DI).
The average directional index (ADX) measures the strength of the current trend, either +DI or +DI; a reading above 20 typically indicates a strong trend.
-> Green bars indicate an uptrend i.e. when +DI is above -DI and ADX is greater than 20 - there is more upward pressure than downward pressure in the price;
-> Red bars indicate a downtrend i.e. when -DI is above +DI and ADX is greater than 20 - there is more downward pressure on the price; and
-> Yellow bars indicate no strong directional trend and potential for a reversal.
Volume spikes 50% above average volume are then flagged as dots at the bottom of the chart (although you can change this location), confirming the momentum further.
This indicator should compliment other popular indicators, as confirmation whether to stay in a position or not.
DMI
ADX Screener// Identify potential trend reversals using ADX on up to 40 crypto assets.
// ADX shows the strength of a trend, not the direction.
// By monitoring the difference of ADX values between candles, you can potentially identify reversals before they happen.
// A strong trend has a 14 period ADX slope increasing .5 or more from the prior candle.
// At a minimum, a weak trend has a 14 period ADX slope of +.25 or less, and strictly it would be decreasing.
// This indicator prints one row for each asset with three columns for ADX differences one candle back each.
// The asset name is colored green or red dependent on whether +DI > -DI or not.
The market was in a down trend (-DI > +DI).
A bullish wave moved price up to EMA 8 resistance with strong ADX momentum (ADX diff of prior candle >= 0.5).
A Spinning Top showed that the trend was losing momentum (ADX diff lower than previous candle, showed the bullish wave losing momentum).
A Morning Star bearish reversal pattern draws resistance at the high of the pattern. (ADX Bullish momentum exhausted).
Symbol: -DI > +DI
2: Strong momentum
1: Losing momentum (spinning top)
0: Trend reversal (bearish engulfing pattern)
ADX + DMI with Fill and CrossoverBetter visuals for the ADX/DMI technical indicator.
I filled the DI+ and DI- with color to easily track the trend. Also, I added shapes (+) / (x) once the DI+ and DI- crossover each other.
You can also set two horizontal lines so you can easily track where the ADX value is at.
DMI & ST DEV zone intersection [LM]Hello Traders,
This indicator uses two indicators st dev extremes and DMI extremes and visualize intersection of both indicators extreme zones using crosses. It means where cross is rendered intersection of extremes has occurred.
The standard deviation uses the same calculation as my Standard deviation zones Support & Resistance indicator, DMI indicator measures both the strength and direction of a price movement. I am using both indicators to find the intersection of extreme zones between them.

ADXI + DMI Performance - TradingEDThis case study is based on a previous ADX + DM study, but with three different counts to compare different trends. The use of this indicator is restricted to private use, and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original code, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level, from beginner to intermediate and advanced .
Key components of the original indicator:
• The DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT INDEX (DMI) is a technical indicator that measures both the strength and direction of a price movement and is intended to reduce false signals.
• The DMI uses two standard indicators, one negative ( -DI ) and one positive ( +DI ), in conjunction with a third, the AVERAGE DIRECTIONAL INDEX ( ADX ), which is non-directional but shows momentum.
• The larger the spread between the two primary lines, the stronger the price trend. If +DI is way above -DI the price trend is strongly up. If -DI is way above +DI then the price trend is strongly down.
• ADX measures the strength of the trend, either up or down; a reading above 20 indicates a strong trend.
ADX is plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional; it registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down. The indicator is usually plotted in the same window as the two DMI lines, from which ADX is derived. When +DI is above -DI, there is more upward pressure than downward pressure in the price. Conversely, if -DI is above +DI, then there is more downward pressure on the price. This indicator may help traders assess the trend direction. Crossovers between the lines are also sometimes used as trade signals to buy or sell, theay are the main trade signals. A long trade is taken when the +DI crosses above the -DI and an uptrend could be underway. Meanwhile, a sell signal occurs when the +DI instead crosses below the -DI.
Main functions of this modified indicator:
1) You can select the type of MOVING AVERAGE, among many available options ( SMA , EMA , DEMA , HMA , etc.)
2) The SOURCE for the counts can be determined by the trader (close, open, etc).
3) The MEASURE can be based on a CANDLES count if you are trading OHLC Charts from 1D onwards, or if your trading is intraday, you can also select counts by MINUTES, HOURS or DAYS, depending on your trading style.
4) LENGTH, by default it will be loaded as in the STRATEGY, but considering the previous point, you can modify it according to your convenience.
