What Is ADX
J. Welles Wilder Jr., the developer of well-known indicators such as RSI, ATR, and Parabolic SAR, believed that the Directional Movement System, which is partially implemented in ADX indicator, was his most satisfying achievement. In his 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems, He said:
I have probably spent more time studying directional movement than any other concept. Certainly one of my most satisfying achievements was the day I was actually able to reduce this concept to an absolute mathematical equation.
The core idea of this indicator is to record directional movements whenever there is a higher high or lower low. The indicator then calculates the smoothed moving average of these directional movements to determine the Directional Indexes (DIs), which are represented as DI+ and DI- lines within the ADX indicator (or as cloud in this version). The Average Directional Index (ADX) line is derived by dividing the difference between the DIs by their sum total.
Five rules for trading with Directional Movement System:
- When DI lines cross each other (equilibrium points in the indicator), it’s time to enter a position in the direction of their cross (green point for long position, red point for short position), but after checking other things (rules 2 & 3).
- When you observe an equilibrium point (EP) in the indicator, the high/low price of that candle becomes your extreme point (high in case of a green EP, and low in case of a red EP). Closing above the extreme point after green EP (and below extreme point after red EP) signals entry into a position in the direction of the EP, but it would be better to check other things (rule 3).
- (a) Do not trade when ADX line is below the cloud; (b) Do not trade when ADXR line is below the level (20, by default); (c) Do not trade when ADX line is moving downward. Because these are the three signs of the range market.
- Take profit when the color of the ADX line changes from blue to orange; this is probably a point of reversal. You may consider re-entering in the direction of your previous position if the ADX line color changes back to blue and remains above the cloud.
- Exit your current position when the ADX line dips below the cloud, and await another signal before considering re-entry.
I would be grateful if you let me know about any bugs or any suggestion to improve the code.
