Directional Trend Index (DTI) This technique was described by William Blau in his book "Momentum,
Direction and Divergence" (1995). 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.
Directional Trend Index is an indicator similar to DM+ developed by Welles Wilder.
The DM+ (a part of Directional Movement System which includes both DM+ and
DM- indicators) indicator helps determine if a security is "trending." William
Blau added to it a zeroline, relative to which the indicator is deemed positive or
negative. A stable uptrend is a period when the DTI value is positive and rising, a
downtrend when it is negative and falling.

D_Three Ten Osc Strategy Backtest This indicator allows the user to plot a daily 3-10 Oscillator on a Tick Bar Chart or any intraday interval.
Walter Bressert's 3-10 Oscillator is a detrending oscillator derived
from subtracting a 10 day moving average from a 3 day moving average.
The second plot is an 16 day simple moving average of the 3-10 Oscillator.
The 16 period moving average is the slow line and the 3/10 oscillator is
the fast line.
For more information on the 3-10 Oscillator see Walter Bressert's book

D_ELI (Ehlers Leading Indicator) Strategy Backtest This Indicator plots a single
Daily DSP (Detrended Synthetic Price) and a Daily ELI (Ehlers Leading
Indicator) using intraday data.
Detrended Synthetic Price is a function that is in phase with the dominant
cycle of real price data. This one is computed by subtracting a 3 pole Butterworth
filter from a 2 Pole Butterworth filter. Ehlers Leading Indicator gives an advanced
indication of a cyclic turning point. It is computed by subtracting the simple
moving average of the detrended synthetic price from the detrended synthetic price.
Buy and Sell signals arise when the ELI indicator crosses over or under the detrended
synthetic price.

D_DSP (Detrended Synthetic Price) Strategy 2 Backtest Detrended Synthetic Price is a function that is in phase with the
dominant cycle of real price data. This DSP is computed by subtracting
a half-cycle exponential moving average (EMA) from the quarter cycle
exponential moving average.

Confluence Strategy Backtest This is modified version of Dale Legan's "Confluence" indicator written by Gary Fritz.
================================================================
Here is Gary`s commentary:
Since the Confluence indicator returned several "states" (bull, bear, grey, and zero),
he modified the return value a bit:
-9 to -1 = Bearish
-0.9 to 0.9 = "grey" (and zero)
1 to 9 = Bullish
The "grey" range corresponds to the "grey" values plotted by Dale's indicator, but
they're divided by 10.

CMOfilt BacktestThis indicator plots a CMO which ignores price changes which are less
than a threshold value. CMO was developed by Tushar Chande. A scientist,
an inventor, and a respected trading system developer, Mr. Chande developed
the CMO to capture what he calls "pure momentum". For more definitive
information on the CMO and other indicators we recommend the book The New
Technical Trader by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll.
The CMO is closely related to, yet unique from, other momentum oriented
indicators such as Relative Strength Index, Stochastic, Rate-of-Change, etc.
It is most closely related to Welles Wilder`s RSI, yet it differs in several ways:
- It uses data for both up days and down days in the numerator, thereby directly
measuring momentum;
- The calculations are applied on unsmoothed data. Therefore, short-term extreme
movements in price are not hidden. Once calculated, smoothing can be applied to the
CMO, if desired;
- The scale is bounded between +100 and -100, thereby allowing you to clearly see
changes in net momentum using the 0 level. The bounded scale also allows you to
conveniently compare values across different securities.

FLD's - Future Lines of Demarcation Backtest An FLD is a line that is plotted on the same scale as the price and is in fact the
price itself displaced to the right (into the future) by (approximately) half the
wavelength of the cycle for which the FLD is plotted. There are three FLD's that can be
plotted for each cycle:
An FLD based on the median price.
An FLD based on the high price.
An FLD based on the low price.

Bill Williams Averages. 3Lines Backtest This indicator calculates 3 Moving Averages for default values of
13, 8 and 5 days, with displacement 8, 5 and 3 days: Median Price (High+Low/2).
The most popular method of interpreting a moving average is to compare
the relationship between a moving average of the security's price with
the security's price itself (or between several moving averages).

Z-Score Strategy Backtest The author of this indicator is Veronique Valcu. The z-score (z) for a data
item x measures the distance (in standard deviations StdDev) and direction
of the item from its mean (U):
z = (x-StdDev) / U
A value of zero indicates that the data item x is equal to the mean U, while
positive or negative values show that the data item is above (x>U) or below
(x Values of +2 and -2 show that the data item is two standard deviations
above or below the chosen mean, respectively, and over 95.5% of all data
items are contained within these two horizontal references (see Figure 1).
We substitute x with the closing price C, the mean U with simple moving
average (SMA) of n periods (n), and StdDev with the standard deviation of
closing prices for n periods, the above formula becomes:
Z_score = (C - SMA(n)) / StdDev(C,n)
The z-score indicator is not new, but its use can be seen as a supplement to
Bollinger bands. It offers a simple way to assess the position of the price
vis-a-vis its resistance and support levels expressed by the Bollinger Bands.
In addition, crossings of z-score averages may signal the start or the end of
a tradable trend. Traders may take a step further and look for stronger signals
by identifying common crossing points of z-score, its average, and average of average.
