Okay, the user wants an explanation in Chinese about their ADX formula modification. They’ve adjusted ADX to keep the direction (positive/negative) by removing the absolute value. They believe a threshold of -50 is more effective than the usual 25 when looking for multi-day bottom opportunities. To explain from first principles, I’ll focus on market dynamics and the DMI/ADX concept. I'll analyze whether this approach truly makes sense for bottom-fishing strategies, using the negative extremes they’ve pointed out.
Explaining ADX with Directional Modification
The user asked for a conceptual explanation of modifying ADX. Without using tools, I’ll analyze from first principles. ADX tracks trend strength, not direction, by calculating the absolute difference between DI+ and DI-. If the absolute value is removed, the result becomes directional — positive when the trend is up, negative when it’s down. A threshold of -50 suggests entering after a strong downward trend, but catching bottoms so late might be risky. The interplay between periods 14 and 56 indicates different timeframes, helping identify trend shifts.
