I'm interested in trading and investment, and I recently came across the term 'DX' in some trading articles. I'm not familiar with this acronym and would like to understand what it stands for in the context of trading.

To compute the Directional Movement Index (DX), one must first determine the absolute difference between the smoothed +DI and the smoothed –DI.

This absolute difference is then divided by the sum of the smoothed +DI and the smoothed –DI.

The result of this division is multiplied by 100 to obtain the DX value.

Following the calculation of DX, the next step is to determine the Average Directional Index (ADX).

The initial value of ADX is derived by averaging the DX values over a specified period.
