Fortuna Trend Predictor**Fortuna Trend Predictor**
### Overview
**Fortuna Trend Predictor** is a powerful trend analysis tool that combines multiple technical indicators to estimate trend strength, volatility, and probability of price movement direction. This indicator is designed to help traders identify potential trend shifts and confirm trade setups with improved accuracy.
### Key Features
- **Trend Strength Analysis**: Uses the difference between short-term and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) to determine trend strength.
- **Directional Strength via ADX**: Calculates the Average Directional Index (ADX) manually to measure the strength of the trend, regardless of its direction.
- **Probability Estimation**: Provides a probabilistic assessment of price movement direction based on trend strength.
- **Volume Confirmation**: Incorporates a volume filter that validates signals when the trading volume is above its moving average.
- **Volatility Filter**: Uses ATR to identify high-volatility conditions, helping traders avoid false signals during low-volatility periods.
- **Overbought & Oversold Levels**: Includes RSI-based horizontal reference lines to highlight potential reversal zones.
### Indicator Components
1. **ATR (Average True Range)**: Measures market volatility and serves as a denominator to normalize EMA differences.
2. **EMA (Exponential Moving Averages)**:
- **Short EMA (20-period)** - Captures short-term price movements.
- **Long EMA (50-period)** - Identifies the overall trend.
3. **Trend Strength Calculation**:
- Formula: `(Short EMA - Long EMA) / ATR`
- The higher the value, the stronger the trend.
4. **ADX Calculation**:
- Computes +DI and -DI manually to generate ADX values.
- Higher ADX indicates a stronger trend.
5. **Volume Filter**:
- Compares current volume to a 20-period moving average.
- Signals are more reliable when volume exceeds its average.
6. **Volatility Filter**:
- Detects whether ATR is above its own moving average, multiplied by a user-defined threshold.
7. **Probability Plot**:
- Formula: `50 + 50 * (Trend Strength / (1 + abs(Trend Strength)))`
- Values range from 0 to 100, indicating potential movement direction.
### How to Use
- When **Probability Line is above 70**, the trend is strong and likely to continue.
- When **Probability Line is below 30**, the trend is weak or possibly reversing.
- A rising **ADX** confirms strong trends, while a falling ADX suggests consolidation.
- Combine with price action and other confirmation tools for best results.
### Notes
- This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals but serves as a decision-support tool.
- Works best on higher timeframes (H1 and above) to filter out noise.

ADX for BTC [PineIndicators]The ADX Strategy for BTC is a trend-following system that uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to determine market strength and momentum shifts. Designed for Bitcoin trading, this strategy applies a customizable ADX threshold to confirm trend signals and optionally filters entries using a Simple Moving Average (SMA). The system features automated entry and exit conditions, dynamic trade visualization, and built-in trade tracking for historical performance analysis.
⚙️ Core Strategy Components
1️⃣ Average Directional Index (ADX) Calculation
The ADX indicator measures trend strength without indicating direction. It is derived from the Positive Directional Movement (+DI) and Negative Directional Movement (-DI):
+DI (Positive Directional Index): Measures upward price movement.
-DI (Negative Directional Index): Measures downward price movement.
ADX Value: Higher values indicate stronger trends, regardless of direction.
This strategy uses a default ADX length of 14 to smooth out short-term fluctuations while detecting sustainable trends.
2️⃣ SMA Filter (Optional Trend Confirmation)
The strategy includes a 200-period SMA filter to validate trend direction before entering trades. If enabled:
✅ Long Entry is only allowed when price is above a long-term SMA multiplier (5x the standard SMA length).
✅ If disabled, the strategy only considers the ADX crossover threshold for trade entries.
This filter helps reduce entries in sideways or weak-trend conditions, improving signal reliability.
📌 Trade Logic & Conditions
🔹 Long Entry Conditions
A buy signal is triggered when:
✅ ADX crosses above the threshold (default = 14), indicating a strengthening trend.
