Didi Index: Using Moving Average Convergence to Spot Reversals

Summary

The Didi Index is described as a moving-average indicator developed by Brazilian analyst Odir Aguiar. It uses three moving averages, including periods of 8 and 20, arranged around a zero center line. Its “needles” form when the averages converge near that line, which the document presents as a way to visualize potential reversal points.

The explanation is conceptual and gives no entry or exit rules, performance evidence, parameter rationale, or risk controls. It recommends using the indicator on more liquid assets, but does not define liquidity or explain how to apply that recommendation. Traders would need to specify the third moving-average period and test signals across instruments and market conditions before relying on them.

Key ideas

• The indicator compares three moving averages around a zero center line.
• Convergence near the center line creates needle-like formations that may mark reversal points.
• The document names periods of 8 and 20 but does not specify the third period.
• It recommends the indicator for more liquid assets and provides no performance tests.
