STD Aadaptive, floating RSX Dynamic Momentum Index [Loxx]STD Aadaptive, floating RSX Dynamic Momentum Index is an attempt to improve Chande's original work on Dynamic Momentum Index. The full name of this indicator is "Standard-Deviation-Adaptive, floating-level, Dynamic Momentum Index on Jurik's RSX".
What Is Dynamic Momentum Index?
The dynamic momentum index is used in technical analysis to determine if a security is overbought or oversold. This indicator, developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll, is very similar to the relative strength index (RSI). The main difference between the two is that the RSI uses a fixed number of time periods (usually 14), while the dynamic momentum index uses different time periods as volatility changes, typically between five and 30.
What is RSX?
RSI is a very popular technical indicator, because it takes into consideration market speed, direction and trend uniformity. However, the its widely criticized drawback is its noisy (jittery) appearance. The Jurk RSX retains all the useful features of RSI, but with one important exception: the noise is gone with no added lag.
Differences
RSX is used instead of RSI for the calculation, producing a much smoother result
Standard deviation is used to adapt the RSX calculation
Floating levels are used instead of fixed levels for OB/OS

Dynamic Momentum Index
Rumpy's Dynamic Momentum IndexNote : I haven't been able to determine from the info I've found whether the variable length is used for the average gain/loss part of the calculation and/or for the relative strength portion of the calculation . If anyone knows for certain please let me know.
Type A only uses the variable length for the final relative strength calculation and the fixed RSI length for the average gain/loss.
Type B uses the variable length for both.
I do suspect that Type B is correct though as it is a lot more sensitive to momentum changes while Type A tends to just exaggerate normal RSI

This indicator, developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll, is similar to the relative strength index (RSI). The main difference between the two is that the RSI uses a fixed number of time periods (usually 14) in its calculation, while the dynamic momentum index uses different time periods as volatility changes, typically between five and 30.
The dynamic momentum index uses fewer periods in its calculation when volatility is high, and more periods when volatility is low.
The number of time periods used in the dynamic momentum index decreases as volatility in the underlying security increases, making this indicator more responsive to changing prices than the RSI. This is particularly useful when an asset's price moves quickly as it approaches key support or resistance levels. Because the indicator is more sensitive, traders can potentially find earlier entry and exit points than with the RSI.
