How to Calculate?

1) Calculate Today's High - Yesterday's High say A
2) Calculate Today's Low - Yesterday's Low say B
3) TempDM+ = A if A>0 otherwise it's 0
4) TempDM- = B if B>0 otherwise it's 0
5) Calculate EMA(14) of A say AA
6) Calculate EMA(14) of B say BB
7) Calcu8late Today's High - Today's Low say X
8) Calculate Today's High - Yesterday's Close say Y
9) Calculate Yesterday's Close - Today's Low say Z
10) TR = Max of( X, Y, Z )
11) Calculate EMA(14) of TR say ETR
12) DM+ = (AA/ETR)*100
13) DM- = (BB/ETR)*100
14) DMI = ((DM+ - DM-)/(DM+ + DM-))*100
15) ADX = EMA(14) of DMI

Note : Here EMA you have to calculate by using Yesterday EMA(14) - Yesterday EMA(14)/14 + Today's TR or Today's DM+ or Today's DM-
