DMI VTTrader Version (Upd: Jun 18 10)
Nikolay.Gekht · Tue May 04, 2010 1:28 pm
Upd Jun 18 2010. The first version of the indicator was always calculated as DMI(14), regardless the parameter. The problem is fixed now.
The MT4 and FXCM Trading Station DMI (Directional Movement Index) implementation uses EMA smoothing instead of Wilder’s smoothing.
This is the implementation of the DMI indicator on the base of Wilders smoothing.
See ADX VTTrader version topic for more details about the algorithms.
Download the indicator:
This indicator uses WMA indicator. Please, do not forget to download and install it. Find the WMA indicator here: WMA (Wilder’s moving average).
Code: Select all `– Indicator profile initialization routine – Defines indicator profile properties and indicator parameters – TODO: Add minimal and maximal value of numeric parameters and default color of the streams function Init() indicator:name(“Directional Movement Index (VTTrader version)”); indicator:description(“”); indicator:requiredSource(core.Bar); indicator:type(core.Oscillator);
indicator.parameters:addGroup(“Calculation”); indicator.parameters:addInteger(“N”, “Number of periods”, “”, 14, 1, 1000); indicator.parameters:addGroup(“Style”); indicator.parameters:addColor(“clrDIP”, “Color of DI+”, “”, core.rgb(0, 183, 183)); indicator.parameters:addColor(“clrDIM”, “Color of DI-“, “”, core.rgb(219, 64, 0));
end
– Indicator instance initialization routine – Processes indicator parameters and creates output streams – TODO: Refine the first period calculation for each of the output streams. – TODO: Calculate all constants, create instances all subsequent indicators and load all required libraries – Parameters block local N;
local first; local firstTR; local source = nil;
– Streams block local TR = nil; local TR_W = nil; local PlusDM = nil; local PlusDM_W = nil; local PlusDI = nil; local MinusDM = nil; local MinusDM_W = nil; local MinusDI = nil; local H, L, C; local DIP = nil; local DIM = nil;
– Routine function Prepare() N = instance.parameters.N; source = instance.source; firstTR = source:first() + 1; H = source.high; L = source.low; C = source.close;
TR = instance:addInternalStream(firstTR, 0); PlusDM = instance:addInternalStream(firstTR, 0); MinusDM = instance:addInternalStream(firstTR, 0);
TR_W = core.indicators:create(“WMA”, TR, N); PlusDM_W = core.indicators:create(“WMA”, PlusDM, N); MinusDM_W = core.indicators:create(“WMA”, MinusDM, N);
first = TR_W.DATA:first();
local name = profile:id() .. “(“ .. source:name() .. “, “ .. N .. “)”; instance:name(name); DIP = instance:addStream(“DIP”, core.Line, name .. “.DIP”, “DI+”, instance.parameters.clrDIP, first) DIM = instance:addStream(“DIM”, core.Line, name .. “.DIM”, “DI-“, instance.parameters.clrDIM, first) end
– Indicator calculation routine function Update(p, mode) if p >= firstTR then local th, tl;
if C[p - 1] > H[p] then th = C[p - 1]; else th = H[p]; end
if C[p - 1] < L[p] then tl = C[p - 1]; else tl = L[p]; end
TR[p] = th - tl;
if H[p] > H[p - 1] and L[p] >= L[p - 1] then PlusDM[p] = H[p] - H[p - 1]; elseif H[p] > H[p - 1] and L[p] < L[p - 1] and ((H[p] - H[p - 1]) > (L[p - 1] - L[p])) then PlusDM[p] = H[p] - H[p - 1]; else PlusDM[p] = 0; end if L[p] < L[p - 1] and H[p] <= H[p - 1] then MinusDM[p] = L[p - 1] - L[p]; elseif L[p] < L[p - 1] and H[p] > H[p - 1] and ((H[p] - H[p - 1]) < (L[p - 1] - L[p])) then MinusDM[p] = L[p - 1] - L[p]; else MinusDM[p] = 0; end end
TR_W:update(mode); PlusDM_W:update(mode); MinusDM_W:update(mode);
if p >= first then DIP[p] = 100 * PlusDM_W.DATA[p] / TR_W.DATA[p] DIM[p] = 100 * MinusDM_W.DATA[p] / TR_W.DATA[p] end end`

I’m currently testing this indicator but for some reason the lines don’t change if I change the number of period, I changed it to 1,7,14,18 but doesn’t change anything..
Am I missing something?
Cheers.. BC

It’s me who was missing something. The first version was always calculated N=14. I apologize for the inconvenience. The indicator is fixed. Thank you very much for reporting the problem.
