Multi Timeframe ADX and DI w/ Alerts

The Multi Timeframe ADX and DI indicator provides a condensed visual matrix of trend strength and direction across three user-defined timeframes. This tool allows traders to quickly identify trend alignment and momentum shifts by processing ADX and DI data into a simple color-coded status display.

Usage

The indicator displays three horizontal circles representing the High (HTF), Mid (MTF), and Low (LTF) timeframes. Traders can use this to identify confluence between different resolutions:

• Green Circle: Indicates a bullish trend where ADX is above 20 and DI+ is greater than DI-.
• Red Circle: Indicates a bearish trend where ADX is above 20 and DI- is greater than DI+.
• Gray Circle: Indicates a non-trending or weak environment (ADX below 20).

Common examples include looking for "Triple Alignment," where all three circles match the same color, suggesting high-probability trend continuation.

Details

The script calculates the Average Directional Index (ADX) and Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) using standard Wilders-style smoothing (RMA). It employs a custom function to derive these values and uses the request.security function to fetch data from the HTF, MTF, and LTF resolutions. A trend is only confirmed if the ADX value exceeds the 20 threshold, ensuring that directional bias is only highlighted during periods of sufficient trend strength.

Settings

• DI Length: Sets the lookback period for the Directional Indicators.
• ADX Smoothing: Sets the smoothing period for the ADX calculation.
• HTF Resolution: Sets the timeframe for the highest level of trend analysis (e.g., Weekly).
• MTF Resolution: Sets the timeframe for the middle level of trend analysis (e.g., Daily).
• LTF Resolution: Sets the timeframe for the lowest level of trend analysis (e.g., 240 minutes).

FAQ
