Average Directional Index (ADX)

unRekt - KISS AddieKISS Addie is the ADX and DI+- indicator and is part of the 'keeping it simple' series. ADX is your Average Directional Index and DI is you Directional Movement Indicator. ADX - Will show the strength of the trend regardless of direction. 00 - 10 : No trend 10 - 20 : Transitioning trend 20 - 40 : Trending 40 - 99 : Exhausted (Can also be considered a stronger trend the higher it goes, but look to exit position once it begins to downward slope and pay attention to DI spread) DI - Will show the direction of movement. This indicator includes two views of the DI. the DI+ and DI- crossover and a histogram of the spread between the two. Bullish : Green crosses over red. Bearish : Red crosses over green.

Estrategia de Monitor - RSI/EMAThis indicator, competes the signals of two of the most important and reliable indicators for monitoring price trends, the Squeeze Monitor and the RSI. For a better visualization of the relationship of the indicators with the price, the Squeeze Monitor is presented in colored bars that represent the trend of the indicator. The RSI is combined with the EMA of the RSI that supports its directionality. As additional support for decision making, the ADX is also plotted, as an element to project the force of the next movement. The indicator settings are presented in the configuration of the indicator. The following parameters can be adjusted there: ** Monitor Parameters ** Monitor Length Squeeze -> "Long. Monitor" ** ADX parameters ** ADX Longitug -> "Long. ADX" ADX Smoother -> "Suavizador ADX" ADX Variation Factor -> "Factor Var. ADX"                      This parameter defines the minimum variation for the                      ADX address highlighting ** RSI parameters ** RSI Length -> "Long. RSI" RSI Smoothing -> "Suavizador RSI" RSI EMA Length -> "Long. EMA del RSI" Finally, the Script consolidates the information, based on the trends of the indicators, and changes the color of the candle body. The color code considers Green for the uptrend, Red for the Downtrend and Yellow in transition processes (not operable).

Directional Movement Index TrendThis DMI I modified to see the trend more clearly, and the ADX line changes according to the trend force, which is perfectly configurable, the configuration I left my default configuration, in case you want to modify it because you see the trend in different values, feel free, and basically the columns are the average of DI and also indicate the trend more clearly. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Esse DMI eu modifiquei para ver a tendência com maior clareza, e a linha do ADX ela muda de acordo com a força de tendência, a qual é perfeitamente configurável, a configuração eu deixei a minha configuração padrão, caso você queira modificar porque você vê a tendência em valores diferentes, sinta-se livre, e basicamente as colunas são a média de DI e indicam também com mais clareza a tendência.

[PX] ADX BoxesHello guys, today I would like to share an indicator that I had in my mind for quite some time. I call it ADX Boxes. How does it work? What the indicator does is very simple. Whenever the ADX falls below a certain threshold (which can be managed in the user input settings) a box will appear. The box will continue to grow as long as the ADX stays below the threshold. Once the ADX goes back above the threshold, the box will stop growing and will set its right border. There are two modes, which can be used to determine the upper and lower border of the box. The first one is called "Extremes", which plots the borders the highest high and lowest low for the range below the threshold. The second one is called "Avg. High/Low", which plots the borders at the average high and average low within the range. Furthermore, the indicator contains an option to show the average value of the detected range below the ADX threshold. Just like all my other indicator scripts, this one comes with different styling options for boxes in progress, settled boxes and the average value. Hopefully, some of you find it useful. Make sure you leave a follow and a like :) Happy trading!!

