Using ADX to Confirm Chart Timeframe Trends
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength and helps confirm whether a market is trending strongly enough to justify a trade.
How to configure:
- Enable the ADX option under Chart Timeframe Filters.
- Trades will only execute when the ADX value exceeds a predefined level (e.g., 21).
Example:
- Enable ADX to ensure trades are only taken in strong trending conditions.
- Pair with an EMA filter to confirm both trend direction and strength.
Tips:
- Use ADX in volatile markets to avoid trades during weak trends.
- Combine ADX with other indicators for a well-rounded filtering strategy.
