Crude Oil Trading ADX Indicator

The ADX indicator is a momentum indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder.

ADX indicator is used to measure the strength of oil trends on a scale of 0 - 100; the higher the ADX indicator value the stronger the current Oil Trading trend. It should be noted that while the direction of crude oil price is important to the ADX indicator calculation, the ADX indicator is not a directional indicator. ADX indicator values above 30 indicate a very strong oil trend, while ADX indicator values below 20 indicate no trend oil market - ranging market.

Traders typically use the ADX indicator as a filter combined with other indicators to create a oil trading strategy.

Oil Trading technical analysis ADX indicator levels turning up from below 20 is an early oil signal of a new oil trend while declining levels turning down from ADX indicator levels above 30 as deterioration of the current crude oil trend.

ADX indicator should be used as part of a oil trading strategy that includes the +DI and -DI lines. Most oil trading platforms integrate the original ADX indicator with the +DI & -DI indicators (DMI Index Indicator) and collectively refer to the whole system as the ADX indicator.

In the oil example explained below:

ADX indicator is the light greenline

+DI is the blue-line(bullish line)

- DI is the red line(bearish line)
