Under the Hood
How It Works
ADX is derived from +DI and -DI (directional indicators). ADX ranges from 0 to 100. Values above 25 suggest a strong trend; below 20 suggest a weak or absent trend.
In Practice
How Traders Use It
Combine ADX with +DI/-DI to determine trend direction and strength. Rising ADX confirms a strengthening trend; falling ADX suggests the trend is weakening.
