5 guides in Finabase Learn
- ADXR (Average Directional Movement Rating): what it adds How Wilder’s ADXR averages today’s ADX with the ADX of 13 bars ago, a worked example on Chevron, what ADX–ADXR crossings mean, and how Finabase computes it.
- Average Directional Index (ADX): measuring trend strength What the ADX measures and what it does not, how Wilder built it from +DI and −DI, how to read 20, 25 and 40, a real Exxon Mobil example and Finabase’s ADX.
- Average True Range (ATR): volatility, stops and position size How Wilder’s Average True Range measures volatility including gaps, a worked Micron example, using ATR for stops and position sizing, and how Finabase computes it.
- Directional Movement Index (DX, +DI, −DI): a hand calculation How Wilder’s directional movement, true range, +DI, −DI and DX are calculated, worked bar by bar on JPMorgan Chase, and why raw DX is too noisy to use alone.
- Parabolic SAR: how stop-and-reverse works, step by step How Wilder’s Parabolic SAR trails price with an accelerating stop, a bar-by-bar calculation on Alphabet, its real win/loss record over a year, and Finabase’s settings.
