dreamy Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Hi :) (This is not any premium or official indicator. Just a small indicator I created to visualize important ADX levels) This is for ADX fans only!! =D> I love ADX and my trading strategy requires viewing the ADX main line value constantly. I have tried to make something extracted from main adx but more colorful and visualized to show some trend status by color. Download: http://www.multiupload.com/3V5T18W8LU Install: Put in /experts/indicators/ in your MetaTrader program folder then load it to your template! It shows small dots that represent ADX value in colorful mode. How to read this indicator? - White = Trendless market, no direction at all (rarely occurs) - DarkGray = Ranging/consolidating market - LimeGreen = A trend is developing or has formed in market - Green = A strong/rising trend either up or down - Gold = A very strong trend usually means early warnings of retracement or pullback coming - DarkOrange = Exhausted/overextended trend - wait for retracement/reversal to occur - Red or FireBrick = Rarely occur but will occur in very long bull or bear run (Very very extended move) Ok how can this useless crap help you? You should find out. You can use the Gold/Orange/Red signals to lock in profits then re-ride the trend at better entry. You can trade retracements/reversals if you can confirm them. So I think you can use such visualized indicator for example; to avoid trading with strategies that require trending market (e.g. When it's white/silver) or to lock in profits from your trade (when it's Gold or Darkorange/Red)..and the most risky method is to trade bounces in overextended markets. (They are most of the time profit taking rather than reversals) Another use is to know when prices are rising in uptrend for example, but adx is falling which shows that trend is losing momentum. \m/ Chart: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4545/31314148.gif dbg and Raven 2 Quote

dreamy Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 Re: Trend Status Indicator It does not repaint because its simply based on the famous ADX indicator. It shows you extreme levels and ranging levels in a simple, visualized way instead of analyzing the ADX line. Good luck! :) Quote
