ADX + Volume Strategy### Strategy Description: ADX and Volume-Based Trading Strategy
This strategy is designed to identify strong market trends using the **Average Directional Index (ADX)** and confirm trading signals with **Volume**. The idea behind the strategy is to enter trades only when the market shows a strong trend (as indicated by ADX) and when the price movement is supported by high trading volume. This combination helps filter out weaker signals and provides more reliable entries into positions.
### Key Indicators:
1. **ADX (Average Directional Index)**:
- **Purpose**: ADX is a technical indicator that measures the strength of a trend, regardless of its direction (up or down).
- **Usage**: The strategy uses ADX to determine whether the market is trending strongly. If ADX is above a certain threshold (default is 25), it indicates that a strong trend is present.
- **Directional Indicators**:
- **DI+ (Directional Indicator Plus)**: Indicates the strength of the upward price movement.
- **DI- (Directional Indicator Minus)**: Indicates the strength of the downward price movement.
- ADX does not indicate the direction of the trend but confirms that a trend exists. DI+ and DI- are used to determine the direction.
2. **Volume**:
- **Purpose**: Volume is a key indicator for confirming the strength of a price movement. High volume suggests that a large number of market participants are supporting the movement, making it more likely to continue.
- **Usage**: The strategy compares the current volume to the 20-period moving average of the volume. The trade signal is confirmed if the current volume is greater than the average volume by a specified **Volume Multiplier** (default multiplier is 1.5). This ensures that the trade is supported by strong market participation.
### Strategy Logic:
#### **Entry Conditions:**
1. **Long Position** (Buy):
- **ADX** is above the threshold (default is 25), indicating a strong trend.
- **DI+ > DI-**, signaling that the market is trending upward.
- The **current volume** is greater than the 20-period average volume multiplied by the **Volume Multiplier** (e.g., 1.5), indicating that the upward price movement is backed by sufficient market activity.
2. **Short Position** (Sell):
- **ADX** is above the threshold (default is 25), indicating a strong trend.
- **DI- > DI+**, signaling that the market is trending downward.
- The **current volume** is greater than the 20-period average volume multiplied by the **Volume Multiplier** (e.g., 1.5), indicating that the downward price movement is backed by strong selling activity.
#### **Exit Conditions**:
- Positions are closed when the opposite signal appears:
- **For long positions**: Close when the short conditions are met (ADX still above the threshold, DI- > DI+, and the volume condition holds).
- **For short positions**: Close when the long conditions are met (ADX still above the threshold, DI+ > DI-, and the volume condition holds).
### Parameters:
- **ADX Period**: The period used to calculate ADX (default is 14). This controls how sensitive the ADX is to price movements.
- **ADX Threshold**: The minimum ADX value required for the strategy to consider the market trend as strong (default is 25). Higher values focus on stronger trends.
- **Volume Multiplier**: This parameter adjusts how much higher the current volume needs to be compared to the 20-period moving average for the signal to be valid. A value of 1.5 means the current volume must be 50% higher than the average volume.
### Example Trade Flow:
1. **Long Trade Example**:
- ADX > 25, confirming a strong trend.
- DI+ > DI-, confirming that the trend direction is upward.
- The current volume is 50% higher than the 20-period average volume (multiplied by 1.5).
- **Action**: Enter a long position.
2. **Short Trade Example**:
- ADX > 25, confirming a strong trend.
- DI- > DI+, confirming that the trend direction is downward.
- The current volume is 50% higher than the 20-period average volume.
- **Action**: Enter a short position.
### Strengths of the Strategy:
- **Trend Filtering**: The strategy ensures that trades are only taken when the market is trending strongly (confirmed by ADX) and that the price movement is supported by high volume, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
- **Volume Confirmation**: Using volume as confirmation provides an additional layer of reliability, as volume spikes often accompany sustained price moves.
- **Dual Signal Confirmation**: Both trend strength (ADX) and volume conditions must be met for a trade, making the strategy more robust.
### Weaknesses of the Strategy:
- **Limited Effectiveness in Range-Bound Markets**: Since the strategy relies on strong trends, it may underperform in sideways or non-trending markets where ADX stays below the threshold.
- **Lagging Nature of ADX**: ADX is a lagging indicator, which means that it may confirm the trend after it has already begun, potentially leading to late entries.
- **Volume Requirement**: In low-volume markets, the volume multiplier condition may not be met often, leading to fewer trade opportunities.
### Customization:
- **Adjust the ADX Threshold**: You can raise the threshold if you want to focus only on very strong trends, or lower it to capture moderate trends.
