Sorry for how long this has taken. We finally had a chance to review. The difference in the ADX calculation referenced by the statement The Directional Indicators are calculated slightly differently here, as shown below is simply that rather than use a value of 0 when the denominator of the DI+ or DI- is 0 it uses a value of 100. This would not have any major impact on what you see overall in the ADX calculation.

Overall, the calculations follow the original Wells Wilder algorithm. The only thing we can think of as to why you may see differences from other systems is that there are a few Moving Average calculations being performed and each system may be using a different Moving Average algorithm. In the case of Sierra Chart, it is using the Moving Average - Simple Skip Zeros.
