TASC 2024.12 Dynamic ADX Histogram█ OVERVIEW
This script introduces a new version of the ADX oscillator, designed by Neil Jon Harrington and featured in the "Revisualizing The ADX Oscillator" article from the December 2024 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips .
█ CONCEPTS
The directional movement index (DMI+ and DMI−) and average directional index (ADX) indicators have long been popular with technical analysts. Developed by J. Welles Wilder in the 1970s, these indicators provide information about the direction and strength of price movements across bars. The DMI+ measures positive price movement, the DMI- measures negative price movement, and the ADX gauges the average strength of price trends. Although these indicators can provide helpful insights into price action and momentum, Neil Jon Harrington argues they are often misunderstood or misapplied.
Harrington's indicator, the Dynamic ADX Histogram (DADX), applies directional information to the ADX based on DMI+ and DMI- values to create a single oscillator centered around 0. The indicator displays the oscillator as a histogram with dynamic colors based on ADX movements and user-defined strength thresholds. The author believes this modification of the ADX and DMI data offers a more intuitive visualization of the information provided by Wilder's calculations.
An additional feature of the DADX is the option to use average (smooth) DMI+ and DMI- values in the oscillator's calculation, which reduces noise and choppiness at the cost of added lag.
█ USAGE
The "ADX Length" input determines the number of bars in the DMI and ADX calculation. The "DMI Smoothing Length" input controls the number of bars in the DMI smoothing calculation. Use a value of 1 for non-smoothed DMI data.
The sign of the DADX indicates the direction of price movements based on the difference between the smoothed DMI+ and DMI- values. The absolute value of the oscillator corresponds to the ADX, representing the trend strength.
The "Low Threshold" and "High Threshold" inputs define the ADX thresholds for categorizing trending, non-trending, and exhaustion states. The low threshold specifies the minimum absolute oscillator value required to indicate a trend, and the high threshold marks the absolute value where trend strength is excessive, possibly suggesting an upcoming consolidation or reversal. The indicator colors the histogram based on these thresholds and changes in the ADX, with brighter colors denoting a strengthening trend and darker colors signaling a weakening trend.
DMI Delta by 0xjcfOverview
This indicator integrates the Directional Movement Index (DMI), Average Directional Index (ADX), and volume analysis into an Oscillator designed to help traders identify divergence-based trading signals. Unlike typical volume or momentum indicators, this combination provides insight into directional momentum and volume intensity, allowing traders to make well-informed decisions based on multiple facets of market behavior.
Purpose and How Components Work Together
By combining DMI and ADX with volume analysis, this indicator helps traders detect when momentum diverges from price action—a common precursor to potential reversals or significant moves. The ADX filter enhances this by distinguishing trending from range-bound conditions, while volume analysis highlights moments of extreme sentiment, such as solid buying or selling. Together, these elements provide traders with a comprehensive view of market strength, directional bias, and volume surges, which help filter out weaker signals.
Key Features
DMI Delta and Oscillator: The DMI indicator measures directional movement by comparing DI+ and DI- values. This difference (DMI Delta) is calculated and displayed as a histogram, visualizing changes in directional bias. When combined with ADX filtering, this histogram helps traders gauge the strength of momentum and spot directional shifts early. For instance, a rising histogram in a bearish price trend might signal a potential bullish reversal.
Volume Analysis with Extremes: Volume is monitored to reveal when market participation is unusually high, using a customizable multiplier to highlight significant volume spikes. These extreme levels are color-coded directly on the histogram, providing visual cues on whether buying or selling interest is particularly strong. Volume analysis adds depth to the directional insights from DMI, allowing traders to differentiate between regular and powerful moves.
ADX Trending Filter: The ADX component filters trends by measuring the overall strength of a price move, with a default threshold of 25. When ADX is above this level, it suggests that the market is trending strongly, making the DMI Delta readings more reliable. Below this threshold, the market is likely range-bound, cautioning traders that signals might not have as much follow-through.
Using the Indicator in Divergence Strategies
This indicator excels in divergence strategies by highlighting moments when price action diverges from directional momentum. Here’s how it aids in decision-making:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is falling to new lows while the DMI Delta histogram rises, it can indicate weakening bearish momentum and signal a potential price reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: Conversely, if prices are climbing but the DMI Delta histogram falls, it may point to waning bullish momentum, suggesting a bearish reversal.
