Overview

LunarTick ADX identifies trend direction by tracking crossovers between +DI and -DI, plotting crossover markers directly on the main price chart. The background highlights bullish or bearish conditions when the dominant directional line exceeds a configurable threshold level. Users can customize the ADX smoothing, DI period, and threshold value. The indicator does not generate automated trade orders, and signals update with the live bar.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
