The DeMarker indicator is the sum of all price increment values recorded during the "i" period divided by the price minima:
The DeMax(i) is calculated:
If high(i) > high(i-1) , then DeMax(i) = high(i)-high(i-1), otherwise DeMax(i) = 0The DeMin(i) is calculated:
If low(i)The value of the DeMarker is calculated as:
DMark(i) = SMA(DeMax, N)/(SMA(DeMax, N)+SMA(DeMin, N))Where: SMA - Simple Moving Average;
