Falling MMI 4
Thus, when we know that MMI is rising, we assume that the market is becoming more efficient,
more random, more cyclic, more reversing or whatever, but in any case bad for trend trading.
However when MMI is falling, chances are good that the next beginning trend will last longer than normal.

Figured I should visualize this falling MMI 4 trick I've been using.
And it sort of works just as I imagined - as a smart throttler.
A means to recognize start of the trend and follow it.
function run()
{
set(LOGFILE|PLOTNOW);
BarPeriod = 60;
MaxBars = 200;
asset(""); // dummy asset
ColorUp = ColorDn = 0; // don't plot a price curve
vars Sine = series(genSine(60,30));
var mmi = MMI(Sine, 4);
plot("Sine",Sine[0]-0.5,MAIN,BLUE);
plot("MMI 4", mmi, NEW, RED);
plot("MMI Falling", falling(series(mmi)), NEW, GREEN);
}

On 2 bars it (logically) refuses to speak.
On 3 bars it skips.
On 5+ bars it lags.
I mean - indicator itself is definitely useful on longer periods.
It's just not how I've built my algo.
Here's numbehs to show crucial role this single rule is playing:
