Adaptive Dynamic Momentum Index with RSX and Discontinued Signal Lines
Summary
This indicator description starts from the Dynamic Momentum Index, an RSI-like measure intended to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The standard concept adapts its lookback period as volatility changes, unlike RSI’s fixed period. This version changes the calculation by using RSX in place of RSI, adapting that calculation with standard deviation, and adding discontinued signal lines instead of relying on fixed overbought and oversold levels.
The proposed interpretation uses color changes as signals. Colors may change when the indicator’s slope turns or when it crosses outer or middle signal lines. The middle line is the average of the upper and lower lines and is presented as a central reference comparable to zero, or 50 on a DMI scale. The note gives no parameter settings, trading rules for managing positions, test results, or evidence that these signals predict returns; it describes an indicator variant and possible visual cues rather than a validated strategy.
Key ideas
- The Dynamic Momentum Index adapts its lookback period as volatility changes.
- This variant uses RSX and standard-deviation adaptation in its calculation.
- It replaces fixed overbought and oversold levels with discontinued signal lines.
- Color changes can reflect slope reversals or crossings of outer and middle signal lines.
- The note offers no backtest or evidence validating the suggested signals.