Visual Cues and Customization
The color-coded output enhances usability:
Bright Green/Red: Extreme volume with strong bullish or bearish signals, often at points of high potential for trend continuation or reversal.
Green/Red Shades: These shades reflect trending conditions (bullish or bearish) based on ADX, factoring in volume. Green signals a bullish trend, and red is a bearish trend.
Blue/Orange Shades: Indicates non-trending or weaker conditions, suggesting a more cautious approach in range-bound markets.
Customizable for Diverse Trading Styles
This indicator allows users to adjust settings like the ADX threshold and volume multiplier to optimize performance for various timeframes and strategies. Whether a trader prefers swing trading or intraday scalping, these parameters enable fine-tuning to enhance signal reliability across different market contexts.
Practical Usage Tips
Entry and Exit Signals: Use this indicator in conjunction with price action. Divergences between the price and DMI Delta histogram can reinforce entry or exit decisions.
Adjust Thresholds: Based on backtesting, customize the ADX Trending Threshold and Volume Multiplier to ensure optimal performance on different timeframes or trading styles.
In summary, this indicator is tailored for traders seeking a multi-dimensional approach to market analysis. It blends momentum, trend strength, and volume insights to support divergence-based strategies, helping traders confidently make informed decisions. Remember to validate signals through backtesting and use it alongside price action for the best results.

ADX Trend Strength Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Average Directional Index (ADX), a powerful tool used to measure the strength of market trends. It works alongside the Directional Movement Index (DMI), which breaks down the directional market pressure into bullish (+DI) and bearish (-DI) components. The purpose of the ADX is to indicate when the market is in a strong trend, without specifying the direction. This indicator can be especially useful for identifying market trends early and validating trading strategies based on trend-following systems.
The ADX component in this script is based on two key parameters:
ADX Smoothing Length (adxlen), which determines the degree of smoothing for the trend strength.
DI Length (dilen), which defines the look-back period for calculating the directional index values.
Additionally, a horizontal line is plotted at the 30 level, providing a widely used threshold that signifies when a trend is considered strong (above 30).
█ CONCEPTS
Directional Movement (DM): The core idea behind this indicator is the calculation of price movement in terms of bullish and bearish forces. By evaluating the change in highs and lows, the script distinguishes between bullish movement (+DM) and bearish movement (-DM). These values are normalized by dividing them by the True Range (TR), creating the +DI and -DI values.
True Range (TR): The True Range is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) formula, and it serves to smooth out volatility, ensuring that short-term fluctuations don't distort the long-term trend signal.
ADX Calculation: The ADX is derived from the absolute difference between the +DI and -DI. By smoothing this difference and normalizing it, the ADX is able to measure the overall strength of the trend without regard to whether the market is moving up or down. A rising ADX indicates increasing trend strength, while a falling ADX signals weakening trends.
█ METHODOLOGY
Directional Movement Calculation: The script first determines the upward and downward price movement by comparing changes in the high and low prices. If the upward movement is greater than the downward movement, it registers a bullish signal and vice versa for bearish movement.
True Range Adjustment: The script then applies a smoothing function to normalize these movements by dividing them by the True Range (ATR). This ensures that the trend signal is based on relative, rather than absolute, price movements.
ADX Signal Generation: The final step is to calculate the ADX by applying the Relative Moving Average (RMA) to the difference between +DI and -DI. This produces the ADX value, which is plotted in red, making it easy to visualize shifts in market momentum.
Threshold Line: A blue horizontal line is plotted at 30, which serves as a key reference point. When the ADX is above this line, it indicates a strong trend, whether bullish or bearish.
█ HOW TO USE
Trend Strength: Traders typically use the 30 level as a critical threshold. When the ADX is above 30, it signifies a strong trend, making it a favorable environment for trend-following strategies. Conversely, ADX values below 30 suggest a weak or non-trending market.
+DI and -DI Relationship: The indicator also provides insight into whether the trend is bullish or bearish. When +DI is greater than -DI, the market is considered bullish. When -DI is greater than +DI, the market is considered bearish. While this script focuses on the ADX value itself, the underlying +DI and -DI help interpret the trend direction.
Market Conditions: This indicator is effective in trending markets, but not ideal for choppy or sideways conditions. Traders can use it to determine the best entry and exit points when trends are strong, or to avoid trading in periods of low volatility.
Combining with Other Indicators: The ADX is commonly used in conjunction with oscillators like RSI or moving averages, to confirm the trend strength and avoid false signals.
