Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

Line color is lime when DX is rising and price is up, red when DX is rising while price is down or when DX is falling, and gray otherwise. A simple moving average of DX is drawn in blue. Users set the DX smoothing length and the SMA length. Horizontal guides mark no-trend, trend-threshold, and strong-trend levels. It does not generate entries or exits.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
