This is a classic DMI (Directional Movement Index) indicator with a small but useful customization. Typically, when using DMI, you need to manually add reference lines for each asset to assess trend strength. I found this process tedious—so I automated it with this script.
Important Notice • This indicator is not for sale. • You are free to use it as-is forever. • However, you use it at your own risk – trade responsibly.
Understanding the Indicator Lines • Yellow (ADX) – Measures trend strength. • Green (+DI) – Represents positive directional movement. • Red (-DI) – Represents negative directional movement.
Help-Lines for ADX (Trend Strength)
These reference lines help interpret ADX (yellow line) movement more effectively:
Blue (20): If the Yellow (ADX) line is below this level, there is no significant trend, and the indicator does not generate signals.
Orange dashed (25): If the Yellow (ADX) line crosses this level from below, it suggests a potential trade opportunity.
Red dashed (40): If the Yellow (ADX) line crosses this level, consider closing the trade.
Red solid (60): If the Yellow (ADX) line crosses this level, it is strongly recommended to close the trade.
Trade Direction Considerations If the Green (+DI) line is above the Red (-DI) line, consider a long position. If the Red (-DI) line is above the Green (+DI) line, consider a short position.
Additional Signals for Stronger Confirmation
For a long position: If the green (+DI) line crosses above the orange dashed help-line (25) or a higher level and crosses above the yellow (ADX) line, this is an additional (stronger) signal to enter a long position.
For a short position: If the red (-DI) line crosses above the orange dashed help-line (25) or a higher level and crosses above the yellow (ADX) line, this is an additional (stronger) signal to enter a short position.
This customization simplifies DMI analysis, making it easier to identify trend strength and potential trade opportunities without manually adjusting reference lines. Enjoy and trade wisely!
