Developed by Donald Dorsey and was originally used to trade Stocks and Commodities market, before traders took it & started trading the market using this trading indicator.

Dorsey chose to name it "Inertia" because of his interpretation of the market trend.

Therefore, a trend is the measurement of market inertia. This is an oscillator that uses the scale of zero to a hundred. Signals are generated using the 50 level center line cross-over method.