5) You have the option to hide or show a LABEL at the top of the chart, with respect to the signals: BULLISH green, BEARISH red.
Main performance functions of this modified indicator:
I) In the case of the PERFORMANCE that appears at the right of the chart, you have the option to adjust the WIDTH of each box.
II) The TEXT of the PERFORMANCE is not modifiable, but you can customize the default color. *
III) The BACKGROUND of the PERFORMANCE, you can customize the default color. *
IV) You have the option to hide or show a PERFORMANCE that appears at the right of the chart.
Main functions to customize the style of this indicator:
a) You can select the color for ADX and for DMI, with the colors that best suit you.

MACD PlusMoving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD
The MACD is an extremely popular indicator used in technical analysis. It can be used to identify aspects of a security's overall trend. Most notably these aspects are momentum, as well as trend direction and duration. What makes the MACD so informative is that it is actually the combination of two different types of indicators. First, the MACD employs two Moving Averages of varying lengths (which are lagging indicators) to identify trend direction and duration. Then, it takes the difference in values between those two Moving Averages (MACD Line) and an EMA of those Moving Averages (Signal Line) and plots that difference between the two lines as a histogram which oscillates above and below a center Zero Line. The histogram is used as a good indication of a security's momentum.

Squeeze Pro
Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC.
In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages.
The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three.
The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings.
The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator.
And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression.
Colored Directional Movement Index (CDMI) , a custom interpretation of J. Welles Wilder’s Directional Movement Index (DMI), where :
DMI is a collection of three separate indicators ( ADX , +DI , -DI ) combined into one and measures the trend’s strength as well as its direction
CDMI is a custom interpretation of DMI which presents ( ADX , +DI , -DI ) with a color scale - representing the trend’s strength, color density - representing momentum/slope of the trend’s strength, and triangle up/down shapes - representing the trend’s direction. CDMI provides all the information in a single line with colored triangle shapes plotted on the bottom. DMI can provide quality information and even trading signals but it is not an easy indicator to master, whereus CDMI simplifies its usage. The CDMI adds additional insight of verifying/confirming the trend as well as its strength
Label :
Displaying the trend strength and direction
Displaying adx and di+/di- values
Displaying adx's momentum (growing or falling)
Where tooltip label describes "howto read colored dmi line"
Ability to display historical values of DMI readings displayed in the label.
Added "Expert Trend Locator - XTL"
The XTL was developed by Tom Joseph (in his book Applying Technical Analysis ) to identify major trends, similar to Elliott Wave 3 type swings.
Blue bars are bullish and indicate a potential upwards impulse.
Red bars are bearish and indicate a potential downwards impulse.
White bars indicate no trend is detected at the moment.
Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets.
The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility , and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up.

DMI Trade Zone [Alorse]Through the DMI Trade Zone you can find safe areas to trade in the Spot market.
The logic behind the indicator is:
- If the Positive Directional Movement (+DI) is greater than the Negative Directional Movement (-DI) then the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) will be green with an opaque white background.
- If the Positive Directional Movement (+DI) is less than the Negative Directional Movement (-DI) then the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) will be red.
DMI - VisualBasically, when the background is:
White = no defined direction
Light blue = up.
Dark blue = well defined up
Light red = down
Dark red = well defined down
Blue/red centered circle = change of direction
Red circle on top = possible short entry
Blue circle at the bottom = possible long entry
//Português
Basicamente, quando o fundo é:
Branco = sem direção definida
Azul claro = alta
Azul escuro = alta bem definida
Vermelho claro = baixa
Vermelho escuro = baixa bem definida
Círculo azul/vermelho centrado = mudança da direção
Círculo vermelho no topo = possível entrada de short
Círculo azul na parte inferior = possível entrada de long
Multiple Oscillator Crossing - TradingEDThis case study is based on different previous studies: ADX Triple , MACD Triple & RSI Triple , with three different counts to compare different oscillations of each indicator. Actually, this indicator is complementary to those previously mentioned . The use of this indicator is restricted to private use, and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original codes, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level , from beginner to intermediate and advanced .
Key components of the original ADX indicator:
• The DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT INDEX (DMI) is a technical indicator that measures both the strength and direction of a price movement and is intended to reduce false signals.
• The DMI uses two standard indicators, one negative ( -DI ) and one positive ( +DI ), in conjunction with a third, the AVERAGE DIRECTIONAL INDEX ( ADX ), which is non-directional but shows momentum.
