What is DMI for options?

DMI, or Directional Movement Index, is a technical analysis indicator used to assess the strength of a trend in financial markets, including options trading. It consists of two lines: the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) and the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), which help traders identify whether a market is trending upward or downward. The DMI can be combined with the Average Directional Index (ADX) to determine the strength of the trend, aiding traders in making informed decisions about entering or exiting options positions.
