Here is a one year chart of the $SPX again. I put on the ADX (+D1 & -D1) on the chart below. What exactly are you looking for on this indicator?

Your 6 month chart yesterday with the ADX overlaid made it difficult to see.
This chart shows it more clearly. I am looking for the +DI (green) to cross above the -DI (red), assuming we are talking about buying. The opposite if we are selling.
Also, the ADX (black) is turning up and continuing up. At some point, it will turn down, which indicates that the trend is weakening but as long as the green line is above the ADX line, it is still bullish until the ADX line rolls over and the red line crosses above the ADX and then above the green line. Then if the ADX turns up, along with the red line going up, it is bearish. In this example the ADX rolled over just around the end of December which did lead to a trading range until the green line crossed above it again and basically stayed above it until early April when it turned down decisively along with the red line crossing above it and then crossing above the green line. This was followed by the ADX turning up as the green line crossed below it. I showed the two major buy and sell signals in the green and red boxes on the ADX portion of the I sent on Monday. Here it is again:

The gradual down trend in the ADX since about mid-February indicated that the trend was not as strong but the market was still able to continue up, as long as the green line was above it. This is actually a divergence just like the RSI’s were showing divergences. I could probably have left out these vertical lines since they were not helpful as long as the trend line was still intact.
Hope that makes sense but I could understand if this is just too confusing.
