Jim,
I had a look at the Directional Movement Oscillator(DMO) and as you
suggest there
is a lot of whipsawing which lessens the effectiveness of the indicator.
I applied a 10 day exponential moving average to the DMO which helped to
smooth it and then displaced the MA back three periods. The MA of the
DMO seems to give a clearer signal with less whipsaws. I've attached a
.gif of Newscorp which compares the DMO and the MA of the DMO in the
inner windows and you'll see what I mean. What are your thoughts?
Regards
Ian Burgoyne, Melbourne
