How the ADX Cross Indicator Works

Trend Strength + Directional Bias

ADX measures trend strength (not direction). The directional indicators +DI and -DI represent bullish vs bearish directional pressure. Together, they help you filter out weak markets and focus on actionable trend conditions.

Signal Logic: DI Cross + ADX Filter

Long setups often appear when +DI crosses above -DI and ADX rises (trend strengthening). Short setups often appear when -DI crosses above +DI with a rising ADX. Many traders avoid DI cross signals when ADX is very low (range/whipsaw risk).

Multi-Timeframe Confirmation (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)

Use 15m/1h for timing and 4h/1d for regime confirmation. A DI cross that aligns with higher timeframe trend strength typically performs better than a single timeframe cross.

Professional Workflow: Filter, Screen, Validate

Combine ADX Cross with the indicator filter and the crypto screener. Validate market context using market status, compare candidates using Compare, and confirm trend/momentum using Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Momentum, VWAP, Volume Spike and Bollinger Bands.

Key Features:
  • Real-time trend strength analysis
  • Multi-timeframe screening (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)
  • Fast symbol search
  • Professional trading signals

ADX Cross FAQ

ADX measures trend strength (not direction). Higher ADX generally means stronger trend conditions, while low ADX typically indicates range-bound markets.

A DI cross happens when +DI crosses above -DI (bullish) or -DI crosses above +DI (bearish). Many traders confirm the crossover with rising ADX to avoid whipsaws in low-trend conditions.

Yes. Combine ADX Cross with the indicator filter and crypto screener, and use market status for macro context.
