A dated Bitcoin example

  1. What does this reading describe?

    Higher readings describe more back-and-forth movement. Lower readings describe a more direct path, whether price rose or fell.

  2. How is it calculated?

    For 14 candles, take log10(sum of true ranges / total high-low range), divide by log10(14), and multiply by 100.

    Shared calculation conventions

  3. What does a worked example look like?

    A window that repeatedly retraces the same range accumulates more true range than a window that travels across it once. Its choppiness reading is therefore higher.

  4. What does this mean for you?

    This is a context measure, not a direction vote. A reading can change sharply when an old extreme leaves the rolling window.

How does it compare?

Choppiness compares distance travelled with overall range. ADX compares smoothed directional movements. Neither strength reading alone identifies upward direction.
