A quick scan of the code used in indicator 609 shows that the arrows are generated when the +DI crosses the -DI in the Average Directional Movement indicator.

It unfortunately has a flaw that makes it useless: it uses shift-1, ie a future value, for calculating the cross.

This could be corrected, but the lovely picking of peaks and valleys would go out the window and it would exhibit large drawdowns during sideways markets, which is sadly the case with most trend followers.
