| Average Directional Movement Rating quantifies momentum change in the ADX. It is calculated by adding two values of ADX (the current value and a value n periods back), then dividing by two. This additional smoothing makes the ADXR slightly less responsive than ADX. The interpretation is the same as the ADX; the higher the value, the
stronger the trend.
The ADXR, being a smoothed version of ADX,
and can be used similarly to the ADX in the three
rule system discussed on the ADX section..
The ADXR is a measure of the spread between the Directional
Indicators (+DI and -DI). When the ADXR is declining, it's not
advised to use a trend following system. However, a rising ADXR signals that the dominant trend is likely to continue.
A rising ADXR, with both the ADXR and DI+ above the D- indicates a strengthening bullish market.
The scan syntax needed to represent this condition would be...
ADXR > DIMINUS AND DIPLUS
> DIMINUS AND ADXR > ADXR.1
A rising ADXR, with both the ADXR and DI- above DI+ indicates a strengthening bearish trend.
The scan syntax needed to represent this condition would be...
ADXR > DIPLUS AND DIMINUS
> DIPLUS AND ADXR > ADXR.1
If the ADXR has been below both DI+ and DI- but has begun to rise a new market trend is emerging.
The scan syntax needed to represent this condition would be...
ADXR < DIPLUS AND ADXR
< DIMINUS AND ADXR > ADXR.1
