Updated ADX + MA (BcK)
ADX + MA (BcK) overlays a configurable moving average on the ADX line to help you read trend strength more clearly and spot shifts in momentum.
1- What it shows
ADX (red): trend strength (higher = stronger trend, lower = weaker / ranging conditions)
ADX MA (blue): smoothing of ADX using your chosen MA type and length to reduce noise and highlight changes in trend strength
2- Inputs
DI Length: length used to compute +DI/−DI
ADX Smoothing: smoothing length for ADX (Wilder-style smoothing as per standard DMI/ADX)
MA Length: period of the moving average applied to ADX
MA Type: choose between SMA, EMA, RMA (Wilder), or WMA
3- How to use
When ADX is above its MA, trend strength is generally improving.
When ADX drops below its MA, trend strength is generally weakening.
Use it alongside your preferred direction tool (+DI/−DI, price structure, or other filters). This indicator focuses on strength, not direction.
*Note: This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals by itself and is best used as a trend-strength filter.*
