//| Traders Dynamic Index |
//| |
//| This hybrid indicator is developed to assist traders in their |
//| ability to decipher and monitor market conditions related to |
//| trend direction, market strength, and market volatility. |
//| |
//| Even though comprehensive, the T.D.I. is easy to read and use. |
//| |
//| Green line = RSI Price line |
//| Red line = Trade Signal line |
//| Blue lines = Volatility Band |
//| Yellow line = Market Base Line |
//| |
//| Trend Direction - Immediate and Overall |
//| Immediate = Green over Red...price action is moving up. |
//| Red over Green...price action is moving down. |
//| |
//| Overall = Yellow line trends up and down generally between the |
//| lines 32 & 68. Watch for Yellow line to bounces off |
//| these lines for market reversal. Trade long when |
//| price is above the Yellow line, and trade short when |
//| price is below. |
//| |
//| Market Strength & Volatility - Immediate and Overall |
//| Immediate = Green Line - Strong = Steep slope up or down. |
//| Weak = Moderate to Flat slope. |
//| |
//| Overall = Blue Lines - When expanding, market is strong and |
//| trending. When constricting, market is weak and |
//| in a range. When the Blue lines are extremely tight |
//| in a narrow range, expect an economic announcement |
//| or other market condition to spike the market. |
//| |
//| |
//| Entry conditions |
//| Scalping - Long = Green over Red, Short = Red over Green |
//| Active - Long = Green over Red & Yellow lines |
//| Short = Red over Green & Yellow lines |
//| Moderate - Long = Green over Red, Yellow, & 50 lines |
//| Short= Red over Green, Green below Yellow & 50 line |
//| |
//| Exit conditions* |
//| Long = Green crosses below Red |
//| Short = Green crosses above Red |
//| * If Green crosses either Blue lines, consider exiting when |
//| when the Green line crosses back over the Blue line. |
//| |
//| |
//| IMPORTANT: The default settings are well tested and proven. |
//| But, you can change the settings to fit your |
//| trading style. |
//| |
//| |
//| Price & Line Type settings: |
//| RSI Price settings |
//| 0 = Close price [DEFAULT] |
//| 1 = Open price. |
//| 2 = High price. |
//| 3 = Low price. |
//| 4 = Median price, (high+low)/2. |
//| 5 = Typical price, (high+low+close)/3. |
//| 6 = Weighted close price, (high+low+close+close)/4. |
//| |
//| RSI Price Line & Signal Line Type settings |
//| 0 = Simple moving average [DEFAULT] |
//| 1 = Exponential moving average |
//| 2 = Smoothed moving average |
//| 3 = Linear weighted moving average |
//| |
//| Good trading, |
//| |
