When the ADX line is above 40 and rising this is indicative of a strong trend, and when the ADX line is below 20 and falling this is indicative of a ranging market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ADX can be used in 3 ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traders will use the ADX in their trading as a confirmation of whether or not a financial instrument is trending, and to avoid choppy periods in the market where many find it harder to make money. In addition to a situation where the ADX line trending below 20, the developer of the indicator recommends not trading a trend based strategy when the ADX line is below both the +DI Line and the \u2013DI Line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/lms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Average-Directional-Index-ADX-2.jpg\" alt=\"Average Directional Index (ADX) 2\" class=\"wp-image-39333\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A second way that traders use this indicator is to identify the potential start of a new trend in the market. They will look from below the 20 line to above the 20 line as a signal that the market may be beginning a new trend. The longer the market has been ranging, the greater the weight that most traders will give this signal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/lms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Average-Directional-Index-ADX-3.jpg\" alt=\"Average Directional Index (ADX) 3\" class=\"wp-image-39334\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Another way traders use the ADX is as a signal of trend reversals. When the ADX is trading above both the +DI line and the \u2013DI line and then turns lower this is often a signal that the current trend in the market is reversing and traders will position themselves accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/lms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ADX-4.jpg\" alt=\"ADX 4\" class=\"wp-image-39335\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traders use the ADX to position trade long when the +DI crosses above the \u2013DI and to position to trade short when the +DI line crosses below the \u2013DI (as this is a sign that the sellers are winning over the buyers). As with the other crossover strategies, the DI crossover is prone to many false signals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/lms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ADX-5.jpg\" alt=\"ADX 5\" class=\"wp-image-39336\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply for Technical Analysis Certification Now!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/Certified-Technical-Analyst\">http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/Certified-Technical-Analyst<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/technical-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Go back to Tutorial<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Average directional Index (ADX), an indicator that helps traders determine when the market is trending, how strong or weak a trend is, and when a trend may be about to start or reverse.
