Directional Movement Ribbon
What makes this different from directional movement index?
The aim is to reduce the amount of data analysis necessary before taking action; currently using DMI requires reviewing the DM+ and DM- plots, and ADX as well as review the overall trend of each one. Also there is the final analysis to determine whether a strong trend hasn’t been established at all.
This indicator condenses the information found from the standard DMI into an intuitive colored ribbon that reveals direction and strength at a glance.
How to use it?
Review the ribbon for sentiment based on color, green being bullish and red being bearish, (if using default color scheme). The brightness of the color determines the strength of the sentiment, brightest being strongest. If no color is represented at all then it is due to weakness and/or lack of direction.
Features
Which markets is this meant for?
This can be used in any market, though it’s recommended to use with liquid markets where direction and strength can be found often.
What conditions?
Recommend to utilize with key levels and most commonly utilized moving average periods such as 20, 50, 100 or 200.