RedK_Directional Index / K xDMIHere's a modern take on the famous DMI/ADX. i first wrote this on another platform few years ago, so i'm happy to be able to share it on TradingView quick refresher: what does DMI/ADX tell us: ------------------------------------------------------ in simple terms, at the core of this indicator, there are 3 main calculations / lines: the Plus Directional Index ( +DI ) which represents how much the bulls are able to push the high of a bar compared to previous one, the Minus Directional Index ( -DI ), showing how much the bears are able to push the low of a bar from previous one, then the Average Directional index ( ADX ) line, which creates an oscillator of the +DI and -DI to represent the strength of a trend -- usually the lines will be colored accordingly (bulls = green, bears = red, and any different color for the ADX ) Similar to my version of the RSI , we take a classic concept, then use the computing and visualization "super powers" available to us today, to extend and improve on what those masters created in the past. I guess they sort of expected us to do exactly that :) this "extended" version of DMI/ADX provides couple of highly needed features (in my opinion) -- let's explore: trying as much as possible to avoid jargon - pls forgive me if i failed in some places. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - the big change: the ability to visualize the ADX in a way that makes some more sense. - the original calculation restricted the ADX to oscillate below zero - i'm sure they had a good reason to build it that way in the past - but to me, it becomes super hard to interpret what the ADX line means, especially when a negative trend (the bears) take over. by removing that restriction and allowing the ADX to oscillate up or down (and we're free to do that, so the indicator shows *us* what *we need* to see), we end up with an improved representation of the trend and the trend strength. - also the original calculation applies a moving average (default 14 bars) of a moving average (another 14 of the Directional Indexes, which represent the strength of bulls vs bears) to calculate the ADX - that makes the ADX very "removed" from the base price values - i change that, and just smooth the initial +Di / -Di then calculate the ADX from there. again, this shows me the outcome of the (relatively) immediate moves. 2 - i use weighted average WMA () in all my averaging calculations .. i believe this type of average is the best to express the importance of recent days / bars vs the ones further in the past, compared to other averaging techniques 3 - ability to make the DMI volume-weighted .. but contrary to my RSI , this is not set by default. 4 - couple of options to view the unrestricted ADX (as an area or as histogram/columns .. which i call Vertical Bars) for improved visualization other stuff: 5 - a "step" option for the ADX .. you can set the step option to an increment of, say 5 or 10. this is in case you prefer to see the trend more in "quality" terms - so the equivalent of weak, medium, strong, v. strong...etc -- since in reality, a number like 47.7683 doesn't really mean anything specific 6 - optional "strong trend" adjustable level Settings & usage suggestion: ----------------------------------- i prefer to use the defaults (length = 7, smoothing = 3, ..etc) -- i believe these are more suitable to the much faster trading that we have now. you can review the comparison chart and see if this works for you, and adjust as you need. from a "signal" standpoint, you can use the xDMI as you use the classic DMI/ADX, bulls (or bears) are in control when the corresponding DI line crosses the other going up, *AND* moving above the "strong trend" level that you can set as an extra filter (usually a value between 20 to 30), while ADX will show the quality/strength of the trend. i suggest you also utilize this indicator with other trend / momentum confirmation methods, and additional analysis and not in isolation - as well as inspecting the prevailing / longer time frame to ensure you're acting in the direction of the broader move / trend. the above chart includes a side-by-side comparison between our new xDMI with the classic DMI/ADX using the same settings - then we add at the bottom panel also the xDMI, but with my default (faster) settings and showing other visualization options that can be utilized - the Moving Averages on the top / price panel is just to help put the price movement into perspective in terms of trend and trend strength. The code is open and commented - please feel free to use, share, comment & provide feedback. if you're a DMI fan, and you find this useful in your trading, i would be more than happy to hear about it Good luck!

Ultimate Momentum IndicatorThis is an indicator I've been playing with for a while, based on my previous MACD w/ RSI Warning indicator. This one takes it a step further, including information from MACD, RSI, ADX, and Parabolic SAR. These four indicators are represented in this indicator as follows: MACD: The histogram itself is a normal MACD histogram. Nothing strange about it, and you can adjust the settings for it just as you would a normal MACD. RSI: Any time the RSI is outside of normal ranges (which can be adjusted in the settings), the bar on the histogram will turn amber to warn you. The actual RSI value is also shown in a label to the left side of the indicator. ADX: Crosses are drawn along the 0 line to indicate ADX. Blue means the ADX is below the trending level (adjustable in the settings), and orange means it is above that level. Darker colors indicate the ADX has gone up since the previous bar, while lighter colors indicate it has gone down. The actual ADX value is also shown in the label to the left side of the indicator. Parabolic SAR: At the outside point of each bar in the histogram, a colored dot is drawn. If the dot is green, the Parabolic SAR (settings adjustable) is currently below the closing price. If the dot is red, the SAR is above the closing price. I must stress that this indicator is not a replacement for any one of the indicators it includes, as it's really only pulling small bits of information from each. The point of this indicator is to give a cohesive picture of momentum at a quick glance. I encourage you to continue to use the normal versions of whichever of the basic indicators you already use, especially if those indicators are a key part of your strategy. This indicator is designed purely as a way to get a bird's eye view of the momentum. Pretty much every normally adjustable value can be adjusted in the settings for each of the base indicators. You can also set: The RSI warning levels (30 and 70 by default) The ADX Crossover, i.e. the point at which you consider the ADX value to indicate a strong trend (25 by default) The offset for the label which shows the actual RSI & ADX values (109 by default, which happens to line up with my chart layout--yours will almost certainly need to be different to look clean) All of the colors, naturally As always, I am open to suggestions on how I might make the indicator look cleaner, or even other indicators I might try to include in the data this indicator produces. My choice of indicators to base this one from is entirely based on the ones I use and know, but I'm sure there are other great indicators that may improve this combination indicator even more!

[PX] ADX and DI v4Hey guys, I recently used the "ADX and DI" indicator in a variety of my own scripts. Because I keep on developing version 4 scripts and the "ADX and DI" indicator is developed in one of the previous PineScript versions, I had to update the old script every time I wanted to use it. I decided to publish the updated version and also changed a few things: - ADX color is now orange - Instead of plotting the DI+ and DI- lines, it's filling the space between the two (can be changed in the "style"-section) Maybe some of you find it useful. If so, leave a like or follow :) Happy trading, paaax P.S: The original indicator was developed by the user @MasaNakamura. Thanks for your great work!

