Understanding ADX

 

Hi,

When I apply the ADX indicator to a chart it draws a line with a certain set of values. Great. If I now change the 'Apply To:' setting to a different price (e.g. from Close to High) it produces a different set of values. What does this mean?

ADX shouldn't have a price input. It just has a length input. It uses the High, Low and Close in its calculations. So if I change 'Apply To:' from Close to High, what exactly is changing and why am I getting different results?

Thanks

 

You must be using the default "Average Directional Movement Index".

Use "Close".

Try the ADX in the custom indicators list, it has only length input.

'Average Directional Movement Index, ADX'
