Trend Type Indicator Strategy

Trend Type Indicator detects market regime using ATR and ADX. It goes long during uptrends, short during downtrends and exits when conditions turn sideways.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: +DI greater than -DI and not sideways
  • Long/Short: Both
  • Exit Criteria: Opposite trend or sideways
  • Stops: No
  • Default Values:
    • UseAtr = true
    • AtrLength = 14
    • AtrMaLength = 20
    • UseAdx = true
    • AdxLength = 14
    • AdxLimit = 25
    • SmoothFactor = 3
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: ATR, ADX
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday
