Directional Movement Index (DMI)

MrBS:Directional Movement Index [Trend Friend Strategy]This goes with my MrBS:DMI+ indicator. I originally combined them into one, but then you cannot set alerts based on what the ADX and DMI is doing, only strategy alerts, so separate ones have more flexibility and uses. Indicator Version is found under "MrBS:Directional Movement Index " () //// THE IDEA The majority of profits made in the market come from trending markets. Of course there are strategies that would say otherwise but for the majority of people, THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND (until the end). The idea is to follow the trend, entering once it has established its self and exiting positions when the trend weakens. This strategy gives a rough idea of the returns produced from following purely the ADX signals. At first Heikin Ashi values were used for the calculation but the results show it's not that effective. The functionality to switch between calculation types has been left in, so we can uses HA candle data to generate signals from while looking at an OHLC chart, if we want to experiment. Due to the way strategies work, we are unable to get reliable results when running the strategy on the HA chart even if we are calculating the signals from the real OHLC values. It is best to always run strategies on standard charts. When using this strategy, I look for confirmation of the signal based on stochastic (14:3:6) direction, reversal level of stochastic, and divergance, to add confidence and adjust position size accordingly. I am going to try and code some version of that in future updates, if anyone can help or has suggestions please drop me a message. //// INDICATOR DETAILS - The default settings are for optimized Daily charts, for 4 hour I would suggest a smoothing of 2. - The default values used for calculation are the Real OHLC, we can change this to Heikin Ashi in the menu. - The strategy enters a position when ADX crosses the threshold level, and closes the position when ADX starts to fall. - There is a signal filter in the form of a 377 period Hull Moving Average, which the price must be above or bellow for long and short positions respectively. - The strategy closes the position when a cross-under of the ADX and its 4 period EMA. This is an attempt to stay into positions longer as sometimes the ADX will fall for 1 bar and then keep rising, while the overall trend is strong. The downside to this is that we exit trades later and this affects our max drawdown.

DMI Modified StrategyAs promised a strategy of my DMI Modified indicator! (See link below for indicator). === How does it work? === 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 EMA with length of 9). You can disable moving averages smoothing in settings. //== About the Strategy == Buys when the line crosses over the Zero line. Sells when the line crosses under the Zero line. The DMI modified strategy is pretty much clean, without any filtering besides the DMI Modified and a moving average to smooth it. Works best to catch a trend and more suitable for 1 hour and above time frame. Stay tuned for updates. On sideways you will get more false signals. as i said , it's a clean version without much bells and whistles for you to experiment. == Oscillator Colors == GREEN : Strong Up Trend as DMI Modified is above zero line and DMI modified is ascending. LIGHT GREEN: Still up trend but weakening as DMI modified is above zero but descending. RED: Strong Downtrend as DMI Modified is below zero line and DMI modified is descending. LIGHT RED: Still down trending but weakening as DMI modified is below zero but ascending. == Notes == Short is enabled by default. Bar coloring is disabled by default. == Links == DMI modified indicator: Like if you like and Enjoy! Follow for more upcoming indicators/strategies: www.tradingview.com

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.

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.