(JS)DMI BarsAlright - so this is my own version of John Carter's "10x Bars"... I have done multiple things that are different from his version so they are slightly different.. So first of all the main indicator is based off of the ADX and the DMI; For those who aren't familiar with it, Directional Movement is what you'd pull up under "built-in's" from the indicators tab (if you want to check it out). The standard interpretation of this however, is when the ADX is above 20 that suggests the trend is strong, whereas under 20 suggests it is weak. Also, when the D+ is above the D- that suggests a bullish trend, and D- above D+ suggests a bearish trend. These bars take away the need to have it at the bottom of your screen, and places the data on the bars on your chart instead. ========================================================================================================================================= So here's what the colors stand for - Yellow - The ADX is under 20, no strength in trend Shades of green occur when the ADX is above 20 and there's a bullish trend (D+ higher than D-) Bright Green (Lime) - Bullish trend, D+ above 30 Green - Bullish Trend Yellow Green - Bullish trend, D+ below 15 Shades of red occur when the ADX is above 20 and there's a bearish trend (D- higher than D+) Bright Red - Bearish trend, D- above 30 Red - Bearish Trend Orange - Bearish trend, D- below 15 ========================================================================================================================================= I have also added multiple time frame labels (label script used is the one created by Ricardo Santos) These labels are color coded the same as the bars/candles, and they appear off to the right of your screen using every built in time increment from TradingView. The purpose is to show you in real time, and on any chart resolution, what the current trend is on every individual time frame. So using just one single chart you'll see your current resolutions candles, but also on the labels you'll see: 1 Minute 3 Minute 5 Minute 15 Minute 30 Minute 45 Minute 1 Hour 2 Hour 3 Hour 4 Hour Daily Weekly Monthly There is an input I added that allows you to adjust where your labels appear on the side of your screen as well! ========================================================================================================================================= Now onto the volume spike portion of the indicator. This will plot a blue dot under each bar that has a spike in volume which meets your specified criteria. I have 500% as the default setting. What that means is that this indicator looks back and gets the 50 bar volume average and then applies dots where volume is 500% above average. ========================================================================================================================================= Now finally, the reversal arrows. This is another simple to understand concept that I first read in John Carter's book "Mastering the Trade" that he calls "HOLP/LOHP". I have added the ability to change the look back period you'd like the indicator to watch for highs and lows on. What that stands for is 'High of Low Period' and 'Low of High Period', and it is used like this- Whenever a bar makes a new high the indicator watches the low on that highest bar. Then when a bar afterwards makes a lower low then the one on the high bar, a reversal arrow is given. Apply this same concept in the other direction in for the highs on the lowest bars. ========================================================================================================================================= Now, I didn't want to make a "set" or have a bunch of different indicators out there that are all intended for the same package, so I took the time to put them together, and if there's a part of it you don't care for they can easily be turned off in the settings. Enjoy!

RSX-D [ID: AC-P]The "AC-P" version of Jaggedsoft's RSX Divergence and Everget's RSX script is my personal customized version of RSX with the following additions and modifications: LSMA-D line that averages in three LSMA components to form a composite, the LSMA-D line. Offset for the LSMA-D line is set to -2 to offset latency from averaging togther the LSMA components to form a composite - recommended to adjust to your timeframe and asset/pair accordingly. Divergence component from JustUncle, RicardoSantos, and Neobutane divergence scripts Crossover indication and alerts for Midline, and custom M1 and M2 levels for both RSX and the LSMA-D line from Daveatt's CCI Stochastic Script EMA21/55 zone cross highlighting option SMA9/EMA45 MA option from my RSI sma/ema Cu script Libertus Divergences and Pivot labels from Jaggedsoft's RSX Divergence script are hidden/off by default Designed for darkmode by default. Minor visual changes from Jaggedsoft's and Everget's script(s) for darkmode and visual aesthetic. Please Note: Divergences that use fractal-based detection logic, offset, or a combination of both generally have a 1-2 bar/candle lag. This is an INHERENT limitation of divergence detection with fractals and offsets. Divergences generally will have a higher strikerate on HTF than LTF due to the 1-2 bar lag. While I'm not going to rule out a programming solution or math construct/formula that attempts to alleivates the 1-2 bar lag for divergences, this script is not it - please keep that in mind when using divergence components with a fractal base and offset. LSMA-D is a composite of three LSMA lines, all with offset options. Different lengths and Offset values can compensate/adjust for the smoothing/latency from RSX, but only up to a certain point. For each LSMA, the least square regression line is calculated for the previous time periods, so the idea is that with finely tuned adjustments, you can get crossover/crossunder signals from the RSX with the LSMA-D line that you simply can't get with the SMA9/EMA45 due to the already smoothed RSX. The defaults for the RSX and various components for the LSMA-D here will MOSTLY LIKELY NOT WORK OR BE APPLICABLE to every timeframe and asset that you trade - adjust, backtest, and test accordingly. The defaults are here are MEANT to be adjusted to the asset class and timeframe that you are trading. If you're not familiar with the LSMA, tradingview author Alexgrover has a few great scripts that go into detail how the LSMA works, in addition to different interpretations and implementations of the LSMA.

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.
