DirectionalMovementSystem(int periods)

The Directional Movement System is composed of three indicators that show if the market is trending and provide signals.

C#Python

DirectionalMovementSystem DirectionalMovementSystem(int periods)

api.Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(periods: int) -> DirectionalMovementSystem

Parameters

Name	C# type	Python type	Description
`periods`	`int`	`int`	The value of the periods used for calculation.

Returns DirectionalMovementSystem — Directional Movement System indicator instance

Examples

C#Python

var dms = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(14);
if (dms.ADX.LastValue > 25 && dms.DIPlus.LastValue > dms.DIMinus.LastValue)
    Print("Strong up trend, ADX: {0}", dms.ADX.LastValue);

dms = api.Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(14)
if dms.ADX.LastValue > 25 and dms.DIPlus.LastValue > dms.DIMinus.LastValue:
    api.Print(f"Strong up trend, ADX: {dms.ADX.LastValue}")

DirectionalMovementSystem(Bars bars, int periods)

The Directional Movement System is composed of three indicators that show if the market is trending and provide signals.

C#Python

DirectionalMovementSystem DirectionalMovementSystem(Bars bars, int periods)

api.Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(bars: Bars, periods: int) -> DirectionalMovementSystem

Parameters

Name	C# type	Python type	Description
`bars`	`Bars`	`Bars`	The Bars that will be used by indicator, you can pass another timeframe/symbol bars
`periods`	`int`	`int`	The value of the periods used for calculation.

Returns DirectionalMovementSystem — Directional Movement System indicator instance

Examples

C#Python

var dailyBars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);
var dailyDms = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(dailyBars, 14);
Print("Daily ADX: {0}, DI+: {1}, DI-: {2}", dailyDms.ADX.LastValue, dailyDms.DIPlus.LastValue, dailyDms.DIMinus.LastValue);

dailyBars = api.MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily)
dailyDms = api.Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(dailyBars, 14)
api.Print(f"Daily ADX: {dailyDms.ADX.LastValue}, DI+: {dailyDms.DIPlus.LastValue}, DI-: {dailyDms.DIMinus.LastValue}")

`periods`	`int`	`int`	The value of the periods used for calculation.
`maType`	`MovingAverageType`	`MovingAverageType`	Method of calculation of MA.

Returns DirectionalMovementSystem — Directional Movement System indicator instance

Examples

C#Python

var dailyBars = MarketData.GetBars(TimeFrame.Daily);
var dailyDms = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(dailyBars, 14, MovingAverageType.Exponential);
