About Directional Movement (ADX) on a 10 minute chart

ADX summarises how strongly a market is trending, without saying which way. Higher readings mean a more persistent move, in either direction. On the 10 minute timeframe a 30 bar projection covers 5 hours of trading, so the window above describes 5 hours of E mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