█ METHOD VARIANTS
This script applies the standard approach for calculating the ADX, but could be adapted with the following variants:
Different Timeframes: The script could be modified to calculate ADX values across higher or lower timeframes, depending on the trader's strategy.
Custom Thresholds: Instead of using the default 30 threshold, traders could adjust the horizontal line to suit their own risk tolerance or market conditions.
RSI 15/60 and ADX PlotIn this script, the buy and sell criteria are based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) values calculated for two different timeframes: the 15-minute RSI and the hourly RSI. These timeframes are used together to check signals when certain thresholds are crossed, providing confirmation across both short-term and longer-term momentum.
Buy Criteria:
Condition 1:
Hourly RSI > 60: This means the longer-term momentum shows strength.
15-minute RSI crosses above 60: This shows that the shorter-term momentum is catching up and confirms increasing strength.
Condition 2:
15-minute RSI > 60: This indicates that the short-term trend is already strong.
Hourly RSI crosses above 60: This confirms that the longer-term trend is also gaining strength.
Both conditions aim to capture the moments when the market shows increasing strength across both short and long timeframes, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Criteria:
Condition 1:
Hourly RSI < 40: This indicates that the longer-term trend is weakening.
15-minute RSI crosses below 40: The short-term momentum is also turning down, confirming the weakening trend.
Condition 2:
15-minute RSI < 40: The short-term trend is already weak.
Hourly RSI crosses below 40: The longer-term trend is now confirming the weakness, indicating a potential sell.
These conditions work to identify when the market is showing weakness in both short-term and long-term timeframes, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
ADX Confirmation :
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is a key tool for measuring the strength of a trend. It can be used alongside the RSI to confirm whether a buy or sell signal is occurring in a strong trend or during market consolidation. Here's how ADX can be integrated:
ADX > 25: This indicates a strong trend. Using this threshold, you can confirm buy or sell signals when there is a strong upward or downward movement in the market.
Buy Example: If a buy signal (RSI > 60) is triggered and the ADX is above 25, this confirms that the market is in a strong uptrend, making the buy signal more reliable.
Sell Example: If a sell signal (RSI < 40) is triggered and the ADX is above 25, it confirms a strong downtrend, validating the sell signal.
ADX < 25: This suggests a weak or non-existent trend. In this case, RSI signals might be less reliable since the market could be moving sideways.
Final Approach:
The RSI criteria help identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in both short and long timeframes.
The ADX confirmation ensures that the signals generated are happening during strong trends, increasing the likelihood of successful trades by filtering out weak or choppy market conditions.
This combination of RSI and ADX can help traders make more informed decisions by ensuring both momentum and trend strength align before entering or exiting trades.

🔶 Filtered MACD : Understanding How Filters Work with ADX and MA
ADX Filter:
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend. The script calculates ADX using the user-defined length and applies a threshold value.
Trading Signals with ADX Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal (crossover of MACD line above the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the set threshold. This suggests a stronger uptrend to potentially capitalize on.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal (crossunder of MACD line below the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the threshold, indicating a stronger downtrend for potential shorting opportunities.
Benefits: The ADX filter helps avoid whipsaws or false signals that might occur during choppy market conditions with weak trends.
MA Filter:
You can choose from various Moving Average (MA) types (EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA) for the filter. The script calculates the chosen MA based on the user-defined length.
Trading Signals with MA Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal is only considered valid if the closing price is above the MA value. This suggests a potential uptrend confirmed by the price action staying above the moving average.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal is only considered valid if the closing price is below the MA value. This suggests a potential downtrend confirmed by the price action staying below the moving average.
Benefits: The MA filter helps identify potential trend continuation opportunities by ensuring the price aligns with the chosen moving average direction.
Combining Filters:
You can choose to use either the ADX filter, the MA filter, or both depending on your strategy preference. Using both filters adds an extra layer of confirmation for your signals.
🔶 Backtesting Module
The backtesting module in this script allows you to visually assess how the filtered MACD strategy would have performed on historical data. Here's a deeper dive into its features:
Backtesting Type: You can choose to backtest for buy signals only, sell signals only, or both. This allows you to analyze the strategy's effectiveness in different market conditions.
Stop-Loss Types: You can define how stop-loss orders are placed:
ATR (Average True Range): This uses a volatility measure (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor to set the stop-loss level.
