ADX from template not quite symmetrical even when it's correct in OppositeBlocks file

For some reason 80 negated to 20 on this non directional indicator. It's weird because I thought it was working right in builder but in this case from template it did not work right. The numbers should both be the same.

LongEntrySignal = ((Candle pattern 1 bars back is Bullish Engulfing
   and (DeMarker(Main chart,34)[1] is falling))
   and (ADX(Main chart,14) < 80));

ShortEntrySignal = ((Candle pattern 1 bars back is Bearish Engulfing
   and (DeMarker(Main chart,34)[1] is rising))
   and (ADX(Main chart,14) < 20));

LongExitSignal = false;

ShortExitSignal = false;

eng3 is the template and bugadx is a bugged strat.

ADX is defined as an oscillator, so it negates like this.

It seems it is a mistake, it shouldn't be an oscillator. This cannot be modified in OppositeBlocks file, we would have to modify definition of snippet.

It is a mistake, ADX is not an oscillator.
