The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength — not direction — on a 0–100 scale. A reading above 25 signals a genuinely trending stock rather than a sideways one. This scan lists NSE stocks with ADX above 25.
Trend-following strategies use ADX above 25 as a green light, filtering out choppy names so that breakout and moving-average signals have a real trend behind them.
ADX tells you a trend exists but not whether it is up or down — pair it with a directional signal (like price above a moving average) to know which way to trade.
This is a Trend scan. AlphaGrid computes it across 2,000+ NSE-listed stocks using end-of-day and intraday price data, refreshing through the trading session. Results are ranked and can be opened in the full screener, where you can add your own conditions and set alerts.
It indicates a strong trend is present. ADX measures trend strength on a 0–100 scale; readings above 25 are generally considered trending, below 20 range-bound.
No. ADX only measures how strong the trend is, not its direction. Combine it with a directional indicator to decide whether to go long or short.
