Directional volatility

Comments

I think the directional volatility indicator has an error.

The strategy summary shows:

Open a new long position at the beginning of the bar when the following logic condition is satisfied:

Directional volatility* (5); the line rises.

Open a new short position at the beginning of the bar when the following logic condition is satisfied:

Directional volatility* (5); the line falls.

----------------------
Open a new long position at the beginning of the bar when the following logic condition is satisfied:

Directional volatility* (5); the line changes its direction upward.

Open a new short position at the beginning of the bar when the following logic condition is satisfied:

Directional volatility* (5); the line changes its direction downward.
----------------------

Thus in all the logics of the indicator

In this way we can only apply ascending volatility when the price rises, but not when the price falls.
hello dear
Please add the following indicator
