ADX with SignalsThis indicator basicly usind ADX ( Average Directional Index )
ADX can show us how trend is strong
ADX below 20: the market is currently not trending
ADX crosses above 20: signifies that a new trend is emerging. Traders may start placing sell or buy orders in the direction of the price movement.
ADX between 20 and 40: When the ADX is growing between 20 and 40 it is considered as a confirmation of an emerging trend. Traders should use this opportunity to buy or short sell in the trend's direction.
ADX above 40: the trend is very strong.
ADX crosses 50: the trend is extremely strong.
ADX crosses 70: a very rare occasion, which is called a “Power Trend.”
If we use ADX with DI+ and DI+ indactor can tell us to buy.
How can we calculate this all?
Directional Movement (DI) is defined as the largest part of the current period’s price range that lies outside the previous period’s price range. For each period calculate:
+DI = positive or plus DI = High - Previous High
-DI = negative or minus DI = Previous Low - Low
The smaller of the two values is reset to zero, i.e., if +DI > -DI , then -DI = 0. On an inside bar (a lower high and higher low), both +DI and -DI are negative values, so both get reset to zero as there was no directional movement for that period.
The True Range ( TR ) is calculated for each period, where:
TR = Max of ( High - Low ), ( High -PreviousClose ), ( PreviousClose - Low )
The +DI , -DI and TR are each accumulated and smoothed using a custom smoothing method proposed by Wilder. For an n period smoothing, 1/n of each period’s value is added to the total each period, similar to an exponential smoothing:
+DIt = (+DIt-1 - (+DIt-1 / n)) + (+DIt)
-DIt = (-DIt-1 - (-DIt-1 / n)) + (-DIt)
TRt = (TRt-1 - (TRt-1 / n)) + ( TRt )
Compute the positive/negative Directional Indexes, +DI and -DI , as a percentage of the True Range:
+DI = ( +DI / TR ) * 100
-DI = ( -DI / TR ) * 100
Compute the Directional Difference as the absolute value of the differences: DIdiff = | (( +DI ) - ( -DI )) |
Sum the directional indicator values: DIsum = (( +DI ) + ( -DI )) .
Calculate the Directional Movement index: DX = ( DIdiff / DIsum ) * 100 . The DX is always between 0 and 100.
Finally, apply Wilder’s smoothing technique to produce the final ADX value:
ADXt = ( ( ADXt-1 * ( n - 1) ) + DXt ) / n
When indicator tell us to buy?
If when DI+ crosses DI- and ADX is bigger than DI- indicator tell us to buy.

ADX + CCI + MA - Uncle SamStrategy Name: ADX + CCI + MA - Uncle Sam
Overview
This strategy aims to capitalize on trending markets by combining the Average Directional Index (ADX), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and a customizable Moving Average (MA). It's designed for traders seeking a balanced approach to both long (buy) and short (sell) opportunities. Special thanks to the creators of the ADX and CCI indicators for their invaluable contributions to technical analysis.
Strategy Concept
The core idea is to identify strong trends with the ADX, confirm potential entry points with the CCI, and use the MA to filter trades in the direction of the broader trend. This approach seeks to avoid entering positions during periods of consolidation or when the trend is weak.
Indicator Logic
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX measures the strength of a trend, regardless of its direction. A value above the customizable adx_threshold (default 20) signals a strong trend, making it a prime environment for this strategy.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index): The CCI is a momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) conditions. We use CCI crossovers to time entries in the direction of the prevailing trend.
MA (Moving Average): The MA acts as a trend filter, ensuring we only enter trades aligned with the overall market direction. You have flexibility in choosing the MA type (SMA, EMA, etc.) and its length to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Entry Conditions
Long (Buy):
ADX is above the adx_threshold.
CCI crosses above 100.
Price is above the chosen Moving Average (if MA trend filtering is enabled).
Short (Sell):
ADX is above the adx_threshold.
CCI crosses below -100.
Price is below the chosen Moving Average (if MA trend filtering is enabled).
Exit Conditions
Stop Loss (SL): Each position has a customizable stop-loss percentage to manage risk. The default setting is 1%.
