Directional Movement Index (DMI)

5 Minute TraderBy request, this is an amalgamation of my most popular indicator features but tailored for lower timeframes. Signals are generated by simple EMA crosses (with adjustable values) in the direction of the current trend and then validated against a scoring system that's comprised of 20 other indicators. When the majority of them agree then the trade can be taken. The tolerance score that permits a trade can be adjusted within the indicator preference panel and the values can be printed above/below the candle to help you tune your entry points. To further reassure you, the smoothed candle direction from the 4 hour chart is printed in the background to validate the trend direction and a floating trade helper panel translates the scores in to practical terms (buy, sell etc) Alerts are built in. Note: This is a premium script. Please DM me for access.

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!

[KICK] Ultimate ADXDMIThis indicator is a version of the ADX and DMI indicators optimized for maximum information conveyance related to trending price action in a compact space. Use the ADX barchart to determine strength of trend. There are various configurable thresholds for this measurement as well as peak marking within the exhaustion zone. The higher the values in the bar chart, the stronger the trend. Low values indicate non-trending or choppy price action. Use the DMI line graphs (as well as the color codes on the ADX barchart) to determine trending direction. You can offset the DI+ and DI- lines so that they are not directly on top of the ADX chart. When the DI+ is on top (blue line by default) the trend is up and when the DI- line (yellow by default) is on top the trend is down. The colors of the ADX chart also indicate direction with red indicating down and green indicating up. The "pale" shades indicate a nacent/immature trend, "bright" shades indicate a solid trend, and the "darker" shades indicate a strong trend that is mature. Look for these mature trends to "top out" and have their peaks marked when the trend has exhausted itself (note that the peak indicators will repaint 1-2 candles in the past after the "high" is confirmed). You can specify up to 3 additional timeframes to monitor in the dot map below the ADX chart that will give you a generalized idea of the trend on those larger timeframes. In these heat maps, the color red indicates a down trend and green an up trend. The brighter colors denote strong trends while the darker colors are weaker. Grey dots in the heat map indicate no strong trend present. Some users actually prefer to turn off the main ADX and DMI visualizations and only display the multi-timeframe heatmap as a way of checking higher timeframe trends before entering their trades. Use the link below to watch a tutorial video, request a trial, or purchase for access.

Trend-Following Combo-SuperTrend, EMA, Aroon, DMI, Laguerre RSIThis is a trend-following indicator which condenses two SuperTrend indicators -- one based on analysis over a shorter period of time (1.5, 7), and one based on analysis over a longer period of time (1.65, 100) -- into a single indicator which appears on your chart only when both the shorter- and longer-term analysis indicates a "SuperTrend" in the same direction. Additionally, potential trade entry indicators are displayed in the form of up and down arrows when (by default) three of the following five indicators suggest that the market is trending in the same direction as both the shorter- and longer-term SuperTrend indicators: EMA Crossover (8, 15) Aroon Indicator (8) Aroon Oscillator (8) Directional Movement Index (DI +/-) (8) Laguerre RSI (13) You may update the parameters of any of the indicators to match your own preferences. Additionally, you may also adjust the "Threshold" of indicators that must be in agreement with the SuperTrend to show a potential trade entry arrow. Bear in mind that if you set the Indicator Threshold too low, you will see more frequent trade entry arrows, many of which will not be profitable if taken. Similarly, set this value too high, and you will see fewer trade entry arrows that may not appear until after most of the "juice" in the trend has evaporated. Ideal values for the threshold seem to be between 2-4, depending on the symbol you are trading. The following image shows all of the indicators referenced above on a 5-minute chart of the SPY during a single trading day: And, here is the same period of time showing only the Trend-Following Combo indicator with default settings: This indicator would not have been possible save for work contributed by the following: SuperTrend by Rajandran R Aroon w/ crossovers highlighted by seiglerj Aroon Oscillator by jcrewolinsky Directional Movement Index by TradingView Laguerre RSI (Self Adjusting Alpha with Fractals Energy) by everget