• The larger the spread between the two primary lines, the stronger the price trend. If +DI is way above -DI the price trend is strongly up. If -DI is way above +DI then the price trend is strongly down.
• ADX measures the strength of the trend, either up or down; a reading above 20 indicates a strong trend.
ADX is plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional; it registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down. The indicator is usually plotted in the same window as the two DMI lines, from which ADX is derived. When +DI is above -DI, there is more upward pressure than downward pressure in the price. Conversely, if -DI is above +DI, then there is more downward pressure on the price. This indicator may help traders assess the trend direction. Crossovers between the lines are also sometimes used as trade signals to buy or sell, theay are the main trade signals. A long trade is taken when the +DI crosses above the -DI and an uptrend could be underway. Meanwhile, a sell signal occurs when the +DI instead crosses below the -DI.
Key components of the original RSI indicator:
● The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a popular momentum oscillator developed in 1978.
● The RSI provides technical traders signals about bullish and bearish price momentum, and it is often plotted beneath the graph of an asset's price.
● An asset is usually considered overbought when the RSI is above 70% and oversold when it is below 30%.
It is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to assess overbought or oversold conditions in the price of an asset. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line chart moving between two extremes) and can read from 0 to 100. Overbought does not necessarily mean that the price will reverse lower, just as oversold does not mean that the price will reverse higher. Rather, the overbought and oversold conditions simply alert traders that the RSI is near the extremes of its recent readings.
Key components of the original MACD indicator:
● The Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) is calculated by subtracting a long period (26) Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) from a short (12) period EMA .
● MACD triggers technical signals when it crosses above (to buy) or below (to sell) its signal line.
● The speed of crossovers is also taken as a signal of a market is overbought or oversold.
● MACD helps traders to understand whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price is strengthening or weakening.
It is a momentum indicator that follows the trend and shows the relationship between two moving averages of the price of a security. It can function as a trigger for buy and sell signals, when you cross above (to buy) or below (to sell) your signal line. It helps to understand if the movement is bullish or bearish , if it is getting stronger or weaker. The further the MACD is above or below its baseline, it indicates that the distance between the two EMAs will be growing, often shown with a histogram that graphically represents the distance between the MACD and its signal line, and It is used to identify when the bullish or bearish momentum.

DMI‴ | Enhanced Directional Movement Indicator‴What does it do?
Used for calling your attention to rally price trend with a more suitable color and arrows that allow you to see the delailed movement without needing to zoom the indicator.
How does it work?
Works the exact same way as the ordinary DMI, but with arrows that signals the direction of each DMI line and a right side bar signal for each of these lines, that also provides information over the strength (if a given DMI line is above or under 20% move).
This indicador is used in conjunction with other indicadtor in the BOLLINGER BLAST setup provides a way bigger knowledge of a huge price rally.
What's my filling?
I rather use it with in conjunction with other indicadtor in the BOLLINGER BLAST setup in order to provide me with a way bigger knowledge of a huge price rally.
Indicator attributes:
- red line is the DMI Negative line
- blue line is the DMI Positive line
- lines over the 20% scale give more strength to the price movement
- right side bar: signals the suggests which DMI line has more strength
- yellow "diamond" and "triangle" figures signal that the ADX line is moving up
- blue and red "triangle" figure signal that the +DMI or -DMI is crossing over the 20% line
- the light red back ground shade signals that Volatility is activated and that price spread and volume are to be expected

DMI With Crosses (MyNewTrade)Directional Movement Indicator:
+DI and -DI
I changed the color of the bar bars according to the crossed of +DI and -DI . It helps us to have an idea of whether the trend is continuing or not.
+DI crossover to -DI barcolor is Aqua, if not bar color is Red.
It also helps us to find the lowest and highest points of the graph according to the positions of Adx +DI and -DI .
It gives warnings at the lowest and highest points, which helps us to detect the direction of the trend.

Squeeze Momentum [Plus]The "Momentum" in this indicator is smoothed out using linear regression. The Momentum is what is displayed on the indicator as a histogram, its purpose is obvious (to show momentum).
What is a Squeeze? A squeeze occurs when Bollinger Bands tighten up enough to slip inside of Keltner Channels .
This is interpreted as price is compressing and building up energy before releasing it and making a big move.
Traditionally, John Carter's version uses 20 period SMAs as the basis lines on both the BB and the KC.
In this version, I've given the freedom to change this and try out different types of moving averages.
The original squeeze indicator had only one Squeeze setting, though this new one has three.
