This a momentum indicator used to determine the strength of a price trend: it is derived from the DMI - Directional Movement Index which has 2 lines.
+DI - Positive Directional Movement Index
–DI - Negative Directional Movement Index
ADX is calculated by subtracting these two values and applying a smoothing function.
The ADX is not a directional indicator but a measure of the strength of the market trend which has a scale of Zero to 100.
Higher the indicator value the stronger the market trend.
A value of below 20 indicates that the market is not trending but heading in a range.
