Hi. I’m trying to implement my own ADX indicator according to this topic:  
[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adx.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adx.asp)  
The problem is my values are different from what I see in deriv app website.  
I’ve found deriv app github repo but there is no ADX module (or I can’t find it):  
[https://github.com/binary-com/deriv-app](https://github.com/binary-com/deriv-app)  
Is there any way to get deriv’s function or formula to calculate ADX?

Thanks for your reply. I’ve finally fixed it. The trick was to load more candles.