Bull vs Bear Power by DGTElder-Ray Bear and Bull Power Dr. Alexander Elder cleverly named his first indicator Elder-Ray because of its function, which is designed to see through the market like an X-ray machine. Developed in 1989, the Elder-Ray indicator can be applied to the chart of any security and helps traders determine the strength of competing groups of bulls and bears by gazing under the surface of the markets for data that may not immediately be ascertainable from a superficial glance at prices The Elder-Ray indicator is comprised by three elements – Bear Power, Bull Power and a 13-period Exponential Moving Average. As the high price of any candle shows the maximum power of buyers and the low price of any candle shows the maximum power of sellers, Elder uses the 13-period EMA in order to present the average consensus of price value. Bull power shows whether buyers are capable of pushing prices above the average consensus of value. Bear power shows whether sellers are capable of pushing prices below the average consensus of value. Mathematically, Bull power is the result of subtracting the 13-period EMA from the high price of the day, and Bear power is the result of subtracting the 13-period EMA from the low price of the day. What does this study implements Attempts to customize interpretation of Alexander Elder's Elder-Ray Indicator (Bull and Bear Power) by • adding additional insights to support/confirm Elder’s strategy with different indicators related with the Elder’s concept • providing different options of visualization of the indicator • providing smoothing capability Other Indicators to support/confirm Elder-Ray Indicator: 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 top. DMI can provide quality information and even trading signals but it is not an easy indicator to master, whereus CDMI simplifies its usage. Alexander Elder considers the slope of the EMA, which gives insight into the recent trend whether is up or down, and CDMI adds additional insight of verifying/confirming the trend as well as its strength Note : educational content of how to read CDMI can be found in ideas section named as “Colored Directional Movement Index” different usages of CDMI can be observed with studies “Candlestick Patterns in Context by DGT", “Ichimoku Colored SuperTrend + Colored DMI by DGT”, “Colored Directional Movement and Bollinger Band's Cloud by DGT”, and “Technical Analyst by DGT” Price Convergence/Divergence , if we pay attention to mathematical formulations of bull power, bear power and price convergence/divergence (also can be expressed as price distance to its ma) we would clearly observe that price convergence/divergence is in fact the result of how the market performed based on the fact that we assume 13-period EMA is consensus of price value. Then, we may assume that the price convergence/divergence crosses of bull power, or bear power, or sum of bull and bear power could be considered as potential trading signals Additionally, price convergence/divergence visualizes the belief that prices high above the moving average or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement Alternatively, Least Squares Moving Average of Price Convergence/Divergence (also known as Linear Regression Curve) can be plotted instead of Price Convergence/Divergence which can be considered as a smoothed version of Price Convergence/Divergence Note : different usages of Price Convergence/Divergence can be observed with studies “Trading Psychology - Fear & Greed Index by DGT”, “Price Distance to its MA by DGT”, “P-MACD by DGT”, where “Price Distance to its MA by DGT” can also be considered as educational content which includes an article of a research carried on the topic Options of Visualization Bull and Bear Power plotted as two separate • histograms • lines • bands Sum of Bull and Bear Power plotted as single • histogram • line • band Others Price Convergence/Divergence displayed as Line CDMI is displayed as single colored line of triangle shapes, where triangle shapes displays direction of the trend (triangle up represents bull and triangle down represent bear), colors of CDMI displays the strength of the trend (green – strong bullish, red – strong bearish, gray – no trend, yellow – week trend) In general with this study, color densities also have a meaning and aims to displays if the value of the indicator is falling or growing, darker colors displays more intense move comparing to light one Note : band's upper and lower levels are calculated by using standard deviation build-in function with multiply factor of 0.236 Fibonacci’s ratio (just a number for our case, no any meaning) Smoothing No smoothing is applied by default but the capability is added in case Price Convergence/Divergence Line is assumed to be used as a signal line it will be worth smoothing the bear, bull or sum of bear and bull power indicators Interpreting Elder-Ray Indicator, according to Dr. Alexander Elder Bull Power should remain positive in normal circumstances, while Bear Power should remain negative in normal circumstances. In case the Bull Power indicator enters into negative territory, this implies that sellers have overcome buyers and control the market. In case the Bear Power indicator enters into positive territory, this indicates that buyers have overcome sellers and control the market. A trader should not go long at times when the Bear Power indicator is positive and he/she should not go short at times when the Bull Power indicator is negative. 13-period EMAs slope can be used in order to identify the direction of the major trend. According to Elder, the most reliable buy signals are generated, when there is a bullish divergence between the Bear Power indicator and the price (Bear Power forms higher lows, while the market forms lower lows). The most reliable sell signals are generated, when there is a bearish divergence between the Bull Power indicator and the price (Bull Power forms lower highs, while the market forms higher highs). There are four basic conditions, required to go long or short, with the use of the Elder-Ray method alone. In order to go long: 1. The market is in a bull trend, as indicated by the 13-period EMA 2. Bear Power is in negative territory, but increasing 3. The most recent Bull Power top is higher than its prior top 4. Bear Power is going up from a bullish divergence The last two conditions are optional that fine-tune the buying decision In order to go short: 1. The market is in a bear trend, as indicated by the 13-period EMA 2. Bull Power is in positive territory, but falling 3. The most recent Bear Power bottom is lower than its prior bottom 4. Bull Power is falling from a bearish divergence The last two conditions are optional, they provide a stronger signal for shorting but they are not absolutely essential If a trader is willing to add to his/her position, he/she needs to: 1. add to his/her long position, when the Bear Power falls below zero and then climbs back into positive territory 2. add to his/her short position, when the Bull Power increases above zero and then drops back into negative territory. note : terminology of the definitions used herein are as per TV dictionary Trading success is all about following your trading strategy and the indicators should fit within your trading strategy, and not to be traded upon solely Disclaimer : The script is for informational and educational purposes only.

Up/Down Trend MarkerA simple indicator of trend by using 3 EMAs of multiplies of 2, 5 and 10, filtered by standard positive/negative directional movements (DM) which are the base of Average Directional Index (ADX). The "Trend Strength" option is included to set the EMA multipliers and also the variation between DM+ and DM- which interpret the trend as a weak or a strong one. Note that the markers only point to almost the beginning of the trends and just change the direction when the opposite trend is detected. Feel free to send me your opinions.

