I think the options you have right now is to make a bot to use adx and draw a line or text at a specified location when it is above 20.

RE:

You can do it like this:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        private DirectionalMovementSystem adx;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            adx = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(yourPeriod);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            if (adx.ADX.LastValue > 20)
            {
                ChartObjects.DrawText("Alert", "ADX above 20!", StaticPosition.BottomLeft, Colors.Yellow);
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank you so much for writing it. I appreciate it. Is it easy to learn c# for cTrader Algo only?

Learn just what you need and you are going to be fine.

Spotware has made cAlgo user friendly, so there is no need to have extensive knowledge about C#, to deal with basics.

Actually this needs one more thing to work. Now it is complete:

using System;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = true, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewIndicator : Indicator
    {
        private DirectionalMovementSystem adx;

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            adx = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(14);
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            if (!IsLastBar)
                return;

            if (adx.ADX.LastValue > 20)
            {
                ChartObjects.RemoveObject("Alert");
                ChartObjects.DrawText("Alert", "ADX above 20!", StaticPosition.BottomLeft, Colors.Yellow);
            }
        }
    }
}
