ADX Technical Analysis & ADX Stock Signals

Developed & Created by J. Welles Wilder

This is a momentum indicator designed to measure the force behind a price trend, derived from the DMI (Directional Movement Index), which comprises two distinct lines.

+DI - Positive Direction Movement Index

–DI - Negative Directional Movement Index

The ADX is computed by subtracting these two values and applying a smoothing function.

ADX Analysis - ADX Trading Indicator - ADX Indicator

The ADX is not a tool to find trend direction but tells how strong the price trend is, using a scale that goes from Zero to 100.

Higher the indicator value the stronger the trend.

A reading registered beneath the 20 threshold generally implies that the stock market is not establishing a clear trend but is instead moving sideways within a defined range.

A price of above 20 confirms a buy or promote inventory sign and indicates a new market fashion is rising.

Values above 30 demonstrates a strong trending market.

while ADX indicator turns down from above 30, it signifies that present day fashion is dropping strength.

ADX combined with DMI Indicator

Because the ADX does not show direction on its own, it is used with the DMI index to figure out which way the indices are going.
