What is the ADX Indicator?

The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend — not its direction. It is derived from the Directional Movement System developed by J. Welles Wilder.

ADX < 20: Weak or no trend — market is ranging. Avoid trend-following strategies.
ADX 20–25: Trend is developing — watch for breakout confirmation.
ADX 25–50: Strong trend in play — ideal for trend-following entries.
ADX > 50: Very strong trend — momentum is powerful, be cautious of reversals.
+DI > −DI: Bullish directional pressure — buyers are in control.
−DI > +DI: Bearish directional pressure — sellers are in control.
DI Spread: Larger spread between +DI and −DI = cleaner trend signal.

ADX Formula

ADX = (Prior ADX × 13 + Current ADX) / 14

+DI = (Smoothed +DM / ATR) × 100, where +DM = Current High − Previous High
−DI = (Smoothed −DM / ATR) × 100, where −DM = Previous Low − Current Low
DX = (|+DI − −DI| / (+DI + −DI)) × 100
ATR = Average True Range over the look-back period

How to read ADX + DI together

ADX > 25 with +DI > −DI = confirmed uptrend. ADX > 25 with −DI > +DI = confirmed downtrend. When ADX rises from below 20, a new trend may be starting.

FAQs on ADX Indicator

What is the standard ADX setting? The standard setting is 14 periods. Some traders use shorter periods (7) for more sensitivity, or longer periods (30) for smoother signals. The high volatility threshold is 25 and the low volatility threshold is 20.

What are the 3 lines in the ADX indicator? The three lines form the Directional Movement Index (DMI): ADX (black line) measures trend strength, +DI (green line) measures upward directional movement, and −DI (red line) measures downward directional movement.

What is the 2-period ADX strategy? The 2-period ADX is used to identify pauses in a trending market. When the 2-period ADX drops to a low level during an uptrend, it signals a short-term consolidation — a low-risk entry point in the direction of the trend.
