Average Directional Movement Index Rating
Introduction
This indicator computes the Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR). The Average Directional Movement Index Rating is calculated with the following formula: ADXR[i] = (ADX[i] + ADX[i - period + 1]) / 2
To view the implementation of this indicator, see the LEAN GitHub repository.
Using ADXR Indicator
To create an automatic indicators for AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating
, call the ADXR
helper method from the QCAlgorithm
class. The ADXR
method creates a AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating
object, hooks it up for automatic updates, and returns it so you can used it in your algorithm. In most cases, you should call the helper method in the Initialize
initialize
method.
public class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; private AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating _adxr; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; _adxr = ADXR(_symbol, 20); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { if (_adxr.IsReady) { // The current value of _adxr is represented by itself (_adxr) // or _adxr.Current.Value Plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adxr", _adxr); // Plot all properties of adxr Plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adx", _adxr.ADX); } } }
class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def initialize(self) -> None: self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol self._adxr = self.adxr(self._symbol, 20) def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None: if self._adxr.is_ready: # The current value of self._adxr is represented by self._adxr.current.value self.plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adxr", self._adxr.current.value) # Plot all attributes of self._adxr self.plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adx", self._adxr.adx.current.value)
The following reference table describes the ADXR
method:
adxr(symbol, period, resolution=None, selector=None)
[source]Creates a new AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating indicator.
- symbol (Symbol) — The symbol whose ADXR we want
- period (int) — The period over which to compute the ADXR
- resolution (Resolution, optional) — The resolution.
- selector (Callable[IBaseData, IBaseDataBar], optional) — x.Value)
The AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating indicator for the requested symbol over the specified period
ADXR(symbol, period, resolution=None, selector=None)
[source]Creates a new AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating indicator.
- symbol (Symbol) — The symbol whose ADXR we want
- period (Int32) — The period over which to compute the ADXR
- resolution (Resolution, optional) — The resolution.
- selector (Func<IBaseData, IBaseDataBar>, optional) — x.Value)
The AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating indicator for the requested symbol over the specified period
If you don't provide a resolution, it defaults to the security resolution. If you provide a resolution, it must be greater than or equal to the resolution of the security. For instance, if you subscribe to hourly data for a security, you should update its indicator with data that spans 1 hour or longer.
For more information about the selector argument, see Alternative Price Fields.
For more information about plotting indicators, see Plotting Indicators.
You can manually create a AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating
indicator, so it doesn't automatically update. Manual indicators let you update their values with any data you choose.
Updating your indicator manually enables you to control when the indicator is updated and what data you use to update it. To manually update the indicator, call the Update
update
method with a TradeBar
or QuoteBar
. The indicator will only be ready after you prime it with enough data.
public class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; private AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating _adxr; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; _adxr = new AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(20); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { if (data.Bars.TryGetValue(_symbol, out var bar)) { _adxr.Update(bar); } if (_adxr.IsReady) { // The current value of _adxr is represented by itself (_adxr) // or _adxr.Current.Value Plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adxr", _adxr); // Plot all properties of adxr Plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adx", _adxr.ADX); } } }
class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def initialize(self) -> None: self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol self._adxr = AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(20) def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None: bar = slice.bars.get(self._symbol) if bar: self._adxr.update(bar) if self._adxr.is_ready: # The current value of self._adxr is represented by self._adxr.current.value self.plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adxr", self._adxr.current.value) # Plot all attributes of self._adxr self.plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adx", self._adxr.adx.current.value)
To register a manual indicator for automatic updates with the security data, call the RegisterIndicator
register_indicator
method.
public class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; private AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating _adxr; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; _adxr = new AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(20); RegisterIndicator(_symbol, _adxr, Resolution.Daily); } public override void OnData(Slice data) { if (_adxr.IsReady) { // The current value of _adxr is represented by itself (_adxr) // or _adxr.Current.Value Plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adxr", _adxr); // Plot all properties of adxr Plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adx", _adxr.ADX); } } }
class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def initialize(self) -> None: self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol self._adxr = AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(20) self.register_indicator(self._symbol, self._adxr, Resolution.DAILY) def on_data(self, slice: Slice) -> None: if self._adxr.is_ready: # The current value of self._adxr is represented by self._adxr.current.value self.plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adxr", self._adxr.current.value) # Plot all attributes of self._adxr self.plot("AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating", "adx", self._adxr.adx.current.value)

Indicator History
To get the historical data of the AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating
indicator, call the IndicatorHistory
self.indicator_history
method.
This method resets your indicator, makes a history request, and updates the indicator with the historical data.
Just like with regular history requests, the IndicatorHistory
indicator_history
method supports time periods based on a trailing number of bars, a trailing period of time, or a defined period of time.
If you don't provide a resolution
argument, it defaults to match the resolution of the security subscription.
public class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm : QCAlgorithm { private Symbol _symbol; public override void Initialize() { _symbol = AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily).Symbol; var adxr = ADXR(_symbol, 20); var countIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(adxr, _symbol, 100, Resolution.Minute); var timeSpanIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(adxr, _symbol, TimeSpan.FromDays(10), Resolution.Minute); var timePeriodIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(adxr, _symbol, new DateTime(2024, 7, 1), new DateTime(2024, 7, 5), Resolution.Minute); } }
class AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRatingAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def initialize(self) -> None: self._symbol = self.add_equity("SPY", Resolution.DAILY).symbol adxr = self.adxr(self._symbol, 20) count_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(adxr, self._symbol, 100, Resolution.MINUTE) timedelta_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(adxr, self._symbol, timedelta(days=10), Resolution.MINUTE) time_period_indicator_history = self.indicator_history(adxr, self._symbol, datetime(2024, 7, 1), datetime(2024, 7, 5), Resolution.MINUTE)
To make the IndicatorHistory
indicator_history
method update the indicator with an alternative price field instead of the close (or mid-price) of each bar, pass a selector
argument.
var indicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(adxr, 100, Resolution.Minute, (bar) => ((TradeBar)bar).High);
indicator_history = self.indicator_history(adxr, 100, Resolution.MINUTE, lambda bar: bar.high) indicator_history_df = indicator_history.data_frame
If you already have a list of Slice objects, you can pass them to the IndicatorHistory
indicator_history
method to avoid the internal history request.
var history = History(_symbol, 100, Resolution.Minute); var historyIndicatorHistory = IndicatorHistory(adxr, history);
To access the properties of the indicator history, invoke the property of each IndicatorDataPoint
object.index the DataFrame with the property name.
var adx = indicatorHistory.Select(x => ((dynamic)x).ADX).ToList(); // Alternative way // var adx = indicatorHistory.Select(x => x["adx"]).ToList();
adx = indicator_history_df["adx"] # Alternative way # adx = indicator_history_df.adx
