    - 'low' - the low prices

     Description

    The +DI function is a part of the Directional Movement System developed by J. Welles Wilder. The system consists of three lines:

    - The Positive Direction Indicator (+DI) summarizes upward trend movement;
    - The Negative Direction Indicator (-DI) summarizes downward trend movement;
    - The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) indicates whether the market is trending or ranging. For internal calculations the DI_POS function uses the modified moving average.