Fixed Point: This allows you to specify a fixed dollar amount or percentage value as the stop-loss.
X bar High/Low: This sets the stop-loss at a certain number of bars (defined by the user) above/below the bar's high (for long positions) or low (for short positions).
Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Define the desired ratio between your potential profit and potential loss on each trade. The backtesting module will calculate take-profit levels based on this ratio and the stop-loss placement.

Session MasterSession Master Indicator
Overview
The "Session Master" indicator is a unique tool designed to enhance trading decisions by providing visual cues and relevant information during the critical last 15 minutes of a trading session. It also integrates advanced trend analysis using the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Movement Index (DI) to offer insights into market trends and potential entry/exit points.
Originality and Functionality
This script combines session timing, visual alerts, and trend analysis in a cohesive manner to give traders a comprehensive view of market behavior as the trading day concludes. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Last 15 Minutes Highlight : The script identifies the last 15 minutes of the trading session and highlights this period with a semi-transparent blue background, helping traders focus on end-of-day price movements.
Previous Session High and Low : The script dynamically plots the high and low of the previous trading session. These levels are crucial for identifying support and resistance and are highlighted with dashed lines and labeled for easy identification during the last 15 minutes of the current session.
Directional Movement and Trend Analysis : Using a combination of ADX and DI, the script calculates and plots trend strength and direction. A 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is plotted with color coding (green for bullish and red for bearish) based on the DI difference, offering clear visual cues about the market trend.
Technical Explanation
Last 15 Minutes Highlight:
The script checks the current time and compares it to the session’s last 15 minutes.
If within this period, the background color is changed to a semi-transparent blue to alert the trader.
Previous Session High and Low:
The script retrieves the high and low of the previous daily session.
During the last 15 minutes of the session, these levels are plotted as dashed lines and labeled appropriately.
ADX and DI Calculation:
The script calculates the True Range, Directional Movement (both positive and negative), and smoothes these values over a specified length (28 periods by default).
It then computes the Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) and the ADX to gauge trend strength.
The 21-period EMA is plotted with dynamic color changes based on the DI difference to indicate trend direction.
How to Use
Highlight Key Moments: Use the blue background highlight to concentrate on market movements in the critical last 15 minutes of the trading session.
Identify Key Levels: Pay attention to the plotted high and low of the previous session as they often act as significant support and resistance levels.
Assess Trend Strength: Use the ADX and DI values to understand the strength and direction of the market trend, aiding in making informed trading decisions.
EMA for Entry/Exit: Use the color-coded 21-period EMA for potential entry and exit signals based on the trend direction indicated by the DI.
Conclusion
The "Session Master" indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders make informed decisions during the crucial end-of-session period. By combining session timing, previous session levels, and advanced trend analysis, it provides a comprehensive overview that is both informative and actionable. This script is particularly useful for intraday traders looking to optimize their strategies around session close times.
ADX / Connectable [Azullian]
Streamline your strategy with the ADX indicator. Precisely analyze market strength and direction, integrating these insights for more adaptable trading decisions.
This connectable ADX indicator is part of an indicator system designed to help test, visualize and build strategy configurations without coding. Like all connectable indicators , it interacts through the TradingView input source, which serves as a signal connector to link indicators to each other. All connectable indicators send signal weight to the next node in the system until it reaches either a connectable signal monitor, signal filter and/or strategy.
█ UNIFORM SETTINGS AND A WAY OF WORK
Although connectable indicators may have specific weight scoring conditions, they all aim to follow a standardized general approach to weight scoring settings, as outlined below.
■ Connectable indicators - Settings
• 🗲 Energy: Energy applies an ATR multiplier to the plotted shapes on the chart. A higher value plots shapes farther away from the candle, enhancing visibility.
• ☼ Brightness: Brightness determines the opacity of the shape plotted on the chart, aiding visibility. Indicator weight also influences opacity.
• → Input: Use the input setting to specify a data source for the indicator. Here you can connect the indicator to other indicators.
• ⌥ Flow: Determine where you want to receive signals from:
○ Both: Weights from this indicator and the connected indicator will apply
○ Indicator only: Only weights from this indicator will apply
○ Input only: Only weights from the connected indicator will apply
• ⥅ Weight multiplier: Multiply all weights in the entire indicator by a given factor, useful for quickly testing different indicators in a granular setup.
• ⥇ Threshold: Set a threshold to indicate the minimum amount of weight it should receive to pass it through to the next indicator.