- **Adjust the Volume Multiplier**: You can change the multiplier to be more or less strict. A higher multiplier (e.g., 2.0) will require a stronger volume spike to confirm the signal, while a lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) will allow more trades with weaker volume confirmation.
### Summary:
This ADX and Volume strategy is ideal for traders who want to follow strong trends while ensuring that the trend is supported by high trading volume. By combining a trend strength filter (ADX) and volume confirmation, the strategy aims to increase the probability of entering profitable trades while reducing the number of false signals. However, it may underperform in range-bound markets or in markets with low volume.

Monthly Performance Table by Dr. MauryaWhat is this ?
This Strategy script is not aim to produce strategy results but It aim to produce monthly PnL performance Calendar table which is useful for TradingView community to generate a monthly performance table for Own strategy.
So make sure to read the disclaimer below.
Why it is required to publish?:
I am not satisfied with the monthly performance available on TV community script. Sometimes it is very lengthy in code and sometimes it showing the wrong PNL for current month.
So I have decided to develop new Monthly performance or return in value as well as in percentage with highly flexible to adjust row automatically.
Features :
Accuracy increased for current month PnL.
There are 14 columns and automatically adjusted rows according to available trade years/month.
First Column reflect the YEAR, from second column to 13 column reflect the month and 14 column reflect the yearly PnL.
In tabulated data reflects the monthly PnL (value and (%)) in month column and Yearly PnL (value and (%)) in Yearly column.
Various color input also added to change the table look like background color, text color, heading text color, border color.
In tabulated data, background color turn green for profit and red for loss.
Copy from line 54 to last line as it is in your strategy script.
Credit: This code is modified and top up of the open-source code originally written by QuantNomad. Thanks for their contribution towards to give base and lead to other developers. I have changed the way of determining past PnL to array form and keep separated current month and year PnL from array. Which avoid the false pnl in current month.
Strategy description:
As in first line I said This strategy is aim to provide monthly performance table not focused on the strategy. But it is necessary to explain strategy which I have used here. Strategy is simply based on ADX available on TV community script. Long entry is based on when the difference between DIPlus and ADX is reached on certain value (Set value in Long difference in Input Tab) while Short entry is based on when the difference between DIMinus and ADX is reached on certain value (Set value in Short difference in Input Tab).
Default Strategy Properties used on chart(Important)
This script backtest is done on 1 hour timeframe of NSE:Reliance Inds Future cahrt, using the following backtesting properties:
Balance (default): 500 000 (default base currency)
Order Size: 1 contract
Comission: 20 INR per Order
Slippage: 5 tick
Default setting in Input tab
Len (ADX length) : 14
Th (ADX Threshhold): 20
Long Difference (DIPlus - ADX) = 5
Short Difference (DIMinus - ADX) = 5
We use these properties to ensure a realistic preview of the backtesting system, do note that default properties can be different for various reasons described below:
Order Size: 1 contract by default, this is to allow the strategy to run properly on most instruments such as futures.
Comission: Comission can vary depending on the market and instrument, there is no default value that might return realistic results.
We strongly recommend all users to ensure they adjust the Properties within the script settings to be in line with their accounts & trading platforms of choice to ensure results from the strategies built are realistic.
Disclaimer:
This script not provide indicative of any future results.
This script don’t provide any financial advice.
This strategy is only for the readymade snippet code for monthly PnL performance calender table for any own strategy.
Buy Only Strategy with Dynamic Re-Entry and ExitThe strategy aims to create a simple buy-only trading system based on moving average crossovers and the Weekly Commodity Channel Index (CCI) or Weekly Average Directional Index (ADX). It generates buy signals when the fast-moving average crosses above the slow-moving average and when the Weekly CCI and or Weekly ADX meet the specified conditions.
The strategy also allows for dynamic re-entry, which means it can open new long positions if the price goes above the three moving averages after an exit. However, the strategy will exit the long position if the price closes below the third moving average.
ENTRY CONDITIONS
The script defines the conditions for generating buy signals. It checks for two conditions for a valid buy signal:
• If the fast-moving average crosses above the slow-moving average -THERE IS Dynamic Re-Entry also
• If the user chooses HE OR SHE CAN FILTER TRADES BY USING CCI OR ADX
Dynamic Re-Entry:
the script allows for dynamic re-entry. If there is no active long position and the price is above all three moving averages a new long position is opened.
Exit Conditions
The script defines the exit condition for closing a long position. If the price closes below the third moving average, the script closes the long position.

