What is ADX Indicator?
ADX is the short form of Average Directional Indicator that helps us to identify the strength of the trend. This indicator was developed by J. Welles Wilder, he has also created some great indicators like RSI, ATR & more. The main aim of inventing this indicator was to help traders to identify the strength of a trend whether the trend is strong or weak which helps to make near perfect calls.

ADX Indicator Strategy: How to trade with ADX indicator?
While trading with the ADX indicator we need to focus on three lines +DI, -DI and ADX. When the three lines intersect each other and + DI is above all then it symbols that the market is in an uptrend so, here we should go for a buy trade. Similarly, when the three lines intersect each other and – DI is above all then we should take a sell trade as it symbols a bearish market.
You must be probably wondering, What about the ADX line right? Well, ADX is equally important when ADX is below 20 it signals a zero trend. When the ADX line is above 25 it signals a strong bullish or bearish trend similarly, when the ADX line is above 35 it signals an extreme trend and lots of profit can be made here. While using ADX you can use support and resistance for trade confirmation. When the ADX is above 25 or 35 lines and the candles are near the support level go for buy trade as it signals a bullish trend similarly when the candles are near the resistance line go for sell trade as it signals a bearish trend.