• ⥱ Limiter: Set a hard limit to the maximum amount of weight that can be fed through the indicator.
■ Connectable indicators - Weight scoring settings
▢ Weight scoring conditions
• SM – Signal mode: Enable specific conditions for weight scoring
○ All: All signals will be scored.
○ Entries only: Only entries will score
○ Exits only: Only exits will score.
○ Entries & exits: Both entries and exits will score.
○ Zone: Continuous scoring for each candle within the zone.
• SP – Signal period: Defines a range of candles within which a signal can score.
• SC - Signal count: Specifies the number of bars to retrospectively examine and score.
○ Single: Score for a single occurrence
○ All occurrences: Score for all occurrences
○ Single + Threshold: Score for single occurrences within the signal period (SP)
○ Every + Threshold: Score for all occurrences within the signal period (SP)
▢ Weight scoring direction
• ES: Enter Short weight
• XL: Exit long weight
• EL: Enter Long weight
• XS: Exit Short weight
▢ Weight scoring values
• Weights can hold either positive or negative scores. Positive weights enhance a particular trading direction, while negative weights diminish it.
█ ADX - INDICATOR SETTINGS
■ Main settings
• Enable/Disable Indicator: Toggle the entire indicator on or off.
• S - Source: Choose an alternative data source for the ADX calculation.
• T - Timeframe: Select an alternative timeframe for the ADX calculation.
• SM - Smoothing: Smooth the length averages.
• LE - DI Length: Determine the DI: Directional indicator length.
• TH - Trend threshold: Specify the level the ADX has to cross
• EM - Entry signal mode: Determine entry mode
○ DI: Use only DI+ and DI- crossings
○ DI + ADX: Use DI with increasing ADX
○ DI + ADX + Invert: Use DI with increasing ADX and DI with decreasing ADX
• XM - Exit signal mode: Determine exit mode
○ DI: Use DI crossing to exit
○ ADX: Use decreasing ADX to signal exit
■ Scoring functionality
• The ADX scores long entries when the ADX crosses the TH: Trend threshold and +DM is greater than -DM
• The ADX scores long exits when the ADX falls back below the TH: Trend threshold and +DM is greater than -DM
• The ADX scores long zones the entire time the ADX is above the TH: Trend threshold and +DM is greater than -DM
• The ADX scores short entries when the ADX crosses the TH: Trend threshold and +DM is smaller than -DM
• The ADX scores short exits when the ADX falls back below the TH: Trend threshold and +DM is smaller than -DM
• The ADX scores short zones the entire time the ADX is above the TH: Trend threshold and +DM is smaller than -DM
█ PLOTTING
• Standard: Symbols (EL, XS, ES, XL) appear relative to candles based on set conditions. Their opacity and position vary with weight.
• Conditional Settings: A larger icon appears if global conditions are met. For instance, with a Threshold(⥇) of 12, Signal Period (SP) of 3, and Scoring Condition (SC) set to "EVERY", an ADX signaling over two times in 3 candles (scoring 6 each) triggers a larger icon.
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter and/or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with a signal filter and strategy
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, signal monitor, and/or strategy .
Let's connect the ADX to a connectable signal filter and a strategy :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load ADX / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the ADX to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : ADX / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains. Instantly test your results and discover the potential of your configurations. Dive deep and enjoy the process!

█ COMPATIBLE INDICATORS
Each indicator that incorporates our open-source 'azLibConnector' library and adheres to our conventions can be effortlessly integrated and used as detailed above.
For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Hide attributes: As connectable indicators send through quite some information you'll notice all the arguments are taking up some screenwidth and cause some visual clutter. You can disable arguments in Chart Settings / Status line.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.

ADX Oscillator @shrilssThis Indicator calculates the Average Directional Index (ADX), a popular indicator used to quantify the strength of a trend. Additionally, it computes the Positive Directional Index (+DI) and Negative Directional Index (-DI), which measure the strength of upward and downward price movements respectively.
What sets this script apart is its enhanced ADX calculations. It incorporates Moving Averages (MAs) of the +DI and -DI to offer a smoother representation of trend direction. By averaging these directional indices over a specified period, it aims to filter out noise and provide clearer signals of trend strength.
Traders have the flexibility to visualize the traditional ADX alongside the enhanced ADX oscillator. The script also highlights potential buying and selling opportunities based on crossover events between the directional indices and the ADX, helping traders identify optimal entry and exit points.
