ADX is used to quantify trend strength. ADX calculations are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a given period of time. The default setting is 14 bars, although other time periods can be used. ADX can be used on any trading vehicle such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and futures.
Many traders will use ADX readings above 25 to suggest that the trend is strong enough for trend-trading strategies. Conversely, when ADX is below 25, many will avoid trend-trading strategies

The ADX indicator does not show you the direction of a trend, but shows you the amount of trending of the price.
In that regard you can compare it with the Choppiness Index.

An ADX value above 25 is regarded as reasonable trending, and a value below 20 as ranging.
