        Article summary

        Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR) is an indicator that reflects strengthening and weakening of a trend. ADXR uses the smoothed out Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) for calculation: it takes the average value of the current ADX and the ADX value n-periods ago.

        ADXR = (ADX + ADXn) / 2

        where:
        ADX – the Average Directional Movement Index value calculated for the current period
        n – the number of periods
