Traders Dynamic Index - RSI with signal, bands and market base line (MT4)
Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) fuses RSI momentum, a signal line, volatility bands and the Market Base Line into one pane. It helps time pullbacks, confirm breakouts and filter chop vs trend on MetaTrader 4.
What it shows
- RSI Price Line (PL): fast RSI of price for momentum.
- Signal Line (SL): smoothed PL for crosses and noise control.
- Volatility Bands (VB): Bollinger Bands on RSI to judge expansion and extremes.
- Market Base Line (MBL): slow bias line to separate risk-on vs risk-off phases.
Trade ideas
- Trend pullback: enter when PL bounces above MBL and crosses SL up in an uptrend. Mirror for shorts.
- Breakout validation: require PL to ride outside VB while MBL slopes with the move.
- Mean reversion: fade only when PL snaps back inside VB after an extreme near structure.
- Multi TF: use higher TF MBL as bias and execute on lower TF crosses.
Inputs that matter
- RSI period for PL, signal smoothing, MBL length.
- Band deviation for VB expansion sensitivity.
- Levels 32 50 68 to frame bias.
- Alerts for PL x SL, PL x MBL and VB breaks.
Suggested usage
- M5-M15: intraday timing and exit control.
- M30-H4: swing continuation and exhaustion checks.
- Daily+: regime bias and risk trimming.
