Does Anyone Know How to Get Indicator ADX W/ Smoothing Please?

[whirl 10]

On my Esignal, Ameritrade Strategydesk, stockcharts.com, among others, you can input 2 variables for ADX. The length period, and smoothing (for example, 14,10).

In multicharts, and/or Tradestation, they only let you put the length period, no place to put a smoothing #. Does anyone know how to do this for Multicharts and/or Tradestation? It seems something so simple yet, I've been searching hours and nobody seems to have an idea.

 

thank you, any help appreciated

Can you post the code you have now?

I am not sure but I belive Mark Jurik at Jurik Research offers such a product that will work in either TS or multicharts.

I found the formula for the ADX here: Investor/RT Tour - ADX (Average Directional Movement)

 

The formula for ADX is:

ADXi = [(ADX(i-1) * (n - 1)) + DXi] / n

where n = Smoothing Period

DX = [ 100 * ABS( (+DI) - (-DI) ) ] / ( (+DI) + (-DI) )

 

where i= the length

and n= the smoothing

 

TS and MultiCharts have the ADX formula, but they only allow inputing the i (length). They don't give you an option to change the n (smoothing). Does anyone know how to create the code, so you can input the n (smoothing)?
