VHF Adaptive ADXm [Loxx]

By loxx
VHF Adaptive ADXm [Loxx] is a variation of the ADX DI indicator with adaptive filtering using a vertical horizontal filter.

What is ADXm?
Unlike the traditional ADX indicator, where the ADX itself is plotted in absolute units and detection of the trend direction is hindered, this indicator clearly displays the positive and negative ADX half-waves (displayed as colored on the chart). And the DI+/- signals are displayed as their difference (gray).

The method of using this indicator is the same as the traditional one.

In addition, it displays the levels (dashed), above which the market is considered to be in a trend state. This level is usually set to approximately 20-25 percents--somewhat depends on the time frame it is used on.

What is VHF Adaptive Cycle?
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets. VHF measures the level of trend activity, similar to ADX DI. Vertical Horizontal Filter does not, itself, generate trading signals, but determines whether signals are taken from trend or momentum indicators. Using this trend information, one is then able to derive an average cycle length.

Included:
  • Bar coloring
  • Alerts
  • Signal types: zero-line crosses, level crosses, or signal crosses
