Indicator Description

The Directional Movement indicator elaborates on the ADX study (as introduced by Welles Wilder). In addition to the ADX, the indicator applies two different standard indicators, one negative and one positive. The two lines are plotted on the same chart to show the direction of the trend and a third line, the average directional index, or ADX, shows the strength of the move.

Other Library Indicators

The Indicator Library also features the standard ADX, the ADXR, the ADXVMA and ADXVMA Plus.
