Plus ADX 14

Plus ADX 14 — Trend Strength and Direction

The Plus ADX 14 is a technical indicator for MetaTrader 5 designed to facilitate the analysis of market strength and prevailing direction.

The indicator is displayed in a separate window, with a scale from 0 to 100, combining ADX with the two directional components +DI and -DI .

Visual Elements

  • White ADX line: measures trend strength.
  • Green +DI line: represents positive directional strength.
  • Red -DI line: represents negative directional strength.
  • Level 20: reference for lower-intensity movements.
  • Level 25: main reference for trend confirmation.
  • Level 70: high-intensity region.

Automatic Market Identification

Plus ADX 14 displays an automatic classification of the current market state in the upper-right corner of the subwindow:

  • Consolidation: ADX is below the configured level or the directional lines are very close to each other.
  • UpTrend: ADX meets the minimum level and +DI is above -DI .
  • DownTrend: ADX meets the minimum level and -DI is above +DI .

The classification summarizes the current mathematical condition of the indicator. It does not represent an automatic buy or sell order.

How to Interpret

A rising ADX may indicate strengthening market movement, regardless of its direction.

The prevailing direction can be observed through the relationship between the directional lines:

  • +DI above -DI : predominance of positive strength.
  • -DI above +DI : predominance of negative strength.
  • Lines very close to each other: less defined directional movement.

An ADX below the configured trend level may indicate consolidation or insufficient market strength. An ADX above this level suggests greater directional intensity.

Available Parameters

InpPeriodADX — ADX Period

Defines the period used in the calculations of ADX, +DI , and -DI .

Default value: 14.

Lower periods make the indicator more sensitive. Higher periods produce a smoother reading.

InpTrendLevelADX — Minimum Trend Level

Defines the minimum ADX value used by the automatic market-state classification.

Default value: 25.

Changing this parameter affects the classification between consolidation and trend.

Main Features

  • ADX, +DI , and -DI in a single subwindow.
  • Scale from 0 to 100.
  • Configurable period.
  • Configurable minimum trend level.
  • Automatic identification of consolidation, uptrend, or downtrend.
  • Optimized incremental calculation.
  • Compatible with different assets and timeframes.
  • Compatible with the MetaTrader 5 Visual Tester.
  • Prepared for real-tick based testing.
  • Does not open, modify, or close trades.

Possible Applications

The indicator can assist in the analysis of:

  • Presence or absence of a trend.
  • Market movement strength.
  • Buying or selling pressure predominance.
  • Consolidation.
  • Directional strengthening or weakening.
  • Additional confirmation of breakouts.
  • Filtering trend-following strategies.

Compatibility with the Visual Tester

In the real-tick based model, the Strategy Tester may draw historical Bid and Ask trails on the main chart.

Plus ADX 14 includes specific protection to hide these trails during the Visual Tester. This protection does not modify chart settings in the live trading environment.

Important Note

Plus ADX 14 is a technical analysis tool. It does not execute trades and does not represent an automatic buy or sell recommendation.

The indicator should be used together with market context, risk management, and criteria defined by the user. No indicator can guarantee results or predict all market movements.
