ADX Crossing and the Directional System

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document identifies ADX Crossing as an indicator related to the directional system. It gives brief historical context, describing the system as originating with J. Welles Wilder in the 1970s as an addition to the Parabolic SAR approach and notes that other analysts later developed it further.

Beyond naming the indicator and its lineage, the text provides no crossing rules, parameter guidance, chart examples, trading method, or performance evidence. It therefore offers only a minimal introduction to the ADX concept; readers cannot infer from this description alone how to interpret a crossing or use it in a strategy.

  • The directional system was developed by J. Welles Wilder in the 1970s.