The gray dot Squeeze, call it a "low squeeze" or an "early squeeze" - this is the easiest Squeeze to form based on its settings.
The orange dot Squeeze is the original from the first Squeeze indicator.
And finally, the yellow dot squeeze, call it a "high squeeze" or "power squeeze" - is the most difficult to form and suggests price is under extreme levels of compression.
Now to explain the parameters:
Squeeze Input - This is just the source for the Squeeze to use, default value is closing price.
Length - This is the length of time used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels .
Bollinger Bands Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Bollinger Bands .
Keltner Channel Calculation Type - Selects the type of moving average used to create the Keltner Channel.
Color Format - you to choose one of 5 different color schemes.
Draw Divergence - Self explanatory here, this will auto-draw divergence on the indicator.
Gray Background for Dark Mode - to make them more visually appealing.
Added ADX (Average Directional Index) that measure a trend’s strength. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The ADX line is white when it has a positive slope, otherwise it is gray. When the ADX has a very large dispersion with respect to the momentum histogram, increase the scale number.
Added "H (Hull Moving Average) Signal". Hull is a extremely responsive and smooth moving average created by Alan Hull in 2005. Have option to chose between 3 Hull variations.
Added "Williams Vix Fix" signal. The Vix is one of the most reliable indicators in history for finding market bottoms. The Williams Vix Fix is simply a code from Larry Williams creating almost identical results for creating the same ability the Vix has to all assets.
The VIX has always been much better at signaling bottoms than tops. Simple reason is when market falls retail traders panic and increase volatility, and professionals come in and capitalize on the situation. At market tops there is no one panicking... just liquidity drying up.

(JS) Triple StochasticSo I ended up adding a ton of stuff to my prior Double Stochastic script which you can see here .
The concept of the Double was to smooth out the existing Stochastic by applying a Stochastic to the existing Stochastic (hence the Double). My concept for the Triple Stochastic is much different. It combines a regular stochastic, stochastic RSI, and the double stochastic to get a smoothed output based on all 3.
Also - since I love being able to see a Squeeze (see my Squeeze Pro indicators - Squeeze Pro 2 & Squeeze Pro Overlays ) I added the Squeeze to the Stochastic (the dots). If you're unfamiliar with how a Squeeze works, or what it is, check out my links for explanation. A quick explanation however is that the Squeeze is an indicator that was invented by John Carter that detects price compression before a big move out of a range. This is done by using Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, the BB shrink inside the KC. The color of the dots represent the depth of the BB in the KC, white (or black) being the lightest squeeze, red being the standard squeeze, and yellow being the strongest squeeze. Now on to the indicator:
The first thing you'll notice is the options available for the type of Stochastic you'd like to use:
Standard : This is a regular Stochastic
Stochastic RSI : This is the standard Stochastic RSI
Double : This is the Stochastic on top of a Stochastic from the prior version
Triple : This is simply an average of all 3 of the above combined together
(Top indicator shows the Triple Stochastic)
The options "K", "D", and "Smooth" are the settings from a regular Stochastic used to set up the type of Stochastic you choose to use.
Now let's say you're not sure how one type performs compared to another, or you like the quickest momentum change but also like to see the smoothest trend, or you want to use the same types of Stochastic and watch for them to cross like moving averages - for these reasons I added the ability to add a second Stochastic for comparison.
(2nd indicator shows a fast and slow Triple Stochastic together)
Quite obviously, the "K 2", "D 2", and "Smooth 2" are what is used in order to set the parameters for the second Stochastic.
Now another thing I added was the option to replace the regular Stochastic and instead look at the distance between the K and D. By turning off "Use K% and D%" you get to see this in action. To put it simply, a cross above zero would indicate a positive Stochastic crossover, and a cross below zero would represent the opposite. There's also an option titled "SMA Length using Difference" which, to smooth this out a bit, allows you to apply a moving average to the distance. By setting it at 1 you'd see the actual distance between K and D.
(3rd indicator shows the K and D distance used as a plot)
Another thing I wanted to do was add a different type of background that wasn't based on the indicator itself. I decided to use ADX & DMI which is a great way to determine the trend. When you select "ADX/DMI BG" the BG colors will change from being based on the indicator to being based on ADX and DMI.
(The 3rd indicator also shows the ADX/DMI BG being used).
And now finally the last feature I decided to add takes us back to the Squeeze. Essentially it is just the Stochastic shown through the lens of Squeeze momentum, as I ended up plugging the Stochastic output into the Squeeze momentum formula to create an oscillator. By selecting "Use Oscillator" you will see this in action as well.
