The summation by [USER=81677]@Beaches[/USER] nailed it.
At times I'm guilty of explaining the not-so-obvious with an understanding that's what's obvious to most is not obvious to all. At times readers will ask a technical question that relies on a technical answer. The (TSI) indicator raised interest with even the more seasoned readers of this thread thus a post to explain a simple indicator in terms that can be understood.

Asking questions is how we learn but questions should be the last resort not the first. Searching for answers is the first port of call - having those answers clarified is another. (Education is something that is done to you. Learning is something you do for yourself)

I wish to make a general observation
I'm just saying - if you have a crazy idea by all means test it to death. But if you are testing a trading idea as the (BBO Strategy) that's has a zillion "Publicised Backtests Reports " with a library of books written about the implementation of the idea - why is there a need for additional confirmation of results?

The internet is awash with published (BBO) code with backtest results
Pick one & if it displays a positive expectancy & you have an urge to trade - trade it with small amounts at first till your confidence & experience increase.