✅ (If SMA filter is enabled) Price is above the long-term SMA multiplier.
🔻 Exit Conditions
A position is closed when:
✅ ADX crosses below the stop threshold (default = 45), signaling trend weakening.
By adjusting the entry and exit ADX levels, traders can fine-tune sensitivity to trend changes.
📏 Trade Visualization & Tracking
Trade Markers
"Buy" label (▲) appears when a long position is opened.
"Close" label (▼) appears when a position is exited.
Trade History Boxes
Green if a trade is profitable.
Red if a trade closes at a loss.
Trend Tracking Lines
Horizontal lines mark entry and exit prices.
A filled trade box visually represents trade duration and profitability.
These elements provide clear visual insights into trade execution and performance.
⚡ How to Use This Strategy
1️⃣ Apply the script to a BTC chart in TradingView.
2️⃣ Adjust ADX entry/exit levels based on trend sensitivity.
3️⃣ Enable or disable the SMA filter for trend confirmation.
4️⃣ Backtest performance to analyze historical trade execution.
5️⃣ Monitor trade markers and history boxes for real-time trend insights.
This strategy is designed for trend traders looking to capture high-momentum market conditions while filtering out weak trends.
ADX with Moving AverageADX with Moving Average is a powerful indicator that enhances trend analysis by combining the standard Average Directional Index (ADX) with a configurable moving average.
The ADX helps traders identify the strength of a trend. In general:
ADX 0-20 – Absent or Weak Trend
ADX 25-50 – Strong Trend
ADX 50-75 – Very Strong Trend
ADX 75-100 – Extremely Strong Trend
By adding a moving average we can judge if the ADX itself is trending upwards or downwards, i.e. if a new trend is emerging or an existing one is weakening.
This combination allows traders to better confirm strong trends and filter out weak or choppy market conditions.
Key Features & Customization:
✔ Configurable DI & ADX Lengths – Adjust how quickly the ADX reacts to price movements (default: 14, 14).
✔ Multiple Moving Average Options – Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or T3 for trend confirmation.
✔ Custom MA Length – Fine-tune the sensitivity of the moving average to match your strategy.
🔹 Use this indicator to confirm strong trends before entering trades, filter out false signals, or refine existing strategies with a dynamic trend-strength component. 🚀
Crypto Scanner v4This guide explains a version 6 Pine Script that scans a user-provided list of cryptocurrency tokens to identify high probability tradable opportunities using several technical indicators. The script combines trend, momentum, and volume-based analyses to generate potential buying or selling signals, and it displays the results in a neatly formatted table with alerts for trading setups. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the script’s design, how traders can interpret its outputs, and recommendations for optimizing indicator inputs across different timeframes.
## Overview and Key Components
The script is designed to help traders assess multiple tokens by calculating several indicators for each one. The key components include:
- **Input Settings:**
- A comma-separated list of symbols to scan.
- Adjustable parameters for technical indicators such as ADX, RSI, MFI, and a custom Wave Trend indicator.
- Options to enable alerts and set update frequencies.
- **Indicator Calculations:**
- **ADX (Average Directional Index):** Measures trend strength. A value above the provided threshold indicates a strong trend, which is essential for validating momentum before entering a trade.
- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):** Helps determine overbought or oversold conditions. When the RSI is below the oversold level, it may present a buying opportunity, while an overbought condition (not explicitly part of this setup) could suggest selling.
- **MFI (Money Flow Index):** Similar in concept to RSI but incorporates volume, thus assessing buying and selling pressure. Values below the designated oversold threshold indicate potential undervaluation.
- **Wave Trend:** A custom indicator that calculates two components (WT1 and WT2); a crossover where WT1 moves from below to above WT2 (particularly near oversold levels) may signal a reversal and a potential entry point.
- **Scanning and Trading Zone:**
- The script identifies a *bullish setup* when the following conditions are met for a token:
- ADX exceeds the threshold (strong trend).
