Can you help me with an audible alert? I want to make an audible alert when the ADX crosses above the adxavg. Can that be done?
Thank you

Hi @gate122, try the BULLISH code below and add it as a study with your scan. I have recently updated the code. I pasted a CCI scan earlier by error, and you wanted a simple ADX simple scan. The code below will scan ADX trend status (UP or Down). Tested and verified. Let me know how this works for you.

Good luck! @cabe1332

Code: 
# ADX scan
# The scan will provide tickers that ADX uptrend/downtrend
# Switch "#" for bullish or bearish
# add as a study on filter scan

How do I change your scan to show ADX BEARISH? < 25?

ADX is a built-in study. You can just choose it. Set the middle column to 'less than' and the right column to 25

I've used this for quite some time. Helps keep me on my hands and when it's a good time to dive in. Anyway, thought I'd pass it on. I don't remember where I got it. I think it was sent to me through one of my trading partners. In any event, hope it helps someone.

Readings less than 25, I sit and wait. 25-50, I'm picking a spot and jumping in. +50, I'm in with both hands, the car , the dog and the house. (short or long)

Hey @bobomatic, what timeframe you select on the watch list and do you include premarket? Thank you in advance.

Can you help me make an audible alert? I want to make an alert to indicate when the ADX, the ADXAVG and PdiPlus are all above the 25 line. Can that be done?
Thank you

I've used this for quite some time. Helps keep me on my hands and when it's a good time to dive in. Anyway, thought I'd pass it on. I don't remember where I got it. I think it was sent to me through one of my trading partners. In any event, hope it helps someone.

Readings less than 25, I sit and wait. 25-50, I'm picking a spot and jumping in. +50, I'm in with both hands, the car , the dog and the house. (short or long)

Anyone now how to add this to the upper chart as labels? I would like to review old charts and see how it performs.

Thanks @samer800 i tried is but it shows 65.
On the WatchList column, it shows 32
https://imgur.com/MYaF0bV
 
I put it as 1 Day and it shows 22 instead of 32 like on the watchlist. Thanks for the effort @samer800 I will just use the Watchlist column. no big deal. I just wanted to back test the script to look at the history and i dont think this script does this.
 
I tried to use the code to view $VIX, but it doesn't work. It works for other tickers. Any idea why is that?

Hi All, below is the script I've put together coming/learning from this site. As a Trend Trader and holding pos longer are profitable. The quick scalp is a bit stressful and requires leverage, which I don't have at this time. The script provides conditions and a quick glance before you decide on pos entry or exit. For simplicity, the colored ADXCutoff dots. Please watch some youtube clips to better used ADX/DMI indicators. It is a lifesaver. Good luck! @cabe1332

Thank you! I love this ADX indicator. I tried to use the code to view $VIX, but it doesn't work. It works for other stocks. Do you have any idea why is that?

Wow...thank you very much for your help! Learned something new today. Deeply appreciate your help.
 
I'm trying to create an adx/dmi lower to work with the ADXcellence book. he uses DMI 13 and ADX 8 for his settings. In TOS the default DMI lower only lets you set 1 time frame ie. 14 days and applies it to both the DMI and ADX.

Hi All, below is the script I've put together coming/learning from this site. As a Trend Trader and holding pos longer are profitable. The quick scalp is a bit stressful and requires leverage, which I don't have at this time. The script provides conditions and a quick glance before you decide on pos entry or exit. For simplicity, the colored ADXCutoff dots. Please watch some youtube clips to better used ADX/DMI indicators. It is a lifesaver. Good luck! @cabe1332
