Equilibrium Points

Welles Wilder, the creator of ADX, was calling the crossing points between DI+ and DI- (Directional Indexes) equilibrium points. He was considering these points extremely important to determine the quality of the trend a commodity was undergoing.

This code draws a line on the price to show the distance between the price line and the Equilibrium Point of the day and allows an easier estimation of how much the highs or lows have to move in order to pierce the equilibrium point and cause an inversion of the trend as it is defined by the Directional Movement Indicator.
