ADX & DMI

The Directional Movement Index (DMI) and Average Directional Index (ADX) are Wilder's tools for measuring trend direction and, crucially, trend strength. This article explains the +DI and -DI lines (which side is winning), the ADX line (how strong the trend is, regardless of direction), the conventional 25/20 thresholds for trending versus ranging, how DI crossovers signal direction, and how to use ADX as a filter rather than a standalone signal.
