What is fractal-adx-cloud?
Fractal-adx-cloud reorganizes the usual ADX view of ADX, +DI, and -DI into a blue ADX line with red and green histogram areas. The colors emphasize falling and rising direction more directly than three plain lines.
The display is a clearer way to inspect trend direction, not a replacement for reviewing price movement and the underlying ADX behavior.
How to use fractal-adx-cloud
Place fractal-adx-cloud in an MT5 subwindow and compare the blue line with the red or green histogram as the trend changes.
The Inputs retain the original names, including the averaging depth, normal speed, price constant, and horizontal shift. Adjust them only after observing the default display.
Where it helps
Red and green histogram areas make rising and falling movement easier to distinguish.
Keeps the main ADX line visible while presenting the directional information more clearly.
Preserves the source settings, including the non-English labels shown in the Inputs image.
