# AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating (interface)

The Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR) measures the strength of the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX). It's calculated by taking the average of the current ADX and the ADX from one time period before.

Environments: Desktop supported · CLI supported · Cloud supported.

## Definition

```csharp
public interface AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating
```

## Examples

C#:

```csharp
var adxr = Indicators.AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(14);
Print("ADXR: {0}, +DI: {1}, -DI: {2}", adxr.ADXR.Last(1), adxr.DIPlus.Last(1), adxr.DIMinus.Last(1));
```

Python:

```python
adxr = api.Indicators.AverageDirectionalMovementIndexRating(14)
api.Print(f"ADXR: {adxr.ADXR.Last(1)}, +DI: {adxr.DIPlus.Last(1)}, -DI: {adxr.DIMinus.Last(1)}")
```
