The Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) is a versatile indicator that plots market sentiment, trend direction, and market volatility information. This hybrid tool combines elements from the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Averages, and Bollinger Bands to provide traders with a comprehensive market overview.
What is TDI?
Traders Dynamic Index Indicator represents an oscillator indicator combining Relative Strength Index, RSI moving averages, and Bollinger volatility bands. At the same time, the TDI hybrid indicator measures trend direction, market strength, and market volatility.
The TDI is displayed as a bounded oscillator, typically with values ranging from 0 to 100, with a typical mid-point of 50. The TDI consists of different lines that each provide specific insights:
- Green Line (RSI Price Line): This is the RSI of the price line, typically smoothed using a 13-period moving average.
- Red Line (Signal Line): This is the moving average of the Green line, typically smoothed over a 7-period moving average.
- Blue Lines (Volatility Bands): These lines represent the Bollinger Bands and move in response to market volatility.
- Yellow Line (Market Base Line): This is typically a 50-period moving average, serving as a trend direction and strength indicator.
Traders use the TDI to generate various trading signals. For instance, when the Green line crosses above the Red line, it could be considered a bullish signal, and vice versa for a bearish signal. The relationship of these lines with the Blue lines (akin to Bollinger Bands) can provide overbought/oversold conditions.
The TDI Dynamic Index Indicator is a powerful and comprehensive tool that makes trading easier. It uses Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Averages (MA), and Bollinger Bands-based volatility. It offers a more condensed manner, allowing Traders to see the complete picture of the Forex market situation. The TDI indicator can use both visual and sound alerts. You can find this indicator on cTrader, MT4, and MT5 platforms.

How to use the Traders Dynamic Index Indicator?
TDI lines on the chart are presented as:
- The green line represents the RSI Price line
- The Red-line represents the Trade Signal line
- Blue lines are Volatility Bands
- The yellow line represents Market Base Line
We have a rising trend when the Green-line is over the Red Line. When the Red-line is over the Green Line, we have a downtrend.
We have a market reversal when the price bounces off the Yellow line. Market strength is defined as strong, weak, and moderate. When the Blue lines are incredibly tight in a narrow range, expect an economic announcement or other market conditions to spike the market.
