The ADXVMA Plus version is identical to the regular ADXVMA with the exception of additional parameters for setting the lookback period for the Directional Movement (DM), ADX and Chande EMA. Furthermore, this version has the option of using the DM as suggested by Wilder, in place of the standard version. An Indicator Spotlight post (with video) is available here
