Educational reference. Measured from 36 recorded 10 minute sessions of YM (E mini Dow), September 3 to October 23, 2026. Updated as each new session is recorded.
In a typical session the 10 minute ADX on YM spends 47.3% of its time above 25, 20.6% between 20 and 25 and 32.2% below 20. It enters the upper zone about 3 separate times per session and the lower zone about 2.
The most time above 25 was on October 8, 2026 (88.4% of the session). The most time below 20 was on September 18, 2026 (77.5%).
Over the last 5 sessions the ADX spent 40.8% of its time above 25 and 40.8% below 20 — less time in the upper zone than its 36 session average of 47.3%.
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.
