ADX DMI Squeeze
Overview
This indicator combines:
ADX / DMI → Measures trend strength and direction
ADX Squeeze Histogram → Shows when the trend is accelerating or “squeezing” for a breakout
Triangles → Highlight potential expansion points
Optional DI+ / DI− lines → Show bullish/bearish dominance
ADX Threshold Lines (15 / 20) → Help filter weak trends
Early ADX Acceleration Dots → Provide an early heads-up before a squeeze fires
It can be used standalone or alongside other trend tools like VWAP for better entry timing.
Entry Guidelines
Long Trades (Buy):
Histogram above 0
Green triangle appears
ADX rising or above threshold (15/20 recommended)
Optional: DI+ > DI− confirms bullish strength
Short Trades (Sell):
Histogram above 0
Red triangle appears
ADX rising or above threshold (15/20 recommended)
Optional: DI− > DI+ confirms bearish strength
Avoid trades if:
Histogram negative
Triangles appear but ADX below threshold or trend not confirmed by DI linesOptional Filters
Require ADX acceleration: Only shows signals when ADX is increasing → avoids late or false entries
VWAP Bias: Session-anchored institutional positioning (best for open & intraday scalps).
MA Bias: Time-based trend direction (best for continuation & trend days).
Tips
Best on 30-min or higher timeframes for swing/short-term trend trades
Can be combined with VWAP Moving averages , support/resistance, or Bollinger Bands
Use DI lines toggle if you want extra visual trend confirmation
Adjust DMI length (sensitivity) and ADX smoothing for your preferred timeframe
Interpretation
Histogram turning green above 0 + triangle → strong bullish move forming
Histogram turning red above 0 + triangle → strong bearish move forming
ADX above 20 → strong trend, more reliable
ADX below 15 → weak trend, signals less reliable
In short:
Long = Green bars above 0 + Green triangle Short = Red bars above 0 + Red triangle Confirm with ADX above threshold and optionally DI lines