Take Profit (TP): Each position has a customizable take-profit percentage to secure gains. The default setting is 5%.
MA-Based Risk Management (Optional): This feature allows for early exits if the price closes against the MA trend for a specified number of candles. The default setting is 2 candles.
Default Settings
CCI Period: 15
ADX Length: 10
ADX Threshold: 20
MA Type: HMA
MA Length: 200
MA Source: Close
Commission Fee: $0.0
A commission fee is not added, add your trading/platform commission for realistic trading costs.
Backtest Results
The strategy has been backtested on with the default settings and a starting capital of $1000, with 0.0% commission fee. It shows promising results.
Disclaimer: Backtesting is hypothetical and does not guarantee future performance.
Important Considerations:
Customization: The strategy offers extensive customization to tailor it to your preferences. Experiment with different parameters and settings to find what works best for your trading style.
Risk Management: Always use proper risk management techniques, including position sizing and stop losses, to protect your capital.
ADX and DI (Colored Candles Open-Source)The "ADX and DI (Colored Candles Open-Source)" indicator is a technical analysis tool used in trading. It utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the Directional Movement Indicators (+DI and -DI) to assess the strength and direction of a price trend. The ADX is calculated based on a 14-period lookback and is displayed as a histogram.
The color of the ADX histogram varies depending on the ADX value and the relative positions of +DI and -DI. Green and purple colors represent bullish and bearish trends respectively, with variations in shades indicating trend strength. Yellow and red colors indicate potential trend exhaustion for bullish and bearish trends, respectively, when ADX is above 50. Gray color is used when ADX is below 10, indicating a neutral trend.
Additionally, the script plots +DI and -DI lines with a fill between them to visually represent their crossover. Horizontal dotted lines are drawn at key ADX levels (0, 10, 25, 50) for reference. The candles on the chart are also colored to match the ADX histogram, providing a clear visual representation of the market trend.
ADX Color Coded BarI use the Average Directional Index quite a lot in my trading both manual and automatic trading so i thought i would make it a little easier for myself and others to see if the ADX is above or below a certain value and to allow space on the chart for other indicators. This is done by plotting a green and red bar, green when the ADX is above a certain value and red when the ADX is below it.
Trading in the direction of a strong trend reduces risk and increases profit potential. The ADX is used to determine when the price is trending strongly. In many cases, it is the ultimate trend indicator. After all, the trend is your friend. ADX is usually plotted as a single line with values ranging from a low of zero to a high of 100. ADX is non-directional and registers trend strength whether price is trending up or down.
When the value of the ADX is going up above 20 which is the threshold i like to use, it means that there is more likely to be a confident move. So if you get an entry signal when the ADX bar is red the price is more likely to be in an area of consolidation where fakeouts could happen. It might be a good idea to stay away from entering trades here or remember to take some profits early and set the stop loss to break even.
Keep in mind that the ADX is a lagging indicator and not leading.

ADX Breakout Strategy█ OVERVIEW
The ADX Breakout strategy leverages the Average Directional Index (ADX) to identify and execute breakout trades within specified trading sessions. Designed for the NQ and ES 30-minute charts, this strategy aims to capture significant price movements while managing risk through predefined stop losses and trade limits.
This strategy was taken from a strategy that was posted on YouTube. I would link the video, but I believe is is "against house rules".
█ CONCEPTS
The strategy is built upon the following key concepts:
ADX Indicator: Utilizes the ADX to gauge the strength of a trend. Trades are initiated when the ADX value is below a certain threshold, indicating potential for trend development.
Trade Session Management: Limits trading to specific hours to align with optimal market activity periods.
Risk Management: Implements a fixed dollar stop loss and restricts the number of trades per session to control exposure.
█ FEATURES
Customizable Stop Loss: Set your preferred stop loss amount to manage risk effectively.
Trade Session Configuration: Define the trading hours to focus on the most active market periods.
Entry Conditions: Enter long positions when the price breaks above the highest close in the lookback window and the ADX indicates potential trend strength.
Trade Limits: Restrict the number of trades per session to maintain disciplined trading.
