Demarker 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." The differences between the indicators are in the somewhat different calculation methods.

If the indicator value is over 0.5, the period is suited for buying, if less - for selling. The farther is the value from 0.5, the stronger are the trend dynamics. If the value is within 0.5, the trend is either flattening or going to revert.

Do you think it would be possible to code into Demarker 1 his concept of Excessive Duration Zones?


“The ideal condition for a meaningful reversal is when an excessively oversold zone, then return to the neutral zone, followed by a mild return into the oversold zone (less than 13 price bars in this zone). When this behavior is concurrent with a longer-term indicator like Sequential or Combo this will enhance the probability of a meaningful reversal.”
