Directional Trend Index

What signed balance of directional range survives smoothing? Walk the evidence clock one stage at a time. This lab teaches the publication contract; it does not simulate returns, platform parity, or trade performance.

Selected expression

package convention: DTI=100*RMA(up_range-down_range,n)/RMA(up_range+down_range,n)

Availability rule

An output at t may use only finite, basis-consistent observations available through t; chart alignment never moves the information clock backward.

calculated · step 1 of 7

Verified synthetic fixture

This lab is paired with datasets/implementation-fixtures.json: 96 deterministic, oldest-to-newest observations spanning oscillating, rising, and moderating regimes. It is teaching data—not market history or predictive evidence.