Automated Exit: Automatically closes all positions at the end of the trading session to avoid overnight risk.
█ HOW TO USE
Configure Inputs :
Stop Loss ($): Set the maximum loss per trade.
Trade Session: Define the active trading hours.
Highest Lookback Window: Specify the number of bars to consider for the highest close.
Apply the Strategy :
Add the ADX Breakout strategy to your chart on TradingView.
Ensure you are using a 30-minute timeframe for optimal performance.
█ LIMITATIONS
Market Conditions: The strategy is optimized for trending markets and may underperform in sideways or highly volatile conditions.
Timeframe Specific: Designed specifically for 30-minute charts; performance may vary on different timeframes.
Single Asset Focus: Primarily tested on NQ and ES instruments; effectiveness on other symbols is not guaranteed.
█ DISCLAIMER
This ADX Breakout strategy is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice and should not be construed as such. Trading involves significant risk, and you may incur substantial losses. Always perform your own analysis and consider your financial situation before using this or any other trading strategy.

ADX with Color like MACD HistogramThis is a usual ADX Indicator but the colors change when the next bar falls or grows from the previous bar.
I think that the use of ADX can be maximized by seeing whether the movement is lower or higher than the previous like MACD Histogram.
The ADX indicator is very powerful for driving long-term trends and is effectively used for 4-hour or 1-hour Time Frames.
When ADX is above level 20, the color of the Bar will be blue or light blue. The blue bar means that the bar is higher than the previous bar. The light blue bar means the bar is lower than the previous one.
When ADX is below level 20, the color of the bar will be dark gray or light gray. The dark gray bar means that the bar is lower than the previous bar. The light gray bar means the bar is higher than the previous bar.
When the bar turns blue that's when we can add shares to our winning position.
When the price is above level 40, the background of the bars will be red, indicating that the price is in a very strong trend and will run out of its thrust soon. That's when we get ready to take profit, which is when the ADX Bar which is blue turns light blue.
-
FYI, I use ADX just for adding the shares to my winning position and exiting the market. I don't wait for ADX turns blue to enter the market.
ADX CandleCandles colors based on ADX and DI strength.
How to read:
ADX is less then 20 (adjustable value) is SILVER (no trend)
ADX >0 and DI delta (DI plus - DI minus) is >0 color LIME (trend up)
ADX>0 and DI delta <0 color RED (trend down)
ADX cross ADX Index ( adx+adx 14 period back)/2 color is BLACK and means start/end trend
ADX DI EMA Clouds
EMA clouds colored by DI and ADX indicator:
9 EMA and 21 EMA Cloud turns green in a bull trend and red when in a bull trend...if the trend is half bulll and half bear..the clouds turn white.
I also coded if the momentum in increasing (yellow) or if the momentum is decreasing (blue) or if the momentum is flat (white).
The Clouds are colored based off the Di (+/-)
9 EMA is colored based of ADX momentum strength
ADX:
ADX is used to quantify trend strength. ADX calculations are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a given period of time. The default setting is 14 bars, although other time periods can be used.1
ADX can be used on any trading vehicle such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and futures .
DI (+/-):
The directional movement index (DMI) is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 that identifies in which direction the price of an asset is moving. The indicator does this by comparing prior highs and lows and drawing two lines: a positive directional movement line ( +DI ) and a negative directional movement line ( -DI ). An optional third line, called the average directional index ( ADX ), can also be used to gauge the strength of the uptrend or downtrend.
This indicator has the length changed from 14 to 9 so you can have more updated price calculation
I also add the 4 levels I use for day trading; the 10, 20, 30, 40-50 are the levels I like to see the Di to break over.
A lot of traders use different levels, but these I have and found most useful. You can set alerts when any Di crosses over the 40 for true trend breakout!

ADX Oscillator @shrilssThis Indicator calculates the Average Directional Index (ADX), a popular indicator used to quantify the strength of a trend. Additionally, it computes the Positive Directional Index (+DI) and Negative Directional Index (-DI), which measure the strength of upward and downward price movements respectively.
