True Direction Oscillator

Or (TDO)  which is an index that measures the price rate of change using the principle of " Pure Momentum".

When a security price advances from 10 to 15 then the price rate of change is 150% but when it declines back from 15 to 10 then the price rate of change is 33.3% only. That is why technical analysis indicators like "Price Rate of Change" (ROC) or "Momentum" give higher readings for ascending price movements than those given to descending ones. TDO fixes this problem to help traders at reading momentum correctly.

TDO Features

TDO calculates pure momentum as percent, so it is used to compare different securities from different markets. (Ex: compare EURUSD with Gold & Dow Jones Industrial).

TDO panel calculation depends on five different periods, to cover a wide range of market cycles and can be more effective at catching trends.

TDO arrow appears when all TDO panel dots are in line for the first time. This feature reduces the number of false zero-line cross signals to their lowest number.

Sound, email alerts when trend strengthens and when arrow signals appear at the beginning of a new trend.
