Educational reference. Measured from 34 recorded 15 minute sessions of NG (Natural Gas), September 3 to October 22, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 15 minute ADX on NG spends 43.1% of its time above 25, 19.9% between 20 and 25 and 37.0% 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 October 2, 2026 (94.1% of the session). The most time below 20 was on September 25, 2026 (100.0%).
Over the last 5 sessions the ADX spent 54.6% of its time above 25 and 26.4% below 20 — more time in the upper zone than its 34 session average of 43.1%.
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.