(Bottom indicator shows the oscillator addition)
Smoothed Directional Movement IndexThis indicator is a variation of the default DMI indicator, the main difference being that the signals are smoothed by SMAs.
It also has additional bullish (green) and bearish (red) background coloring which would be noisy on a standard DMI indicator.
If both lines converge it is bullish, otherwise bearish.
Increase / decrease the threshold should you want more conservative / optimistic background coloring.
RedK Trader Pressure Index (TPX v1.0) Quick Summary
---------------------
The RedK Trader Pressure Index (REDK_TPX) analyzes the changes in price bars to give the trader a clear visual insight that represents the ongoing fight between the bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) in the market - to determine who is in control of the price action, which in turn can be helpful in a trader’s decision about how the price action may be unfolding, what type of trade and positions to take (or to close) and when is the ideal time to action.
How the TPX calculation works
---------------------------------------
The TPX uses a simple logic and that’s one of the things I like about it – there is no complex calculation or magic stuff - and the core idea makes sense to me, as well as being one of the ways I needed to analyze my price charts.
The underlying assumption is that the buyers and sellers are competing for control of the market at all time.
- if there’s more buyers than sellers in the market, and if the buyers’ (or bull) pressure is stronger (than the sellers’), they will be able pull the “price range” up – and that means that on the price chart we can expect to see an increase in value in both the “high” and the “low” of the next price bar.
- Similarly, if there’s more sellers than buyers in the market, and if the sellers’ (or bear) pressure is stronger (than the buyers’), they will be able push the “price range” down – on the price chart we can expect to see a decrease in value in both the “high” and the “low” of the next price bar.
So, we will use the change in high and low price, between 2 consecutive price bars, as a proxy for the bull and bear “pressures” – a (weighted) moving average of these “pressure” values are then calculated along with the “Net Pressure” – the final results are plotted.
The importance of the "Control Level"
-----------------------------------------------
As in similar price-action based indicators, there’s a certain threshold or “control level”, above which, the pressure becomes “dominant”
when the bull or bear pressure is above that threshold, they will dominate and control the price move – this level can be found around the 25 or 30. I have included the ability to plot and adjust that control level in the TPX’s settings – and I also show some examples in the chart above (weekly chart for MSFT)
The code is commented and the chart is annotated to explain how to “read” the TPX – and how to interpret the values on the price chart
Using the Trader Pressure Index (TPX) in trading
------------------------------------------------------------
TPX can be valuable in showing well-supported (up or down) price moves that may lead to a strong trend that we can ride (when the pressure value is above the control level) - see exampled above
TPX is also valuable in showing when there’s “lack of interest” from the buyers or the sellers (or both) – which is great in exploring chub or no-trade zones - so basically when to avoid trading.
As usual, it's always recommended to use these types of "price action insight" indicators in conjunction with other trend and momentum indicators (moving averages, MACD..etc), so the insight we gain from them can be properly placed within the broader "context" - and to receive additional confimtion signals to support the trading decision.
I will come back later to post something about how the TPX differs from my recently-posted Strength of Movement (SoM) because they wok completely differently but can be used together with great synergy – and also how the TPX compares to the classic DMI/ADX which uses a similar concept.
Please feel free to integrate in your trading – hope you find this useful - comments and feedback are always welcome
Reverse DMIThe Reverse DMI is in essence the same DMI or (Directional Movement Index) you all know and love with the addition of two reverse level features, and can be used to assist the end-user in their decision making for entry, exit and risk management.
In a nutshell the first feature is a reverse engineered calculation of the +DMI, and -DMI levels, compared to each other, in relation to the current price level as the point of divergence. The second feature is a reverse engineered calculation of the ADX, +DMI, and -DMI levels, compared to the user defined Threshold level, in relation to the current price level as the point of divergence.
At a glance this can then be used to determine the closing price level needed in order to cross the +DMI and -DMI, as well as the closing price level needed in order to cross the ADX, +DMI, and -DMI either under or over the user defined Threshold.