- Both RSI and MFI are below their oversold levels (indicating potential buying opportunities).
- A Wave Trend crossover confirms near-term reversal dynamics.
- A *trading zone* condition is also defined by specific ranges for ADX, RSI, MFI, and a limited difference between WT1 and WT2. This zone suggests that the token might be in a consolidation phase where even small moves may be significant.
- **Alerts and Table Reporting:**
- A table is generated, with each row corresponding to a token. The table contains columns for the symbol, ADX, RSI, MFI, WT1, WT2, and the trading zone status.
- Visual cues—such as different background colors—highlight tokens with a bullish setup or that are within the trading zone.
- Alerts are issued based on the detection of a bullish setup or entry into a trading zone. These alerts are limited per bar to avoid flooding the trader with notifications.
## How to Interpret the Indicator Outputs
Traders should use the indicator values as guidance, verifying them against their own analysis before making any trading decision. Here’s how to assess each output:
- **ADX:**
- **High values (above threshold):** Indicate strong trends. If other indicators confirm an oversold condition, a trader may consider a long position for a corrective reversal.
- **Low values:** Suggest that the market is not trending strongly, and caution should be taken when considering entry.
- **RSI and MFI:**
- **Below oversold levels:** These conditions are traditionally seen as signals that an asset is undervalued, potentially triggering a bounce.
- **Above typical resistance levels (not explicitly used here):** Would normally caution a trader against entering a long position.
- **Wave Trend (WT1 and WT2):**
- A crossover where WT1 moves upward above WT2 in an oversold environment can signal the beginning of a recovery or reversal, thereby reinforcing buy signals.
- **Trading Zone:**
- Being “in zone” means that the asset’s current values for ADX, RSI, MFI, and the closeness of the Wave Trend lines indicate a period of consolidation. This scenario might be suitable for both short-term scalping or as an early exit indicator, depending on further market analysis.
## Timeframe Optimization Input Table
Traders can optimize indicator inputs depending on the timeframe they use. The following table provides a set of recommended input values for various timeframes. These values are suggestions and should be adjusted based on market conditions and individual trading styles.
Timeframe ADX RSI MFI ADX RSI MFI WT Channel WT Average
5-min 10 10 10 20 30 20 7 15
15-min 12 12 12 22 30 20 9 18
1-hour 14 14 14 25 30 20 10 21
4-hour 16 16 16 27 30 20 12 24
1-day 18 18 18 30 30 20 14 28
Adjust these parameters directly in the script’s input settings to match the selected timeframe. For shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-min or 15-min), the shorter lengths help filter high-frequency noise. For longer timeframes (e.g., 1-day), longer input values may reduce false signals and capture more significant trends.
## Best Practices and Usage Tips
- **Token Limit:**
- Limit the number of tokens scanned to 10 per query line. If you need to scan more tokens, initiate a new query line. This helps manage screen real estate and ensures the table remains legible.
- **Confirming Signals:**
- Use this script as a starting point for identifying high potential trades. Each indicator’s output should be used to confirm your trading decision. Always cross-reference with additional technical analysis tools or market context.
- **Regular Review:**
- Since the script updates the table every few bars (as defined by the update frequency), review the table and alerts regularly. Market conditions change rapidly, so timely decisions are crucial.
## Conclusion
This Pine Script provides a comprehensive approach for scanning multiple cryptocurrencies using a combination of trend strength (ADX), momentum (RSI and MFI), and reversal signals (Wave Trend). By using the provided recommendation table for different timeframes and limiting the tokens to 20 per query line (with a maximum of four query lines), traders can streamline their scanning process and more effectively identify high probability tradable tokens. Ultimately, the outputs should be critically evaluated and combined with additional market research before executing any trades.

