ADX DI

Strategy based on ADX and Directional Movement indicators

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 103%. It performs best in the stocks market.

ADX DI focuses on the crossing of +DI and -DI with rising ADX. A bullish cross of +DI over -DI coupled with strong ADX opens longs, while the opposite opens shorts. Positions close on a weakening ADX or opposite cross.

This combination helps avoid trading every DI cross by demanding confirmation from the ADX. The system aims to capture sustainable trends rather than short-term swings.
