The DMI, or Directional Movement Index, was developed to determine how much directional movement - or trend - is in a market. It is often combined with the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) study. The DMI is plotted as two lines. You can determine Bullish or Bearish trend direction by two directional indicator values - +DM and -DM. The calculation determines the relationship of the current close to the previous close. If the current close is higher, a greater value is placed on the +DM and
