Description:

This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more, we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques, including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and non-trending periods.

Usage:

This is an indicator largely similar to ADX, i.e. it is used to determine the direction and strength of a trend.

EasyLanguage Code:
{INSERT INDICATOR AT BOTTOM OF PRICE SUBGRAPH W SCALE = SCREEN OR PLACE IN ANY OTHER SUBGRAPH.}


INPUTS: R(14), S(10), U(6);

VARS: DTIVAR(0);

DTIVAR = DTI(R, S, U);

IF DTIVAR > 0 AND DTIVAR< 20 AND DTIVAR > DTIVAR[1] THEN
PLOT1(-1, "DTIUP");

IF DTIVAR < 0 AND DTIVAR > -20 AND DTIVAR < DTIVAR[1] THEN
PLOT2(-1, "DTIDN");



IF DTIVAR >= 20 AND DTIVAR > DTIVAR[1] THEN
PLOT3(-1, "DTI20+");

IF DTIVAR <= -20 AND DTIVAR < DTIVAR[1] THEN
PLOT4(-1, "DTI20-");