Ta StrategyHello guys
This script follows traditional technical indicators
MACD, ADX, RSI and pivot points
If the price is above the resistance and the MACD has crossover ,and the RSI 14 is above 50
ADX is higher than 20, and DI+ is higher than DI-. This is a buy signal and vice versa for a sell signal
The script moves the stop loss to the entry price after the first target is reached
You can specify the quantity you want to sell when the price reaches the first target
There are also options like if you want the script to entry long or short, or both
you can reverse the strategy if it does not work well

Ichimoku Cloud and ADX with Trailing Stop Loss (by Coinrule)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku Cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s. It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals.
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
DMI is simple to interpret. When +DI > - DI, it means the price is trending up. On the other hand, when -DI > +DI, the trend is weak or moving on the downside. The ADX does not give an indication of the direction but about the strength of the trend.
Typically values of ADX above 25 mean that the trend is steeply moving up or down, based on the -DI and +DI positioning. This script aims to capture swings in the DMI, and thus, in the trend of the asset, using a contrarian approach.
Trading on high values of ADX, the strategy tries to spot extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Values of ADX above 45 may suggest that the trend has overextended and is maybe about to reverse.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with the ADX indicator to better enter trades.
Long orders are placed when these basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
-DI is greater than +DI
ADX is greater than 45
Close Position:
3% increase trailing
3% decrease trailing
The script is backtested from December 2022 and provides good returns.
A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.

Strategy Myth-Busting #2 - Braid Filter+ADX+EMA-Trend - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our second one we are automating is the " Braid Filter: The Indicator That Will Make You a Fortune ( Crazy Win Rate ! ) " strategy from " TradeIQ " who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 453% profit with a 75% winrate over 100 trades in just a few months. I was unable to emulate these results accommodating for slippage and commission but this strategy does fair pretty well at least compared to the first one we automated.
If you know of or have a strategy you want to see myth-busted or just have an idea for one, please feel free to message me.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
Braid Filter by Robert Hill
CM_EMA Trend Bars by Chris Moody
ADX and DI for V4 by Trend Bars by BeikabuOyaji
Trading Rules
15 min candles but other time-frames seem to work well too.
Long
1) Buy Price action above moving average. (bars are green)
2) Braid filter must issue a new green bar
3) ADX must be above the 20 level and be pointed up, If flat or downwards, don't enter trade (adjust ADX Slope to increase/decrease the incline of the slope)
4) Stop loss at the moving average or recent swing low.
Short
1) Buy Price action below moving average. (bars are red)
2) Braid filter must issue a new red bar
3) ADX must be above the 20 level and be pointed up, If flat or downwards, don't enter trade (adjust ADX Slope to increase/decrease the incline of the slope)
4) Stop loss at the moving average or recent swing high.

Rob Booker - ADX Breakout updated to pinescript V5Rob Booker - ADX Breakout. The strategy remains unchanged but the code has been updated to pinescript V5. This enables compatibility with all new Tradingview features. Additonally, indicators have been made more easily visible, default cash settings as well as input descriptions have been added.
Rob Booker - ADX Breakout: (Directly taken from the official Tradingview V1 version of the script)
Definition
Rob Booker’s Average Directional Index (ADX) Breakout is a trend strength indicator that affirms the belief that trading in the direction of a trend and continuing to follow its pull is more profitable for traders, while simultaneously reducing risk.
History
ADX was traditionally used and developed to determine a price’s trend strength. It is commonly known as a tool from the arsenal of Rob Booker, experienced entrepreneur and currency trader.
Calculations
Calculations for the ADX Breakout indicator are based on a moving average of price range expansion over a specific period of time. By default, the setting rests at 14 bars, this however is not mandatory, as other periods are routinely used for analysis as well.
Takeaways
The ADX line is used to measure and determine the strength of a trend, and so the direction of this line and its interpretation are crucial in a trader’s analysis. As the ADX line rises, a trend increases in strength and price moves in the trend’s direction. Similarly, if the ADX line is falling, a trend decreases in strength and price then enters a period of consolidation, or retracement.
Traditionally, the ADX is plotted on the chart as a single line that consists of values that range from 0-100. The line is non-directional, meaning that it always measures trend strength regardless of the position of a price’s trend (up or down). Essentially, ADX quantifies trend strength by presenting in both uptrends and downtrends of the line.
What to look for
The values associated with the ADX line help traders determine the most profitable trades and where risk lies in the current trend. It is important to know how to quantify trend strength and distinguish between the varying values in order to understand the differences in trending vs. non-trending conditions. Let’s take a look at ADX values and what they mean for trend strength.
