ADX Trend Strength
Filters for strong trends: only buys when ADX confirms strength and +DI leads, sells when -DI takes over.
Entry Logic
Buy when ADX(14) >25 and +DI crosses above -DI — a strong uptrend is confirmed.
Exit Logic
Sell when +DI crosses below -DI — bearish dominance returns.
How Rules Combine
DX = 100×|DI+ - DI-|/(DI+ + DI-), ADX = Wilder average of DX. High ADX means strong trend regardless of direction; DI cross gives direction.
When It Works (Market Edge)
Avoiding sideways markets: requiring ADX >25 filters out ranges where breakouts fail.
When It Fails
Late trend entries: by the time ADX climbs above 25, the move may already be mature and near exhaustion.
Common Myths
Myth: High ADX means buy.
Truth: High ADX only means a strong trend exists; if -DI > +DI the trend is down, not up.
