Introduction to the TDI with Trade Signals and Alert Indicator

The Traders Dynamic Index is a popular technical indicator which can be used as a trading strategy or system by itself. Many traders have also claimed success using these types of indicators.

The TDI with Trade Signals and Alert Indicator is a version of the TDI indicator which adds specific trade signals on the price chart.

What is the TDI with Trade Signals and Alert Indicator?

TDI stands for Traders Dynamic Index. The TDI with Trade Signals and Alert Indicator is a custom technical indicator which is a variation of the popular Traders Dynamic Index Indicator.

This indicator has the basic components of a TDI indicator, which is a Relative Strength Index (RSI) line, a moving average of the RSI, and a Volatility Bands. It also displays the latest trend direction and trade signals on the extreme right of the oscillator window, which is also available with other custom TDI indicators.

What this indicator adds is a different set of trade signals on the price chart itself. It labels a candle “B” to indicate a buy signal, “S” to indicate a sell signal, and “*” symbol to indicate the trade exits.

How the TDI with Trade Signals and Alert Indicator Works?

As with most TDI indicators, this indicator begins with an RSI line. It then applies a moving average line on the RSI, which acts like its signal line. Volatility Bands are then added to the indicator window which is effectively a Bollinger Bands for the RSI.

The trend direction indication on the far right of the indicator window is based on the location of the RSI line in relation to the middle line of the volatility bands. Its corresponding trade signal is based on the crossing over of the crossing over of the RSI line and the signal line.

The buy and sell trade signals on the price chart have a different algorithm which is somehow based on momentum.

How to use the TDI with Trade Signals and Alert Indicator for MT4

This indicator has several options within its settings which allow traders to modify the various components of the indicator. It also has options that toggle the trade signals, as well as the alert notifications, on or off.

It can also be used based on the “B”, “S”, and “*” trade signals.