Trend Strength & Direction📌 Assumptions of the "Trend Strength & Direction" Model
This model is designed to measure both trend strength and trend direction, using a modified version of the ADX (Average Directional Index) while also identifying ranging markets. Below is a detailed breakdown of all key assumptions.
1️⃣ Using ADX as the Basis for Trend Strength
Why ADX?
The ADX (Average Directional Index) is one of the most commonly used indicators for measuring trend strength, regardless of direction.
How is it calculated?
ATR (Average True Range) is used to normalize volatility.
Directional movement (+DM and -DM) is smoothed with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the +DI (Positive Directional Indicator) and -DI (Negative Directional Indicator).
Trend strength is derived by normalizing the absolute difference between +DI and -DI, divided by the sum of both.
🔹 Assumption: A high ADX means the trend is strong (whether bullish or bearish).
2️⃣ 50-Period Moving Average for Trend Strength
Why add a moving average?
ADX can be very volatile in the short term.
A 50-period SMA (Simple Moving Average) is used to smooth out trend strength and identify sustained trends.
🔹 Assumption: The SMA reduces false signals caused by short-term ADX spikes.
3️⃣ Identifying a Ranging Market (ADX Below 35)
How is a ranging market defined?
If the trend strength (ADX) is below 35, the market is considered "ranging".
The 35-level threshold is chosen empirically since ADX values below this level often indicate a lack of strong price direction.
When the market is ranging, the background color turns yellow.
🔹 Assumption: ADX < 35 indicates a sideways market, so the indicator colors the background yellow.
4️⃣ Determining Trend Direction Using +DI and -DI
How is direction determined?
If +DI > -DI, the trend is bullish (green).
If -DI > +DI, the trend is bearish (red).
If ADX is below 35, the market is ranging and turns yellow.
🔹 Assumption: Trend direction is determined by the relationship between +DI and -DI, not ADX values.
5️⃣ Background Color to Highlight Market Conditions
Yellow background if ADX < 35 → Ranging market.
Green background if ADX ≥ 35 and bullish.
Red background if ADX ≥ 35 and bearish.
🔹 Assumption: The background color visually differentiates trending vs. ranging phases.
6️⃣ Reference Levels for ADX
Lateral Threshold (35) → Below this, the trend is weak or ranging.
Neutral Threshold (50) → Intermediate level indicating moderate trend strength.
Strong Trend Threshold (75) → Above this, the trend is very strong and possibly overextended.
🔹 Assumption: ADX above 75 indicates a very strong trend, potentially near exhaustion.
🔹 Summary of Key Assumptions
1️⃣ ADX is the core strength metric → Strong trends when ADX > 35, weak below 35.
2️⃣ The 50-period SMA smooths out volatility → Prevents false signals.
3️⃣ Ranging markets are defined as ADX < 35 → Yellow background color.

ADX-DMIThis script manually calculates the Directional Movement Index (DMI) and the Average Directional Index (ADX) using Wilder’s smoothing technique. The DMI indicators are used to assess the strength and direction of a market trend. It includes three main lines: ADX (yellow), DI+ (green), and DI− (red). Traders use these indicators to determine whether a trend is strong and in which direction it is moving.
The process begins by defining the length parameter, which determines how many periods are considered in the calculation. It then calculates the True Range (TR), which is the greatest of three values: the difference between the current high and low, the difference between the current high and the previous close, and the difference between the current low and the previous close. This TR is used to compute the Average True Range (ATR), which smooths out price fluctuations to get a clearer picture of the market’s volatility. Next, the script calculates the +DM (positive directional movement) and -DM (negative directional movement) based on the changes in the highs and lows from one period to the next.
Finally, the script computes the DI+ and DI− values by dividing the smoothed +DM and -DM by the ATR and multiplying by 100 to express them as percentages. The DX value is calculated as the absolute difference between DI+ and DI−, normalized by the sum of both values. The ADX is then derived by smoothing the DX value over the specified length. The three indicators — ADX, DI+, and DI− — are plotted in the lower chart panel, providing traders with visual cues about the trend’s direction (DI+ and DI−) and strength (ADX).

