This strategy is named “Trend Reversal Strategy Based on ADX Indicator”. It uses the ADX indicator to gauge trend strength and capture reversal opportunities when overbought/oversold.
ADX stands for Average Directional Index, reflecting the strength of a trend. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. ADX above 25 suggests a significant trend is present.
DMI includes DI+ and DI- lines. DI+ above DI- shows an uptrend, while DI- above DI+ flags a downtrend.
The trading logic is:
When ADX is above 45, the trend is considered very steep.
If DI+ is below DI- then, it signals an oversold state and trend reversal opportunity, going long.
Conversely, if DI- is below DI+, it suggests overbought conditions and reversal opportunity for going short.
Take profit timely after reversal.
The advantage is using ADX to determine strong trend reversal points. High ADX values filter out false signals from ranging markets effectively. But ADX parameters need optimization, and stop loss is also important.
In conclusion, ADX is adept at gauging strong trend reversal timing. But traders still need to watch more factors, using ADX as just one supplementary indicator.
