ADX (Average Directional Index) is a well known classical indicator that is used to evaluate the strength of a current trend, be it up or down. The main indicator ADX shows the strength of a trend, and two additional +DI and-DI - the bull and bear forces. ADX is mostly used as a confirmation indicator before entering the market. However the information provided by ADX becomes only really valuable if you compare it to the ADX from other symbols. The Multi ADX indicator is designed to do that. It offers a comparison between the ADX of the current symbol and up to 5 other symbols:
