Directional Movement System

The Directional Movement System is a collection of indicators designed to identify whether a market is trending or ranging. It consists of the Average Directional Index, the Positive Directional Indicator, and the Negative Directional Indicator.

Developed to filter out market noise, this system allows traders to focus on assets that are exhibiting clear price direction. It is widely used in financial derivatives and crypto trading to set up trend-following systems.

By comparing the positive and negative directional movements, the system provides a clear picture of which side is currently dominating the market. It does not rely on price alone but on the relationship between highs and lows, making it a versatile tool for various asset classes.

The system is particularly effective in identifying the start of a new trend, allowing for early entry.
