Educational reference. Measured from 35 recorded 15 minute sessions of MCL (Micro Crude Oil), September 3 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 15 minute ADX on MCL spends 47.9% of its time above 25, 21.1% between 20 and 25 and 31.0% below 20. It enters the upper zone about 2 separate times per session and the lower zone about 2.
The most time above 25 was on September 29, 2026 (100.0% of the session). The most time below 20 was on October 16, 2026 (75.0%).
Over the last 5 sessions the ADX spent 43.5% of its time above 25 and 32.4% below 20 — less time in the upper zone than its 35 session average of 47.9%.
ADX measures trend STRENGTH and says nothing about direction — 30 is a strong move that may be up or down. Below 20 the market is ranging, and trend following rules tend to be chopped up there.
ADX is the filter most strategies gate on, so how long it actually held above the threshold decides how many of a day's signals would have been allowed through at all.
