Directional Movement and ADX measures how strongly a market is trending, and which side is doing the work. This page reports what it actually read on Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 10-minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 5,045 recorded values over the last 90 days.
| Series | Median | Middle half | 5th / 95th | Full range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADX | 22.12 | 16.16 – 29.44 | 11.59 / 43.63 | 7.65 – 78.29 |
| DiPlus | 19.11 | 15.10 – 24.10 | 9.56 / 31.66 | 3.19 – 67.07 |
| DiMinus | 19.88 | 15.85 – 24.37 | 10.63 / 32.52 | 2.06 – 67.30 |
The median is the middle reading, so a single unusual session cannot drag it. The middle half is where Directional Movement and ADX sat on half of all bars — the range you should expect to see most of the time on this chart.
How this was measured
Every 10-minute bar of Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 recorded in the last 90 days was read, and the values grouped without smoothing or filtering. Series with fewer than 400 readings are omitted rather than shown on thin evidence. These are recorded values, not forecasts.