Optional Settings Include:
-------------------------------
1.) Change the Threshold Levels Right Margin
2.) Show/Hide ADX Exhaustion (will highlight the plot, if condition is met or exceeded)
3.) Show/Hide DMI Crosses (will highlight the background once, if condition is met)
4.) Show/Hide Reverse Levels
5.) Change the Reverse Levels Text Size
6.) Change the Reverse Levels Text Color
7.) Change the Reverse Levels Text Left Margin
8.) Change the Reverse Levels Decimal value
9.) Show/Hide the Reverse Levels Currency

MrBS:Directional Movement Index [Trend Friend]I started this project with the goal of making a DMI/ADX that was easy to read at a glance. Its since become a little more then just colouring the slopes. The majority of the time, the best returns come from trending markets (THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND... until the end) and I hope this helps people become good friends with the trends.
----- Features
- A function to change the values used for calculation from real OHLC and Heikin Ashi. This allows us to look at different chart types but see the specific ADX we choose. Originally HA values were used for calculation since it is easier to see trend on HA charts. However when testing it was not as effective as the ADX calculated from the real values on normal charts. So the default function was flipped and real OHLC values are used as default.
- Two ADX plots so we can see two different smoothness's. With a smoothing of 2, a slight slow down in PA can cause a negative slope but the smoother ADX will stay trending unless its a major change. 2nd ADX is slightly transparent.
- There is an EMA of the main ADX that can be used as a exit signal filter. If the ADX starts going down but has not crossed the EMA we would stay in a trade.
- Plots (excluding EMA) are coloured based on positive or negative slopes.
- Fibonacci numbers have been used to create different trend levels, instead of the standard 25, 50, 100.
- Alerts for every useful situation to help save time and not have to manually enter levels or crosses each time.
- In the code there are 8 EMAs and 3 ADXs but it was too much so they have been slashed out, but are fully functional if you choose to activate and use them. To reactivate the 3rd ADX delete slashes on lines 50, 65, 78, 92-95, 165. The slashed out EMAs are much more obvious and easy to reactivate.
Colours:
ADX going up = Green
ADX going down = Red
DMI+ going up = Bright Aqua
DMI+ going down = Turquoise / Dark Aqua
DMI- going up = Bright Purple
DMI- going down = Dark Purple
EMA = White (50% transparent)
If there is anything that would be useful, let me know and I will add it in. I've already got some improvements/changes planned and some of my notes can be found in the code.
There is also a strategy to go with this indicator that will be uploaded very soon.
Crypto Directional Movement Index DMI/ADXCrypto ADX + DMI
This indicator is a customised version of the ADX + DMI by J. Welles Wilder in 1978, with default settings optimal for cryptocurrencies.
What is the DMI (ADX) Indicator?
According to Investopedia:
DMI (ADX) consists of three indicators that measure a trend’s strength and direction. Three lines compose the Direction Movement Index (DMI): ADX (black line), DI+ (green line), and DI- (red line). The Average Directional Index (ADX) line shows the strength of the trend. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The color of the lines can be altered, but black, green, and red are the default in most software.
The Plus Direction Indicator (DI+) and Minus Direction Indicator (DI-) show the current price direction. When the DI+ is above DI-, the current price momentum is up. When the DI- is above DI+, the current price momentum is down.
This Version
The ADX default value has been changed to from 14 to 2 (optimal for cryptocurrencies). The background flashes red when the –DMI goes above the HZ1 threshold and green when the +DMI does the same. There is an option to change it so that it’ll only flash when the ADX and the DMI are both above the threshold. The ADX changes color when above HZ1.
Red and green plotshapes appear at DMI crossovers and three horizontal lines have also been added.
Any suggestions are most welcome
DMI ModifiedThis is a Directional Movement Index (DMI) with a twist, instead of plotting the positive direction of +DI and negative direction for -DI, we subtract the +DI with the -DI on scales of 100 to -100.
The result is plotted with a oscillator to identify the current trend.
DMI Modified supports multiple moving averages (default is JMA with length of 3). You can disable moving averages smoothing in settings.
== About the indicator ==
The Directional Movement Index, or DMI, is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 that identifies in which direction the price of an asset is moving.
The indicator does this by comparing prior highs and lows and drawing two lines: a positive directional movement line (+DI) and a negative directional movement line (-DI)
In our case we do not draw the two lines, but the result of the subtraction of the two.
== Oscillator Colors ==
GREEN : Asset is above zero line with a strong up trend.
LIGHT GREEN: Asset is above zero line but up trending might be weakening.
RED : Asset is below zero line with a strong downtrend.
LIGHT RED: Asset is below zero line but down trending might be weakening.
== Notes ==
Can also be used to find divergences.
Bar coloring is disabled by default
Like if you like and Enjoy!
There is an idea to make a new strategy combined with DMI Modified (this script) and another script, hench, Follow.
