In the times of ranging market, the DeM oscillator will move around 0.5 value. There is no strong trend and it is best to observe the market and wait. You should take action when the DeM fluctuates beyond the values of 0.3 or 0.7.

So how do you trade? Well, there are several choices. You can enter a long position when the indicator’s line is nearing the 0.7 value. You may also open a short position once the DeM exceeds the 0.7 level because it means the downtrend is coming.

When the oscillator is approaching 0.3 value, it is a signal to place a sell position. But when it moves beyond 0.3, the uptrend is coming, and therefore, you should enter a buy trade.

This is a simple way to determine the direction of the forthcoming trend and trading along with it. If the DeM signals the uptrend, you place a long position. If it indicates the downtrend is on its way, enter a short position.

Take a look at the exemplary chart above. It shows 3 consecutive winning trades based on the DeM indicator’s signals.

In the first situation, the DeMarker indicator was fluctuating below 0.3 value. Then it crossed 0.3 and moved forward 0.5. It was a signal for the upcoming uptrend and that is why I entered a 5-minute buy position.

The second situation is the opposite. The DeM exceeded the 0.7 value and after a time it had cut it and continued towards 0.5. The downtrend was coming so I entered a sell position.

And the third position is similar to the first one. The DeM was crossing 0.3 from below so I opened a buy position.

Now that you have an overview of the DeMarker indicator, go to your Olymp Trade demo account and check how it works. Leave a comment on your progress.
