ADX DI Cloud
ADX + DI Cloud – Easy Trend Reading
This indicator enhances the classic ADX (+DI / −DI) structure by adding a dynamic cloud visualization, making trend direction and strength easy to read at a glance.
Its goal is to clearly answer three key questions:
Is the market trending or ranging?
If trending, what is the direction?
How strong is the trend?
Components
+DI (Green Line)
Represents buying pressure.
−DI (Red Line)
Represents selling pressure.
ADX (Orange Line)
Measures trend strength only.
It does not indicate direction.
DI Cloud
The filled area between +DI and −DI that visually highlights trend direction.
How to Read

ADX above 20 with Red Cloud

Why Use This Indicator?

Note:
This indicator is designed as a trend confirmation and filtering tool,
not as a standalone buy or sell signal.