TASC 2024.12 Dynamic ADX Histogram█ OVERVIEW
This script introduces a new version of the ADX oscillator, designed by Neil Jon Harrington and featured in the "Revisualizing The ADX Oscillator" article from the December 2024 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips .
█ CONCEPTS
The directional movement index (DMI+ and DMI−) and average directional index (ADX) indicators have long been popular with technical analysts. Developed by J. Welles Wilder in the 1970s, these indicators provide information about the direction and strength of price movements across bars. The DMI+ measures positive price movement, the DMI- measures negative price movement, and the ADX gauges the average strength of price trends. Although these indicators can provide helpful insights into price action and momentum, Neil Jon Harrington argues they are often misunderstood or misapplied.
Harrington's indicator, the Dynamic ADX Histogram (DADX), applies directional information to the ADX based on DMI+ and DMI- values to create a single oscillator centered around 0. The indicator displays the oscillator as a histogram with dynamic colors based on ADX movements and user-defined strength thresholds. The author believes this modification of the ADX and DMI data offers a more intuitive visualization of the information provided by Wilder's calculations.
An additional feature of the DADX is the option to use average (smooth) DMI+ and DMI- values in the oscillator's calculation, which reduces noise and choppiness at the cost of added lag.
█ USAGE
The "ADX Length" input determines the number of bars in the DMI and ADX calculation. The "DMI Smoothing Length" input controls the number of bars in the DMI smoothing calculation. Use a value of 1 for non-smoothed DMI data.
The sign of the DADX indicates the direction of price movements based on the difference between the smoothed DMI+ and DMI- values. The absolute value of the oscillator corresponds to the ADX, representing the trend strength.
The "Low Threshold" and "High Threshold" inputs define the ADX thresholds for categorizing trending, non-trending, and exhaustion states. The low threshold specifies the minimum absolute oscillator value required to indicate a trend, and the high threshold marks the absolute value where trend strength is excessive, possibly suggesting an upcoming consolidation or reversal. The indicator colors the histogram based on these thresholds and changes in the ADX, with brighter colors denoting a strengthening trend and darker colors signaling a weakening trend.

DMI Delta by 0xjcfOverview
This indicator integrates the Directional Movement Index (DMI), Average Directional Index (ADX), and volume analysis into an Oscillator designed to help traders identify divergence-based trading signals. Unlike typical volume or momentum indicators, this combination provides insight into directional momentum and volume intensity, allowing traders to make well-informed decisions based on multiple facets of market behavior.
Purpose and How Components Work Together
By combining DMI and ADX with volume analysis, this indicator helps traders detect when momentum diverges from price action—a common precursor to potential reversals or significant moves. The ADX filter enhances this by distinguishing trending from range-bound conditions, while volume analysis highlights moments of extreme sentiment, such as solid buying or selling. Together, these elements provide traders with a comprehensive view of market strength, directional bias, and volume surges, which help filter out weaker signals.
Key Features
DMI Delta and Oscillator: The DMI indicator measures directional movement by comparing DI+ and DI- values. This difference (DMI Delta) is calculated and displayed as a histogram, visualizing changes in directional bias. When combined with ADX filtering, this histogram helps traders gauge the strength of momentum and spot directional shifts early. For instance, a rising histogram in a bearish price trend might signal a potential bullish reversal.
Volume Analysis with Extremes: Volume is monitored to reveal when market participation is unusually high, using a customizable multiplier to highlight significant volume spikes. These extreme levels are color-coded directly on the histogram, providing visual cues on whether buying or selling interest is particularly strong. Volume analysis adds depth to the directional insights from DMI, allowing traders to differentiate between regular and powerful moves.
