What is Auto ADX?
Auto ADX plots the Average Directional Index in its own window between 0 and 100, recolouring the ADX line by trend direction: lime in an up-trend, red in a down-trend, grey where a trend has ended. The +DI and −DI lines move with it, and the indicator marks the crossover points between them with signal arrows.
On the chart
Trend-strength line
The ADX line sits in its own sub-window between 0 and 100 and recolours by the current trend.
+DI and −DI lines
The two directional lines move with price and adopt the same trend colouring.
Dotted trend threshold
A reference level marks where ADX is considered a meaningful trend (the default is 25).
DI crossover arrows
An arrow marks each crossing of the +DI and −DI lines, a classic trend signal.
Threshold arrows
A second arrow set marks when ADX crosses above or below the trend threshold.
Educational example
The indicator marks trend shifts, with entry and exit points shown as examples of how a trader may use the signal within their own strategy. It is not investment advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument.
The dashboard
Always know it is working
A compact status indicator keeps you informed of the indicator's state at a glance, so you never wonder whether it is live.
The panel stays out of the way
A floating button hides and shows the dashboard on your chart, so it clears the view when you want the candles alone.
Min / max, not fixed values
Every input adjusts between a minimum and a maximum rather than a single fixed value, so the indicator can adapt while staying within your bounds.
The readout you asked for
The dashboard shows the ADX type, the selected period and the current ADX reading, so trend strength is visible as a number at a glance.
Adjustable inputs
| Input | Range |
|---|---|
| Period | 8 – 30 |
Signal modes
The defaults are ready to go. These ranges just bound how far the indicator can adapt on the chart in front of it.
Questions
Higher values mean a stronger trend; lower values mean a quieter, ranging market. Auto ADX shows the current reading in its dashboard and recolours the line by direction.