(JS)DMI BarsAlright - so this is my own version of John Carter's "10x Bars"... I have done multiple things that are different from his version so they are slightly different.. So first of all the main indicator is based off of the ADX and the DMI; For those who aren't familiar with it, Directional Movement is what you'd pull up under "built-in's" from the indicators tab (if you want to check it out). The standard interpretation of this however, is when the ADX is above 20 that suggests the trend is strong, whereas under 20 suggests it is weak. Also, when the D+ is above the D- that suggests a bullish trend, and D- above D+ suggests a bearish trend. These bars take away the need to have it at the bottom of your screen, and places the data on the bars on your chart instead. ========================================================================================================================================= So here's what the colors stand for - Yellow - The ADX is under 20, no strength in trend Shades of green occur when the ADX is above 20 and there's a bullish trend (D+ higher than D-) Bright Green (Lime) - Bullish trend, D+ above 30 Green - Bullish Trend Yellow Green - Bullish trend, D+ below 15 Shades of red occur when the ADX is above 20 and there's a bearish trend (D- higher than D+) Bright Red - Bearish trend, D- above 30 Red - Bearish Trend Orange - Bearish trend, D- below 15 ========================================================================================================================================= I have also added multiple time frame labels (label script used is the one created by Ricardo Santos) These labels are color coded the same as the bars/candles, and they appear off to the right of your screen using every built in time increment from TradingView. The purpose is to show you in real time, and on any chart resolution, what the current trend is on every individual time frame. So using just one single chart you'll see your current resolutions candles, but also on the labels you'll see: 1 Minute 3 Minute 5 Minute 15 Minute 30 Minute 45 Minute 1 Hour 2 Hour 3 Hour 4 Hour Daily Weekly Monthly There is an input I added that allows you to adjust where your labels appear on the side of your screen as well! ========================================================================================================================================= Now onto the volume spike portion of the indicator. This will plot a blue dot under each bar that has a spike in volume which meets your specified criteria. I have 500% as the default setting. What that means is that this indicator looks back and gets the 50 bar volume average and then applies dots where volume is 500% above average. ========================================================================================================================================= Now finally, the reversal arrows. This is another simple to understand concept that I first read in John Carter's book "Mastering the Trade" that he calls "HOLP/LOHP". I have added the ability to change the look back period you'd like the indicator to watch for highs and lows on. What that stands for is 'High of Low Period' and 'Low of High Period', and it is used like this- Whenever a bar makes a new high the indicator watches the low on that highest bar. Then when a bar afterwards makes a lower low then the one on the high bar, a reversal arrow is given. Apply this same concept in the other direction in for the highs on the lowest bars. ========================================================================================================================================= Now, I didn't want to make a "set" or have a bunch of different indicators out there that are all intended for the same package, so I took the time to put them together, and if there's a part of it you don't care for they can easily be turned off in the settings. Enjoy!

Mawreez' Trend OscillatorA positive reading indicates an uptrend, a negative reading indicates a downtrend. For an uptrend, increasing values indicate that the trend is sustaining or strengthening while decreasing values indicate that the trend is stagnating or weakening. Vice versa for a downtrend. When the indicator reads 0, the price is not trending. This indicator is based on the existing DMI indicator, but familiarity with the DMI is not required. The author's goal was to make a less laggy, more intuitively interpretable indicator compared to the DMI. A comparison to the DMI is given above. The reader may see for themselves that trends are recognized quicker. A technical rundown of adjustments made to the DMI is given below. Instead of interpreting the ADX, a sensitivity setting is added and its default value is 25. The value of this sensitivity setting is subtracted from the ADX. Then, any ADX values which fell below 0 are set to 0. Now, just flip the value of the ADX when the -DI is greater than the +DI. The result is then plotted as a histogram. In addition, this indicator has less lag between price action and trend recognition. This is achieved by removing the EMA applied to the ADX, and instead applying lag-free smoothing to +DI and -DI before computing the ADX and then once more applying lag-free smoothing to the result of the computation.

Consolidation vs Trending ADX is used to quantify trend strength. ADX calculations are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a given period of time. The default setting is 14 bars, although other time periods can be used. ADX can be used on any trading vehicle such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and futures. 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 directional movement indicator (DMI) lines, from which ADX is derived. When the +DMI is above the -DMI, prices are moving up, and ADX measures the strength of the uptrend. When the -DMI is above the +DMI, prices are moving down, and ADX measures the strength of the downtrend. ADX values help traders identify the strongest and most profitable trends to trade. The values are also important for distinguishing between trending and non-trending conditions. Many traders will use ADX readings above 25 to suggest that the trend is strong enough for trend-trading strategies. Conversely, when ADX is below 25, many will avoid trend-trading strategies. ADX Value Trend Strength 0-25 Absent or Weak Trend 25-50 Strong Trend 50-75 Very Strong Trend 75-100 Extremely Strong Trend
