ADX – Average Directional Index (FX Replay User Guide)

O ADX ajuda a avaliar a força da tendência, para que você saiba quando se inclinar para as negociações de momentum e quando evitar mercados instáveis e laterais.

O que ele faz

Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., the ADX consists of three key components:

  • ADX Line: Measures overall trend strength
  • +DI Line: Bullish pressure
  • –DI Line: Bearish pressure

All values are plotted between 0 and 100 (typically over a 14-period range).

Como usá-lo no FX Replay

Força da tendência

ADX > 25 → Trending market
ADX < 25 → Ranging or weak trend
The higher the ADX, the stronger the trend (regardless of direction).

Direção da tendência

+DI above –DI → Bullish bias
–DI above +DI → Bearish bias

Momentum Shifts

If ADX is rising and +DI is above –DI → strong bullish trend
If ADX is rising and –DI is above +DI → strong bearish trend
If ADX is falling → trend may be losing steam

Trading with ADX on FX Replay

  • Confirm Setups: Use ADX to validate breakouts or trend-continuation plays. If ADX is climbing past 25, momentum is building.
  • Avoid Chop: If ADX is flat and under 20–25, stay out or pivot to range strategies.
  • Trend Reversal Clues: Watch for +DI/–DI crossovers with ADX beginning to rise — could signal a new trend forming.
  • Pair It Up: Combine ADX with structure (support/resistance) or a moving average for more precise entries and exits.
