Kernel Weighted DMI | QuantEdgeB

📊 Introducing Kernel Weighted DMI (K-DMI) by QuantEdgeB

🛠️ Overview
K-DMI is a next-gen momentum indicator that combines the traditional Directional Movement Index (DMI) with advanced kernel smoothing techniques to produce a highly adaptive, noise-resistant trend signal.
Unlike standard DMI that can be overly reactive or choppy in consolidation phases, K-DMI applies kernel-weighted filtering (Linear, Exponential, or Gaussian) to stabilize directional movement readings and extract a more reliable momentum signal.

✨ Key Features
🔹 Kernel Smoothing Engine
Smooths DMI using your choice of kernel (Linear, Exponential, Gaussian) for flexible noise reduction and clarity.
🔹 Dynamic Trend Signal
Generates real-time long/short trend bias based on signal crossing upper or lower thresholds (defaults: ±1).
🔹 Visual Encoding
Includes directional gradient fills, candle coloring, and momentum-based overlays for instant signal comprehension.
🔹 Multi-Mode Plotting
Optional moving average overlays visualize structure and compression/expansion within price action.

📐 How It Works
1️⃣ Directional Movement Index (DMI)
Calculates the traditional +DI and -DI differential to derive directional bias.
2️⃣ Kernel-Based Smoothing
Applies a custom-weighted average across historical DMI values using one of three smoothing methods:
• Linear → Simple tapering weights
• Exponential → Decay curve for recent emphasis
• Gaussian → Bell-shaped weight for centered precision
3️⃣ Signal Generation
• ✅ Long → Signal > Long Threshold (default: +1)
• ❌ Short → Signal < Short Threshold (default: -1)
Additional overlays signal potential compression zones or trend resumption using gradient and line fills.

⚙️ Custom Settings
• DMI Length: Default = 7
• Kernel Type: Options → Linear, Exponential, Gaussian (Def:Linear)
• Kernel Length: Default = 25
• Long Threshold: Default = 1
• Short Threshold: Default = -1
• Color Mode: Strategy, Solar, Warm, Cool, Classic, Magic
• Show Labels: Optional entry signal labels (Long/Short)
• Enable Extra Plots: Toggle MA overlays and dynamic bands

👥 Who Is It For?
✅ Trend Traders → Identify sustained directional bias with smoother signal lines
✅ Quant Analysts → Leverage advanced smoothing models to enhance data clarity
✅ Discretionary Swing Traders → Visualize clean breakouts or fades within choppy zones
✅ MA Compression Traders → Use overlay MAs to detect expansion opportunities

📌 Conclusion
Kernel Weighted DMI is the evolution of classic momentum tracking—merging traditional DMI logic with adaptable kernel filters. It provides a refined lens for trend detection, while optional visual overlays support price structure analysis.

🔹 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Smoothed and stabilized DMI for reliable trend signal generation
2️⃣ Optional Gaussian/exponential weighting for adaptive responsiveness
3️⃣ Custom gradient fills, dynamic MAs, and candle coloring to support visual clarity
