ColorXADX

Strategy based on the crossing of +DI and -DI lines confirmed by ADX strength.

The system monitors the Directional Movement indicators. When +DI crosses above -DI with the Average Directional Index exceeding a set threshold, it enters a long position and exits any existing short. Conversely, a bearish cross (-DI above +DI) with strong ADX opens a short and closes longs. Stop-loss and take-profit levels are applied to manage risk.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: +DI/-DI cross with ADX above threshold.
  • Long/Short: Both directions.
  • Exit Criteria: Opposite signal or stop levels.
  • Stops: Yes, fixed stop-loss and take-profit.
  • Default Values:
    • AdxPeriod = 14
    • AdxThreshold = 30m
    • StopLoss = 1000
    • TakeProfit = 2000
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromHours(4)
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: ADX, DMI
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Swing (4h)
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
