DT-Pirson Volatility Indicator for Trend and Flat Markets

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document presents DT-Pirson as a volatility indicator intended to distinguish stronger trends from flat market conditions. It says readings above 0.5 indicate an approximately strong trend, while values approaching zero correspond to a flat market. This gives a trader a simple threshold-based interpretation of the indicator’s output.

The description provides no formula, parameter guidance, sample chart details, or backtest results, so it is not possible to assess how the indicator is calculated or how reliable the threshold is across instruments and timeframes. It notes that an MQL4 implementation was published in 2008 and that the text was translated from Russian. The historical implementation detail does not establish current compatibility or predictive value.

Key ideas

  • DT-Pirson is presented as a volatility indicator for distinguishing trends from flat conditions.
  • Readings above 0.5 are described as suggesting a strong trend.
  • Values approaching zero are associated with flat markets.
  • The document gives no calculation method or evidence validating the stated threshold.