What sets this script apart is its enhanced ADX calculations. It incorporates Moving Averages (MAs) of the +DI and -DI to offer a smoother representation of trend direction. By averaging these directional indices over a specified period, it aims to filter out noise and provide clearer signals of trend strength.
Traders have the flexibility to visualize the traditional ADX alongside the enhanced ADX oscillator. The script also highlights potential buying and selling opportunities based on crossover events between the directional indices and the ADX, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points.
With customizable parameters such as the length of the Directional Movement (DM), ADX, and MA periods, this script empowers traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
ADX Trend Confirmer [Honestcowboy]The ADX Trend Confirmer aims to give traders or algorithms a way to confirm a trend before entering a trade.
While the default for ADX is a smoothing factor of 14 and a length of 14 to measure directional strength. In my experience this is a lagging indicator and not the best for confirming if the market is trending.
🟢 What are the methods used for confirming trend in this indicator?
ADX above x number : By default we use an ADX length of 3 and it's value needs to be above 50.
ADX sloping up ? This will check if the ADX value is higher than that of previous bar, this to confirm that trend is getting momentum and not slowing down.
close>open / close<open : This is to check in which direction the trend is going.
Mid Point : We use a mid-point between highest high and lowest low in a given period by default of 3 bars. Price needs to close above/below this point to confirm direction. We use previous bar mid-point so there is no repainting of the line.
Min bar ratio: How many percent of the bar is the body? A high amount of wicks but not a lot of body can mean indecision (no trend). This to ensure entries are only after a convincing bar.
🟢 Extra Info:
Thanks to ZenAndTheArtOfTrading for publishing ZenLibrary which we use in this script.
This is not a strategy on it's own but a building block to add to your analysis.

ADX of VortexHow to Trade
> Rising ADX of Vortex from 10 to 15 is trend building area to be noticed.
> If ADX of Vortex is falling but above 10 and below 15 avoid trade in such case because even if signal is generated by cross over of Vi-Plus and VI-Minus it may not give good profit.
> Once the position is taken and Price is steady but ADX of Vortex is falling then keep eye on cross over of Vi-Plus and VI-Minus to exit from trade.
> ADX rising above 15 is strong trending signal.
Trend Monster HeadquartersADX-DMI enhanced & modified for faster reaction
ADX (black line) above 80 = mega-trend peaked, reversal imminent, rare case scenario
ADX (black line) above 60 = trend topping out, reversal possible, depending on other indicators
ADX (black line) above 25 threshold = trend strenghening
DMI- (red line) - above 25 - bear trend strenghening
DMI+ (green line) - above 25 - bull trend strenghening
DMI- (red line) - coming off the bottom - bull trend weakening
DMI+ (green line) - coming off the bottom - bear trend weakening
ADX & DI trend exhaustionAn EMA is applied to the ADX in order to catch the exhaustion of a trend (i.e. ADX line crossunder EMAADX line) or the possible formation of a new one. In the first case, we would wait a confirmation signal, which happens when the crossunder has a value greater then 50. A new trend is created when the difference between the ADX and the EMAADX is positive, with ADX greater then 20. As confirmation, we would have the DI+ greater then 20 e the DI- smaller then 20 (this would trigger a bullish sentiment, bearish for the opposite), consequently the histogram will be display in green (red in the bearish case).

Best time frame is daily followed by 4H
ADX Near 20 or less means trend is choppy and weak
ADX Cross over 30 means trend is starting to gain momentum
ADX Near 75 means momentum is near maximum, trend needs to rest for a while ( The area between 70~90 )
ADX GapperBased on the ADX Gapper strategy described in the book Street Smarts, it looks to exploit retracement to a prevailing trend when there has been a gap away from the trend, giving you multiple potential entries. It uses the ADX to determine a trend and detects when there is a gap to signal an entry day where:
You would enter short if the DI-(red line) > DI+ (green line), ADX (blue area) > 30 indicating a strong trend and if there is a gap up from the previous day. If all the described conditions are met then you would place a short stop at the previous day highs and trail a stop until the end of the day. This strategy is meant to give you trades to hold for 1 day (the day you enter) or 2 days if you consider you should hold it overnight.
