Indicator at a Glance
The ADX Color indicator, by measuring trend strength (regardless of its direction), displays market data in the form of histograms with various colors, where each color represents a specific market condition:
- Green: Indicates bullish trend strength;
- Red: Indicates bearish trend strength;
- Gray: Indicates sideways or neutral market conditions.
Uptrend Conditions
The image below shows the XAU/USD (Gold) chart in a 15-minute timeframe.
The appearance of green bars in the histogram, along with their increasing length, signals bullish trend strength and suggests entry points for Buy trades.

Downtrend Conditions
The image below displays the AUD/JPY (Australian Dollar vs. Japanese Yen) index in a 5-minute timeframe. The increasing height of red bars in the histogram indicates selling pressure and bearish trend strength.
Such a scenario typically shows the beginning of a downward movement and a potential entry point for Selling trades.