ADX Trending Filter: The ADX component filters trends by measuring the overall strength of a price move, with a default threshold of 25. When ADX is above this level, it suggests that the market is trending strongly, making the DMI Delta readings more reliable. Below this threshold, the market is likely range-bound, cautioning traders that signals might not have as much follow-through.
Using the Indicator in Divergence Strategies
This indicator excels in divergence strategies by highlighting moments when price action diverges from directional momentum. Here’s how it aids in decision-making:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is falling to new lows while the DMI Delta histogram rises, it can indicate weakening bearish momentum and signal a potential price reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: Conversely, if prices are climbing but the DMI Delta histogram falls, it may point to waning bullish momentum, suggesting a bearish reversal.
Visual Cues and Customization
The color-coded output enhances usability:
Bright Green/Red: Extreme volume with strong bullish or bearish signals, often at points of high potential for trend continuation or reversal.
Green/Red Shades: These shades reflect trending conditions (bullish or bearish) based on ADX, factoring in volume. Green signals a bullish trend, and red is a bearish trend.
Blue/Orange Shades: Indicates non-trending or weaker conditions, suggesting a more cautious approach in range-bound markets.
Customizable for Diverse Trading Styles
This indicator allows users to adjust settings like the ADX threshold and volume multiplier to optimize performance for various timeframes and strategies. Whether a trader prefers swing trading or intraday scalping, these parameters enable fine-tuning to enhance signal reliability across different market contexts.
Practical Usage Tips
Entry and Exit Signals: Use this indicator in conjunction with price action. Divergences between the price and DMI Delta histogram can reinforce entry or exit decisions.
Adjust Thresholds: Based on backtesting, customize the ADX Trending Threshold and Volume Multiplier to ensure optimal performance on different timeframes or trading styles.
In summary, this indicator is tailored for traders seeking a multi-dimensional approach to market analysis. It blends momentum, trend strength, and volume insights to support divergence-based strategies, helping traders confidently make informed decisions. Remember to validate signals through backtesting and use it alongside price action for the best results.

ADX Trend Strength Analyzer█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Average Directional Index (ADX), a powerful tool used to measure the strength of market trends. It works alongside the Directional Movement Index (DMI), which breaks down the directional market pressure into bullish (+DI) and bearish (-DI) components. The purpose of the ADX is to indicate when the market is in a strong trend, without specifying the direction. This indicator can be especially useful for identifying market trends early and validating trading strategies based on trend-following systems.
The ADX component in this script is based on two key parameters:
ADX Smoothing Length (adxlen), which determines the degree of smoothing for the trend strength.
DI Length (dilen), which defines the look-back period for calculating the directional index values.
Additionally, a horizontal line is plotted at the 30 level, providing a widely used threshold that signifies when a trend is considered strong (above 30).
█ CONCEPTS
Directional Movement (DM): The core idea behind this indicator is the calculation of price movement in terms of bullish and bearish forces. By evaluating the change in highs and lows, the script distinguishes between bullish movement (+DM) and bearish movement (-DM). These values are normalized by dividing them by the True Range (TR), creating the +DI and -DI values.
True Range (TR): The True Range is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) formula, and it serves to smooth out volatility, ensuring that short-term fluctuations don't distort the long-term trend signal.
ADX Calculation: The ADX is derived from the absolute difference between the +DI and -DI. By smoothing this difference and normalizing it, the ADX is able to measure the overall strength of the trend without regard to whether the market is moving up or down. A rising ADX indicates increasing trend strength, while a falling ADX signals weakening trends.
█ METHODOLOGY
Directional Movement Calculation: The script first determines the upward and downward price movement by comparing changes in the high and low prices. If the upward movement is greater than the downward movement, it registers a bullish signal and vice versa for bearish movement.
True Range Adjustment: The script then applies a smoothing function to normalize these movements by dividing them by the True Range (ATR). This ensures that the trend signal is based on relative, rather than absolute, price movements.
