## Overview The Moving Average ADX combines a weighted moving average (WMA) with ADX (Average Directional Index) momentum to create a dynamic, trend-following indicator. The indicator's line changes color based on the ADX strength and directional movement, helping traders identify strong trends and potential reversals.
## Key Features - Color-changing WMA line based on ADX strength and direction - Built-in alerts for trend changes - Customizable ADX and moving average parameters - Overlay indicator that plots directly on the price chart
## Color Signals - **Green Line**: Strong bullish trend (ADX > threshold with +DI > -DI) - **Red Line**: Strong bearish trend (ADX > threshold with -DI > +DI) - **Black Line**: Weak or no trend (ADX < threshold)
## Parameters - **DI Length**: Period for calculating Directional Movement (default: 14) - **ADX Smoothing**: Smoothing period for ADX calculation (default: 14) - **ADX MA Active**: Threshold for ADX to consider a trend strong (default: 18) - **Length**: Period for the Weighted Moving Average (default: 34) - **Source**: Price source for calculations (default: close)
## Trading Applications 1. **Trend Identification** - Green line suggests riding bullish trends - Red line suggests riding bearish trends - Black line suggests ranging or weak trend conditions
2. **Entry Signals** - Color changes from black to green: Potential bullish entry - Color changes from black to red: Potential bearish entry
