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 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 | 22.17 | 16.19 – 29.60 | 11.59 / 43.79 | 7.57 – 81.23 |
| DiPlus | 19.46 | 15.36 – 24.55 | 9.75 / 32.40 | 3.18 – 67.17 |
| DiMinus | 20.14 | 16.15 – 24.70 | 10.76 / 33.07 | 1.28 – 67.47 |
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.
