Professional Trend ADX
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
Professional Trend ADX is a powerful trend strength indicator for MetaTrader 5 that combines the classic ADX with an intuitive Power/Volume visualization. Instead of displaying trend strength in a separate indicator window, the ADX line and Power bars are drawn directly on the main chart. This allows traders to identify trend development, trend continuation, and weakening momentum much faster.
The indicator is especially designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and day traders who want to evaluate market strength at a glance without switching between multiple indicators.
Recommended TimeframeRecommended: M5 to M30
Trend ADX Professional was specifically developed for short-term market analysis and delivers its best performance on 5-minute to 30-minute charts.
Higher timeframes are supported, but the indicator provides its greatest value for intraday trading.
How It WorksThe indicator consists of three main components:
ADX Trend Line
The orange ADX line represents the current trend strength.
- Rising line = Trend strength is increasing
- Falling line = Trend strength is weakening
- Independent of bullish or bearish direction
Power / Volume Bars
The histogram visualizes current buying and selling pressure.
Green Bars
- Buyers are dominating
- Increasing buying pressure
Red Bars
- Sellers are dominating
- Increasing selling pressure
The larger the bars, the stronger the current market momentum.
Daily-Based Calculation
The indicator works on a daily calculation basis.
The Zero Line is automatically recalculated at the beginning of every new trading day according to the broker's server time.
The starting reference is always the Open price of the current Daily candle (D1 Open) provided by the broker.
This means every trading day starts with a completely new reference point, allowing trend strength and market power to be analyzed independently from the previous trading day.
Important:
The daily reset is not based on the user's local time, but exclusively on the broker's server time and the opening of the broker's current D1 candle.

Notes- The ADX line and Power bars are updated only after a candle has closed, preventing continuous recalculation during live ticks. This provides a smoother visual experience and significantly improves performance.
- The ADX line and the Zero Line are intentionally interrupted at the end of each trading day and are not connected to the following trading day, making each day's analysis completely independent.
- The indicator has been optimized for maximum performance and processes only the selected number of recent trading days.
Trend ADX Professional is designed for traders who want to analyze trend strength and market momentum directly on the main chart in a clean and intuitive way. By combining the classic ADX with a unique Power/Volume visualization and a broker-based daily reset, it offers a practical solution for identifying high-quality trading opportunities—especially on M5 to M30 intraday charts.