HTF Candlestick Patterns [TradingView] vX by DGTCandlesticks are graphical representations of price movements for a given period of time. They are commonly formed by the opening, high, low, and closing prices of a financial instrument. They have their origins in the centuries-old Japanese rice trade and have made their way into modern day price charting. It’s important to note that candlestick patterns aren’t necessarily a buy or sell signal by themselves. They are instead a way to look at market structure and a potential indication of an upcoming opportunity. It is always useful to look at candlestick patterns in context like any other market analysis tool and candlestick patterns are most useful when used in combination with other techniques. There are countless candlestick patterns that traders can use to identify areas of interest on a chart, where some candlestick patterns may provide insights into the balance between buyers and sellers, others may indicate a reversal, continuation, or indecision. Reversal patterns are quite useful when used in context. Reversal patterns should form at the bottom of a downtrend or at the top of an uptrend. Otherwise, they are not a reversal patterns, but continuation patterns. Most reversal patterns require confirmation such as price move in the direction of reversal accompanied by appropriate trading volume. The reversal patterns can further be confirmed through other means of traditional technical analysis—like trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators—to reaffirm buying or selling pressure. The patterns themselves do not guarantee that the trend will reverse. Investors should always confirm reversal by the subsequent price action before initiating a trade. This study implements some of the most commonly used candlestick patterns in a context with directional movement indicator. On request users can adjust the strong trend threshold from dialog box, eighter can disabled correlation with directional movement indicator. To add additional sight to analysis the simple moving averages of 20, 50, 100 and 200 periods are added (configurable) You may add additional indicators of your choice. Colored DMI, BB Cloud or Price Distance to its MAs may help Enjoy it! Disclaimer: The script is for informational and educational purposes only.

Directional Movement Oscillator (DMI)The DMI Oscillator is a technical indicator which uses values of DMI in order to predict miscellaneous sides of market behavior. Two components of DMI are used in calculation: DI+ and DI-; the DMI oscillator calculates the difference between these components and represents it as both a line and a histogram. According to the rules described by Barbara Star in her article "The DMI Stochastic", the following market conditions can be predicted: When the oscillator is positive and decreasing, a consolidation or pullback might take place. When price is in uptrend and the oscillator is positive but makes lower highs, a bearish divergence might be identified. Conversely, when price is in downtrend and the oscillator is negative but keeps moving up, a bullish divergence might take place. Trend continuation might be identified when the oscillator moves to the zero line and then rebounds from it. In quiet markets, oscillator values fluctuating near the zero line (approx. -10 to +10 range) might signify sideways or rangebound price action.

DMA: ADX L30A modified version of the ADX indicator Indicator average directional movement ( ADX ) helps traders determine the strength of the trend, not its actual direction. It can be used to determine whether changes in the market or starts a new trend. It refers to the average directional movement Index (DMI), and, in fact, included DMI ADX line . The oscillator ranges from 0 to 100, where high values noted a strong trend and low readings indicate a weak trend. It is often combined with directional indicators. The indicator was developed by Welles Wilder, who has created several leading trading indicators. Disconnected the lines DI and set the horizontal level 30 ----- Модифицированная версия индикатора ADX . Индикатор среднего направленного движения ( ADX ) помогает трейдерам определить силу тренда, а не его фактическое направление. Его можно использовать, чтобы выяснить, меняется ли рынок, или начинается новый тренд. Он относится к Индексу направленного движения (DMI) и, фактически, в DMI включена линия ADX . Осциллятор колеблется от 0 до 100, где высокие показания отмечают сильный тренд, а низкие показания указывают на слабый тренд. Он часто комбинируется с направленными индикаторами. Индикатор был разработан Уэллсом Уайлдером, который создал несколько ведущих торговых индикаторов. Отключены линии DI и установлен горизонтальный уровень на значении 30

Easy Directional Movement IndexNothing more than a graphical tweak for the integrated Directional movement index (DMI). The purpose is to make the reading of the DMI easier and more immediate. The area between DI+ and DI- is filled, and the indicator's range in divided into 4 sections, each of them representing a different price tendency: - When ADX line is inside the red colored area (0-25), the market is in a ranging phase. - When inside the aqua colored area (25-50), there is a trend. - When inside the blue colored area (50-75), there is a strong trend - When inside the navy colored area (75-100), there is an extremely strong trend. However keep in mind that these are default levels that may be not always significant. You can change them from the script settings as you prefer, to better tweak your analysis. Please support my work and follow me if you like my scripts. Many more of them are coming in the future. @Bezzus