With customizable parameters such as the length of the Directional Movement (DM), ADX, and MA periods, this script empowers traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
Scalper's Volatility Filter [QuantraSystems]Scalpers Volatility Filter
Introduction
The 𝒮𝒸𝒶𝓁𝓅𝑒𝓇'𝓈 𝒱𝑜𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓁𝒾𝓉𝓎 𝐹𝒾𝓁𝓉𝑒𝓇 (𝒮𝒱𝐹) is a sophisticated technical indicator, designed to increase the profitability of lower timeframe trading.
Due to the inherent decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio when trading on lower timeframes, it is critical to develop analysis methods to inform traders of the optimal market periods to trade - and more importantly, when you shouldn’t trade.
The 𝒮𝒱𝐹 uses a blend of volatility and momentum measurements, to signal the dominant market condition - trending or ranging.
Legend
The 𝒮𝒱𝐹 consists of a signal line that moves above and below a central zero line, serving as the indication of market regime.
When the signal line is positioned above zero, it indicates a period of elevated volatility. These periods are more profitable for trading, as an asset will experience larger price swings, and by design, trend-following indicators will give less false signals.
Conversely, when the signal line moves below zero, a low volatility or mean-reverting market regime dominates.
This distinction is critical for traders in order to align strategies with the prevailing market behaviors - leveraging trends in volatile markets and exercising caution or implementing mean-reversion systems in periods of lower volatility.
Case Study
Here we can see the indicator's unique edge in action.
Out of the four potential long entries seen on the chart - displayed via bar coloring, two would result in losses.
However, with the power of the 𝒮𝒱𝐹 a trader can effectively filter false signals by only entering momentum-trades when the signal line is above zero.
In this small sample of four trades, the 𝒮𝒱𝐹 increased the win rate from 50% to 100%
Methodology
The methodology behind the 𝒮𝒱𝐹 is based upon three components:
By calculating and contrasting two ATR’s, the immediate market momentum relative to the broader, established trend is calculated. The original method for this can be credited to the user @xinolia
A modified and smoothed ADX indicator is calculated to further assess the strength and sustainability of trends.
The ‘Linear Regression Dispersion’ measures price deviations from a fitted regression line, adding further confluence to the signals representation of market conditions.
Together, these components synthesize a robust, balanced view of market conditions, enabling traders to help align strategies with the prevailing market environment, in order to potentially increase expected value and win rates.
RSI/MFI Selling Sentiment IndexPsychological Sales Index (Psychological Sales Index)
Fundamental Indicators of Market Sentiment: The Importance of MFI and RSI
The two fundamental indicators that best reflect market sentiment are Money Flow Index (MFI) and Relative Strength Index (RSI). MFI is an indicator of the flow of funds in a market by combining price and volume, which is used to determine whether a stock is over-bought or over-selling. RSI is an indicator of the overheating of the market by measuring the rise and fall of prices, which is applied to the analysis of the relative strength of stock prices. These two indicators allow a quantitative assessment of the market's buying and selling pressure, which provides important information to understand the psychological state of market participants.
Using timing and fundamental metrics
In order to grasp the effective timing of the sale, in-depth consideration was needed on how to use basic indicators. MFI and RSI represent the buying and selling pressures of the market, respectively, but there is a limit to reflecting the overall trend of the market alone. As a result, a study on how to capture more accurate selling points was conducted by comprehensively considering technical analysis along with psychological factors of the market.
The importance of ADX integration and weighting
The "Average Regional Index (ADX)" was missing in the early version. ADX is an indicator of the strength of a trend, and has experienced a problem of less accuracy in selling sentiment indicators, especially in the upward trend. To address this, we incorporated ADX and adopted a method of adjusting the weights of MFI and RSI according to the values of ADX. A high ADX value implies the existence of a strong trend, in which case it is appropriate to reduce the influence of MFI and RSI to give more importance to the strength of the trend. Conversely, a low ADX value increases the influence of MFI and RSI, putting more weight on the psychological elements of the market.
How to use and interpret
The user can adjust several parameters. Key inputs include 'Length', 'Overbought Threshold', 'DI Length', and 'ADX Smoothing'. These parameters are used to set the calculation period, overselling threshold, DI length, and ADX smoothing period of the indicator, respectively. The script calculates the psychological selling index based on MFI, RSI, and ADX. The calculated index is normalized to values between 0 and 100 and is displayed in the graph. Values above 'Overbought Threshold' indicate an overselling state, which can be interpreted as a potential selling signal. This index allows investors to comprehensively evaluate the psychological state of the market and the strength of trends, which can be used to make more accurate selling decisions.
