ADX Technical Analysis and ADX Forex Trading Signals

The Average Directional Movement Index is a momentum indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder.

This indicator is used to measure the strength of market trends on a scale of 0 - 100; the higher the value the stronger the current Forex trend. It should be noted that while the direction of price is important to the ADX calculation, the ADX itself is not a directional indicator. Indicator values above 30 indicate a very strong trending market, while values below 20 indicate non-trending or ranging market.

Traders typically use the average directional movement index as a filter along with other indicators to create a more concrete trading methodology.

Many traders view levels turning up from below 20 as an early signal of a new emerging Forex trend while declining levels turning down from above 30 as deterioration of the current market trend.

Wilder suggests using the ADX as part of a system that includes the +DI and -DI lines. Most Forex platforms integrate the original average directional movement index with the +DI and -DI indicators (DMI Index) and collectively refer to the whole system as the ADX.

In the example below:

ADX is the light green line

+DI is the blue line(bullish line)

- DI is the red line(bearish line)

• Bullish Trend - when the +DI, blue line is above the -DI, red line
• Bearish Trend - when the -DI, red line is above the +DI, blue line

Bullish Signal

A bullish signal is generated when the +DI line is above the -DI line, when the blue line is above the red line.

To identify a strong bullish signal we wait until the indicator values above 20, and the blue line is above the red line. This is a bullish Forex signal because the DMI system identifies the signal as a buy, while levels above 20 shows there is a strong upward Forex trend.

Bearish Signal

A bearish signal is generated when the red line is above the blue line i.e. The -DI line is above the +DI line. A strong short signal will be generated when this bearish signal is accompanied by an ADX value of above 20.