ADX Signal Generation: The final step is to calculate the ADX by applying the Relative Moving Average (RMA) to the difference between +DI and -DI. This produces the ADX value, which is plotted in red, making it easy to visualize shifts in market momentum.
Threshold Line: A blue horizontal line is plotted at 30, which serves as a key reference point. When the ADX is above this line, it indicates a strong trend, whether bullish or bearish.
█ HOW TO USE
Trend Strength: Traders typically use the 30 level as a critical threshold. When the ADX is above 30, it signifies a strong trend, making it a favorable environment for trend-following strategies. Conversely, ADX values below 30 suggest a weak or non-trending market.
+DI and -DI Relationship: The indicator also provides insight into whether the trend is bullish or bearish. When +DI is greater than -DI, the market is considered bullish. When -DI is greater than +DI, the market is considered bearish. While this script focuses on the ADX value itself, the underlying +DI and -DI help interpret the trend direction.
Market Conditions: This indicator is effective in trending markets, but not ideal for choppy or sideways conditions. Traders can use it to determine the best entry and exit points when trends are strong, or to avoid trading in periods of low volatility.
Combining with Other Indicators: The ADX is commonly used in conjunction with oscillators like RSI or moving averages, to confirm the trend strength and avoid false signals.
█ METHOD VARIANTS
This script applies the standard approach for calculating the ADX, but could be adapted with the following variants:
Different Timeframes: The script could be modified to calculate ADX values across higher or lower timeframes, depending on the trader's strategy.
Custom Thresholds: Instead of using the default 30 threshold, traders could adjust the horizontal line to suit their own risk tolerance or market conditions.
RSI 15/60 and ADX PlotIn this script, the buy and sell criteria are based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) values calculated for two different timeframes: the 15-minute RSI and the hourly RSI. These timeframes are used together to check signals when certain thresholds are crossed, providing confirmation across both short-term and longer-term momentum.
Buy Criteria:
Condition 1:
Hourly RSI > 60: This means the longer-term momentum shows strength.
15-minute RSI crosses above 60: This shows that the shorter-term momentum is catching up and confirms increasing strength.
Condition 2:
15-minute RSI > 60: This indicates that the short-term trend is already strong.
Hourly RSI crosses above 60: This confirms that the longer-term trend is also gaining strength.
Both conditions aim to capture the moments when the market shows increasing strength across both short and long timeframes, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Criteria:
Condition 1:
Hourly RSI < 40: This indicates that the longer-term trend is weakening.
15-minute RSI crosses below 40: The short-term momentum is also turning down, confirming the weakening trend.
Condition 2:
15-minute RSI < 40: The short-term trend is already weak.
Hourly RSI crosses below 40: The longer-term trend is now confirming the weakness, indicating a potential sell.
These conditions work to identify when the market is showing weakness in both short-term and long-term timeframes, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
ADX Confirmation :
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is a key tool for measuring the strength of a trend. It can be used alongside the RSI to confirm whether a buy or sell signal is occurring in a strong trend or during market consolidation. Here's how ADX can be integrated:
ADX > 25: This indicates a strong trend. Using this threshold, you can confirm buy or sell signals when there is a strong upward or downward movement in the market.
Buy Example: If a buy signal (RSI > 60) is triggered and the ADX is above 25, this confirms that the market is in a strong uptrend, making the buy signal more reliable.
Sell Example: If a sell signal (RSI < 40) is triggered and the ADX is above 25, it confirms a strong downtrend, validating the sell signal.
ADX < 25: This suggests a weak or non-existent trend. In this case, RSI signals might be less reliable since the market could be moving sideways.
Final Approach:
The RSI criteria help identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in both short and long timeframes.
The ADX confirmation ensures that the signals generated are happening during strong trends, increasing the likelihood of successful trades by filtering out weak or choppy market conditions.
This combination of RSI and ADX can help traders make more informed decisions by ensuring both momentum and trend strength align before entering or exiting trades.