ADX Speed DerivativeThe ADX Speed Derivative (ADXSD) is a cutting-edge trading indicator meticulously crafted for trend analysis. By harnessing the power of the Average Rate Of Change (AROC) method applied to the first and second derivatives (pictured in white and purple, respectively) of the ADX oscillator, this indicator transcends conventional tools, offering traders unparalleled insights into market dynamics.
Key Features and Analysis Capabilities:
The ADXSD stands out with its ability to detect shifts in market trend directions, precisely quantify the speed and intensity of those transitions, and gauge the weakening or strengthening of prevailing trends. This comprehensive toolkit is designed for traders who demand accuracy and nuance in their technical analysis.
AROC Differentiation:
Unlike traditional ADX-based indicators, the ADXSD incorporates the AROC method, offering a nuanced perspective on trend acceleration or deceleration. The first derivative provides insight into the simplest rate of change, while the second derivative unveils the acceleration or deceleration of the trend, empowering traders with a deeper understanding of market dynamics.
Signal Precision:
This indicator excels at pinpointing potential trend reversals and transitions. Utilizing AROC on the ADX oscillator, it generates precise signals marked on the chart, giving traders timely and actionable information to make informed decisions.
Customization and Adaptability:
The ADXSD offers a range of customization options to cater to diverse trading strategies. Traders can adjust the lookback parameters to align with their risk tolerance and preferences, ensuring a personalized and adaptive approach to technical analysis.
Trend Visualization:
Incorporating a visual approach, this indicator enhances the interpretation of market trends. Traders can quickly identify shifts in trend strength and direction by observing midline crossovers, providing a visual guide for strategic decision-making.
Comprehensive Analysis:
The ADXSD serves as a comprehensive tool for traders seeking in-depth insights into market trends. It complements existing technical indicators, offering a holistic approach to market analysis.
Easy To Trade indicatorAbstract
This script evaluates how easy for traders to trade.
This script computes the level that the gains were distributed in many trading days.
We can use this indicator to decide the instruments and the time we trade.
Introduction
Why we think the trading markets are boring?
It is because most of the gains were concentrated in a few trading days.
We look for instruments we can buy at support and sell at resistance frequently and repeatedly.
However, it does not happen usually because it is difficult to find sellers sell at support and buyers buy at resistance.
This script is a method to measure if an instrument is difficult to trade.
If most of the gains were concentrated in a few trading days, this script says it is difficult to trade.
If gains were distributed in many trading days and we can buy low and sell high repeatedly, this script says it is easy to trade.
Therefore, this script measure how difficult for us to trade by the ratio between the area of value and the total gain.
How it works
1. Determine the instruments and time frames we are interested in.
2. Determine how many days this script evaluate the result. This number may depend on how many days from you buy in to you sell out.
3. If the instrument you choose is easy to trade, this script reports higher values.
4. If the instrument is long term bullish, the number "easy to invest" is usually higher than the number "easy to short" .
5. We can consider trade instruments which are easier to trade than others.
6. We can consider wait until the period that it is difficult to trade has past or keep believing that some instruments are easier to trade than others.
Parameters
x_src = The price for each trading day this script use. It may be open , high , low , close or their combination.
x_is_exp = Whether this script evaluate the price movement in exponential or logarithm. You are advised to answer yes if the price changes drastically.
x_period = How many days this script evaluate the result.
Conclusion
With this indicator , we have data to explain how easy or difficult an instrument is for traders . In other words , if we hear some people say the trading markets are boring or difficult for traders , we can use this indicator to verify how accurate their comments are.
With this explainable analysis , we have more knowledge about which instruments and which sessions are relative easy for us to buy low and sell high repeatedly and frequently , we can have better proceeding than buy and hold simply.
ADX Trend Confirmer [Honestcowboy]The ADX Trend Confirmer aims to give traders or algorithms a way to confirm a trend before entering a trade.
While the default for ADX is a smoothing factor of 14 and a length of 14 to measure directional strength. In my experience this is a lagging indicator and not the best for confirming if the market is trending.
🟢 What are the methods used for confirming trend in this indicator?
ADX above x number : By default we use an ADX length of 3 and it's value needs to be above 50.
