About
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is a technical indicator used to measure the strength of a trend, regardless of whether it's an uptrend or downtrend. It combines the positive directional indicator (+DI) and negative directional indicator (-DI) to help traders determine trend strength and potential trading opportunities. ADX values above 25 typically indicate a strong trend, while values below 20 suggest a weak or non-trending market.
