Traders Dynamic Index (TDI RT Alerts Divergence) for MT4 – Trend, Momentum & Volatility in One Tool
The Traders Dynamic Index (TDI RT Alerts Divergence) is a powerful fusion indicator that allows traders to analyze the market from multiple perspectives at once. It helps determine:
Trend direction
Market sentiment
Volatility levels
Potential divergence setups
Because of its integrated structure, the TDI can function as a complete trading system on its own.
What is the TDI Indicator?
The Traders Dynamic Index was developed in 2005 by Dean Malone as a comprehensive market condition indicator.
The TDI is built on the foundation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), enhanced with:
Moving Averages (for signal smoothing)
Bollinger Bands (for volatility measurement)
This combination transforms a simple momentum oscillator into a multi-layered trading tool.
TDI Indicator Components Explained
The indicator consists of five key lines:
🟢 Green Line – RSI (Market Sentiment)
Represents short-term price momentum and reflects how the market reacts to buying and selling pressure.
🔴 Red Line – Signal Line
A moving average of the green line. Crossovers between green and red generate entry and exit signals.
🟡 Yellow Line – Market Baseline
Represents the broader market trend. This is the most important line for identifying long-term direction.
🔵 Blue Bands – Volatility Bands
Similar to Bollinger Bands, these lines expand and contract based on volatility levels.
Expanding bands → Increasing volatility
Contracting bands → Decreasing volatility
Strong contraction often precedes major market moves, especially before important news releases.
How to Use the TDI Indicator
1️⃣ Identifying Trend Direction
Green above Red → Short-term bullish momentum
Green below Red → Short-term bearish momentum
For stronger confirmation:
Green above both Red and Yellow → Strong bullish condition
Green below both Red and Yellow → Strong bearish condition
2️⃣ Using the Yellow Market Baseline
The yellow line helps identify the broader trend:
Rising yellow line → Bullish Market Structure
Falling yellow line → Bearish market structure
When price rejects or reacts strongly near the yellow line, it may signal a Trend Continuation or reversal.
3️⃣ Measuring Trend Strength
Steep slope of green line → Strong momentum
Flat green line → Weak or inactive market
Avoid trading when lines move horizontally, as it indicates low momentum and potential consolidation.
4️⃣ Monitoring Volatility
Bands widening → Volatility increasing
Bands narrowing → Volatility decreasing
Extreme narrowing often signals an upcoming breakout.
