Adx Cci Strategy

Strategy based on ADX and CCI indicators. Enters long when ADX > 25 and CCI is oversold (< -100) Enters short when ADX > 25 and CCI is overbought (> 100)

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 97%. It performs best in the crypto market.

ADX assesses whether a trend has strength and CCI identifies entry timing after pullbacks. Longs and shorts follow the ADX direction.

Geared toward momentum traders entering on retracements. ATR multiples manage risk.