ADX sloping up ? This will check if the ADX value is higher than that of previous bar, this to confirm that trend is getting momentum and not slowing down.
close>open / close<open : This is to check in which direction the trend is going.
Mid Point : We use a mid-point between highest high and lowest low in a given period by default of 3 bars. Price needs to close above/below this point to confirm direction. We use previous bar mid-point so there is no repainting of the line.
Min bar ratio: How many percent of the bar is the body? A high amount of wicks but not a lot of body can mean indecision (no trend). This to ensure entries are only after a convincing bar.

This is not a strategy on it's own but a building block to add to your analysis.
TTP SuperTrend ADXThis indicator uses the strength of the trend from ADX to decide how the SuperTrend (ST) should behave.
Motivation
ST is a great trend following indicator but it's not capable of adapting to the trend strength.
The ADX, Average Directional Index measures the strength of the trend and can be use to dynamically tweak the ST factor so that it's sensitivity can adapt to the trend strength.
Implementation
The indicator calculates a normalised value of the ADX based on the data available in the chart.
Based on these values ST will use different factors to increase or reduce the factor use by ST: expansion or compression.
ST expansion vs compression
Expanding the ST would mean that the stronger a trends get the ST factor will grow causing it to distance further from the price delaying the next ST trend flip.
Compressing the ST would mean that the stronger a trends get the ST factor will shrink causing it to get closer to the price speeding up the next ST trend flip.
Features
- Alerts for trend flip
- Alerts for trend status
- Backtestable stream
- SuperTrend color gets more intense with the strength of the trend
Directional Movement Index FLEXA common problem experienced by short term traders using DMI/ADX is that the session breaks results in carry-over effects from the prior session. For example, a large gap up would result in a positive DMI, even though momentum is clearly negative. Note the extremely different results in the morning session, when the gap is reversed.
The DMI-FLEX algoritm resets the +DI and -DI values to the prior session ending midpoint, so that new momentum can be observed from the indicator. (Note for Pinescript coders: rma function does not accept series int, thus the explicit pine_rma function)
DMI-FLEX has the added feature that the ADX value, instead of a separate line, is shown as shading between the +DI and -DI lines, and the color itself is determined by whether +DI is above -DI for a bullish color, or -DI is above +DI for a bearish color.
DMI Flex also gives you the flexibility of inverse colors, in case your chart has inverted scale.
Summary and How to use:
1) Green when +DI is above -DI
2) Red when -DI is above +DI
3) Deeper shading represents a higher ADX value.
ADXcellenceThis advanced trading indicator, inspired by Dr. Charles B. Schaap's book "ADXcellence: Power Trend Strategies", leverages the principles of the Average Directional Index (ADX) to help traders identify and exploit trending conditions in the market.
The ADXcellence Indicator uses multiple levels of analysis to evaluate the strength and direction of trends.
In addition to the classic ADX+DMI input settings, these features are included:
ADX Slope Signal: This parameter, controls the sensitivity of the ADX slope, which will indicate when the trend strength is increasing or decreasing.
The indicator provides three trend levels: strong trend level, trending level, and low volatility level, which can be customized to suit various trading strategies.
The color gradients for the ADX, DI+, and DI- lines are designed to visually represent the trend strength from the low volatility level to the strong trend level. The indicator also uses a dynamic background color, highlighting the periods when the ADX is rising. The color will vary depending on the dominant DI.
The ADXcellence Indicator also offers a unique feature of dynamically adjusting the fill between DI+ and DI-, with the color and fill intensity changing based on the relative value of the two.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use trend-following strategies and is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and avoid potential false signals.
Remember, no indicator is perfect and every trading strategy should include risk management and proper due diligence.
Enjoy :)
AIR Vortex ADXThis project started as an effort to improve the user interface of the hybrid indicator ADX of Vortex, which is, as per the name, a blend of ADX and Vortex Indicator. Plotting both indicators on the same polarity and normalising the vortex, a better interpretation of the interaction between the two is possible, and trend becomes apparent.
Basically, the Vortex provides the bright punch and ADX the continuation of the trend and momentum.
A range mixer has been added to the vortex, comprising both true and interpercentile ranges (see my previous script for a desrciption of interpercentile range). Users can activate and add amounts of each as they see fit.
Finally, there is an RSI filter, the idea of which is to filter out ranging (flat) markets, where no distinct direction is yet emerging.
