Description:
Indicator based around Renko Bar Chart emulator (ATR) with direction change used to signal buy/sell trades.

I have not yet done any back testing on the system as a whole myself, but thought the DMISTO was an interesting indicator, so ported it over for those who might want to play with it and create their own systems. I added dots that denote signals similar...
A modified DMI, This turns the standard DMI into an Oscillator. The DMI cross signal is the same, but as an OSC you get the added benefits or finding divergences, etc. The added WIlder's Average Line (blue) can help you see if a short term trend is getting less interesting.
