Educational reference. Measured from 44 recorded 5 minute sessions of MGC (Micro Gold), September 3 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 5 minute ADX on MGC spends 39.4% of its time above 25, 21.8% between 20 and 25 and 38.9% below 20. It enters the upper zone about 4 separate times per session and the lower zone about 5.
The most time above 25 was on September 27, 2026 (95.7% of the session). The most time below 20 was on October 18, 2026 (95.8%).
Over the last 5 sessions the ADX spent 28.8% of its time above 25 and 50.0% below 20 — less time in the upper zone than its 44 session average of 39.4%.
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.
