The Tushar Chande’s DMI Metatrader 5 forex indicator is used to determine overbought and oversold market conditions of an asset of interest.
The indicator is quite similar to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in its workings.
The core difference between both aforementioned is that the RSI deploys a fixed number of time periods (commonly 14), while the DMI deploys a different time period as volatility changes.
The interpretations of the Tushar Chande’s DMI MT5 forex indicator is the same as the RSI, where readings below 30 are tagged oversold, readings above the 70 level are deemed overbought.
As the volatility within the underlying asset increases, the number of time periods used in the dynamic momentum index decreases, making the Tushar Chande’s DMI Metatrader 5 indicator more responsive to changing prices than the RSI.