DMI + ADX + OBVThis trend following indicator is made up of 3 parts. A normalized (OBV) On Balance Volume (the gray line) which ranges between -100 and 100 and has a 55 period SMA overlayed (the orange line) to give an indication of the overall trend as far as volume goes. - If the volume decreases without a drop in price, it might indicate a move down. - If volume increases without a rise rise in the price, it might indicate a move up. The (DMI) Directional Movement Indicator which shows the strength of the bulls versus the bears. - The red line measures how strongly price moves downwards. - The green line measures how strongly price moves upwards. One way to trade this is on crossovers e.g.when the green line crosses the red; although it's best to combine this with another indicator or pattern for confirmation. Another useful feature of the DMI is the ability to see strength of buyers and sellers pressure at the same time, acting as a confirmation before entering a trade. The third way to use the DMI is when price makes a new high but the green line does not. (Or the price makes a new low and the red line doesn't) This is known as divergence and should act as a warning to tighten your stops or take profits because it signals a possible change of direction. The last part of the indicator is the (ADX) Average Directional Index This is the blue line and shows the strength of the trend regardless of direction. This can act as a confirmation for the DMI or other indicators in your trading system. When the blue line is: - above the green shaded area there is an extreme trend. - in the green shaded area there is a very strong trend. - in the yellow shaded area there is a strong trend. - below the yellow shaded area there is no trend.

RedK_Directional Index / K xDMIHere's a modern take on the famous DMI/ADX. i first wrote this on another platform few years ago, so i'm happy to be able to share it on TradingView quick refresher: what does DMI/ADX tell us: ------------------------------------------------------ in simple terms, at the core of this indicator, there are 3 main calculations / lines: the Plus Directional Index ( +DI ) which represents how much the bulls are able to push the high of a bar compared to previous one, the Minus Directional Index ( -DI ), showing how much the bears are able to push the low of a bar from previous one, then the Average Directional index ( ADX ) line, which creates an oscillator of the +DI and -DI to represent the strength of a trend -- usually the lines will be colored accordingly (bulls = green, bears = red, and any different color for the ADX ) Similar to my version of the RSI , we take a classic concept, then use the computing and visualization "super powers" available to us today, to extend and improve on what those masters created in the past. I guess they sort of expected us to do exactly that :) this "extended" version of DMI/ADX provides couple of highly needed features (in my opinion) -- let's explore: trying as much as possible to avoid jargon - pls forgive me if i failed in some places. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - the big change: the ability to visualize the ADX in a way that makes some more sense. - the original calculation restricted the ADX to oscillate below zero - i'm sure they had a good reason to build it that way in the past - but to me, it becomes super hard to interpret what the ADX line means, especially when a negative trend (the bears) take over. by removing that restriction and allowing the ADX to oscillate up or down (and we're free to do that, so the indicator shows *us* what *we need* to see), we end up with an improved representation of the trend and the trend strength. - also the original calculation applies a moving average (default 14 bars) of a moving average (another 14 of the Directional Indexes, which represent the strength of bulls vs bears) to calculate the ADX - that makes the ADX very "removed" from the base price values - i change that, and just smooth the initial +Di / -Di then calculate the ADX from there. again, this shows me the outcome of the (relatively) immediate moves. 2 - i use weighted average WMA () in all my averaging calculations .. i believe this type of average is the best to express the importance of recent days / bars vs the ones further in the past, compared to other averaging techniques 3 - ability to make the DMI volume-weighted .. but contrary to my RSI , this is not set by default. 4 - couple of options to view the unrestricted ADX (as an area or as histogram/columns .. which i call Vertical Bars) for improved visualization other stuff: 5 - a "step" option for the ADX .. you can set the step option to an increment of, say 5 or 10. this is in case you prefer to see the trend more in "quality" terms - so the equivalent of weak, medium, strong, v. strong...etc -- since in reality, a number like 47.7683 doesn't really mean anything specific 6 - optional "strong trend" adjustable level Settings & usage suggestion: ----------------------------------- i prefer to use the defaults (length = 7, smoothing = 3, ..etc) -- i believe these are more suitable to the much faster trading that we have now. you can review the comparison chart and see if this works for you, and adjust as you need. from a "signal" standpoint, you can use the xDMI as you use the classic DMI/ADX, bulls (or bears) are in control when the corresponding DI line crosses the other going up, *AND* moving above the "strong trend" level that you can set as an extra filter (usually a value between 20 to 30), while ADX will show the quality/strength of the trend. i suggest you also utilize this indicator with other trend / momentum confirmation methods, and additional analysis and not in isolation - as well as inspecting the prevailing / longer time frame to ensure you're acting in the direction of the broader move / trend. the above chart includes a side-by-side comparison between our new xDMI with the classic DMI/ADX using the same settings - then we add at the bottom panel also the xDMI, but with my default (faster) settings and showing other visualization options that can be utilized - the Moving Averages on the top / price panel is just to help put the price movement into perspective in terms of trend and trend strength. The code is open and commented - please feel free to use, share, comment & provide feedback. if you're a DMI fan, and you find this useful in your trading, i would be more than happy to hear about it Good luck!
