Overview

A trend strategy that uses ADX to gate entries by trend strength and the DI+/DI- crossover for direction. It only trades when ADX confirms a strong, developing trend, avoiding the low-conviction chop where directional systems bleed.

Features

• ADX(14) with DI+ and DI-
• EMA50 (directional confirmation)
• ATR(14)
• Configurable stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing logic
• Session, spread, and news-time filters for disciplined execution
• One-trade-per-bar / duplicate-signal protection
• Clean, single-file MQL4 and MQL5 implementations
• No hidden logic — every input is exposed and documented
• No martingale, no grid, no hidden recovery logic

Trading Strategy

Entry logic: – Long: ADX(14) > 25 and rising, DI+ crosses above DI-, price > EMA50. Enter on candle close.

• Short: ADX(14) > 25 and rising, DI- crosses above DI+, price < EMA50.

Exit logic: – Exit when ADX falls below 20 (trend fading) or when DI lines cross back against the position.

Stop-loss: SL at 2 × ATR(14) from entry or beyond the last swing, whichever is tighter.

Take-profit: TP at 3R; keep a runner exited via ADX-fade rule.

Trailing stop: Trail at 2.5 × ATR (Chandelier) once ADX stays above 25.

Break-even: Break-even at 1R.

Why it works: Filters out weak, choppy conditions.; Combines strength and direction cleanly..
