What exactly does the ADX measure?

The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend, not the direction. A high ADX means the trend is strong, while a low ADX suggests the market is moving sideways or consolidating.

Do I need to worry about the data format?

No. Before you run any calculation, you can use the validate_price_data capability. It checks your price arrays to make sure they meet the structural criteria needed for accurate indicator results.

Is this for live trading or historical analysis?

It handles both. You can run the full calculation on historical data for backtesting, or use get_latest_adx_summary for the most current, real-time trend assessment.

What is the difference between ADX, +DI, and -DI?

ADX measures overall trend strength. The +DI and -DI measure the directional movement of the price, indicating whether the upward or downward momentum is stronger.

What is the purpose of this capability?

It calculates the Average Directional Index (ADX) to quantify trend strength and directional bias using high, low, and close price data.

How is trend strength determined?

A trend is considered strong when the ADX value exceeds 25.

What data is required for calculation?

You must provide arrays of high prices, low prices, and close prices. The arrays must have matching lengths and sufficient data points for the chosen period.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through ADX-Calculator.

01
Validate price data
This capability checks your price arrays to confirm they are structured correctly for indicator calculations. It tells you right away if your data is good to use.
02
Calculate adx indicators
Use this capability to calculate the core ADX, plus directional index (+DI), and minus directional index (-DI) across a full set of price data.
03
Get latest adx summary
This capability retrieves the most recent trend analysis summary from a set of price data, giving you the current trend state.

Real work

What teams actually run

Identifying Trend Reversals

When you suspect a trend is fading, run the full calculation to see if the ADX value drops, signaling potential weakness.

Checking Entry Points

Before placing a trade, use the latest summary to confirm if the current market state has sufficient directional bias.

Backtesting Strategies

Feed historical price data and calculate the full ADX series to test how well your indicator works over time.

Data Integrity Checks

If you're pulling data from multiple sources, use the price data validation capability to ensure consistency.

One connector, every AI

ADX-Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ADX-Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
