No Nonsense ADX Analysis

The ADX is a momentum indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder.

ADX is used to determine the power of trends on a scale of 0 - 100; the higher the ADX value the stronger the current trend. It should be noted that while the direction of price is important to the ADX calculation, the ADX isn't a directional technical indicator. ADX trading indicator readings above 30 indicate a very strong trend, while ADX readings below 20 indicate no trend gold market - ranging market.

Traders typically use the ADX as a filter combined with other indicators to create a strategy.

Technical analysis ADX levels turning up from below 20 is an early signal of a new trend while declining levels turning down from ADX levels above 30 as deterioration of the current trend.

ADX should be used as part of a strategy that includes the +DI and -DI lines. Most platforms integrate the original ADX with the +DI and -DI indicators (DMI Index Indicator) & collectively refer to the whole system as ADX indicator.

In the illustration depicted and explained below:

ADX is the light green-line

+DI is the blue line(bullish line)

- DI is the red line(bearish line)