ADX Value:
0-25: Signifies an absent of weak trend
25-50: Signifies a strong trend
50-75: Signifies a very strong trend
75-100: Signifies an extremely strong trend
To delve into this a bit further, let’s assess the meaning of ADX if it is valued below 25. If the ADX line remains below 25 for more than 30 or so bars, price then enters range conditions, making price patterns more distinguishable and visible to traders. Price will move up and down between resistance and support in order to determine selling and buying interest and may then eventually break out into a trend or pattern.
The way in which ADX peaks, ebs, and flows is also a signifier of its overall pattern and trend momentum. The line can clearly indicate to the trader when trend strength is strong versus when it is weak. When ADX peaks are pictured as higher, it points towards an increase in trend momentum. If ADX peaks are pictured as lower - you guessed it - it points towards a decrease in trend momentum. A trend of lower ADX peaks could be a warning for traders to watch prices and manage and assess risk before a trade gets out of hand. Similarly, whenever there is a sudden move that seems out of place or a change in trend character that goes against what you’ve seen before, this should be a clear sign to watch prices and assess risk.
Summary
The ADX Breakout indicator is a trend strength indicator that analyzes price movements relative to trend strength to signal a user when is best for a trade and when is best to manage risk and assess patterns. As long as a trader recognizes strong trends and assesses the risk of each trade properly, they should have no problem using this indicator and utilizing it to work in their favor. In addition, the ADX helps identify trending conditions, but while doing so, also aids traders in finding strong trends to trade. The indicator can even alert traders to specific changes in trend momentum, allowing them to be primed for risk management.
DMI StrategyThis strategy is based on DMI indicator. It helps me to identify base or top of the script. I mostly use this script to trade in Nifty bank options, even when the signal comes in nifty. It can be used to trade in other scripts as well. Pivot points can also be used to take entry. Long entry is taken when DI+(11) goes below 10 and DI-(11) goes above 40, whereas short entry is taken when DI-(11) goes below 10 and DI+(11) goes above 40.
For bank nifty, I take the trade in the strike price for which the current premium is nearby 300, with the SL of 20%. If premium goes below 10% I buy one more lot to average, but exit if the premium goes below 20% of the first entry. If the trade moves in the correct direction, we need to start trailing our stoploss or exit at the pre-defined target.

ADX checkbox to automatically add conditional logic to your strategy
Directional Movement IndexADX is an oscillating indicator, displayed as a single line, ranging from 0 to 100, it only indicates the strength of the trend and does not indicate its direction. In other words, the ADX is non-directional, meaning that it measures the strength of a trend, but doesn’t distinguish between uptrend and downtrends. So, during a strong uptrend, the ADX rises and during a strong downtrend, the ADX also rises.
Here is how you correctly read what ADX is saying about the market. Here are 5 aspects regarding the interpretation of the ADX:
1- When ADX is above 25, trend strength is strong. Usually, once the ADX gets above 25 this signals the beginning of a trend. Big moves (upwards or downwards) tend to happen when ADX is right around this number. You can experiment with this number, some traders that want faster signals, tend to use a 20 threshold when trading with the ADX.
2- When ADX is below 25, traders must avoid trend trading strategies as the market is in accumulation or distribution phase. So, when we see the ADX line below 20 or 25 level, we forget about trend following strategies and we apply strategies suitable for a ranging market.
3- When ADX is above 25 and Positive Directional Movement Indicator (+DMI) is above the Negative Directional Movement Indicator (-DMI). ADX measures the strength of an uptrend. The crossover between the 2 Directional Movement Indicator, as the ADX line is well above 25 can result in an excellent bullish move.
4- The Positive Directional Movement Indicator (+DMI) should be above the Negative Directional Movement and the ADX should be above 25 signals for a strong upward trend for long opportunities. When ADX is above 25 and Positive Directional Movement Indicator is below the Negative Directional Movement Indicator, ADX measures the strength of a downtrend and short opportunities.
5- Values over 50 of the ADX indicate a very strong trend
There are pros and cons of ADX.
So, why is the ADX useful for traders: First, is excellent at quantifying trend strength. Also, it allows traders to see the strength of bulls and bears at the same time. It is good at filtering out trades, during accumulation periods and is good at identifying trending conditions.
But the ADX also has its limitations. The most important disadvantage is the fact that ADX is a lagging indicator that follows the price, so we must be very careful when we apply this indicator, because we might miss the inception of the trend and join it when it’s nearly over.
Also, it offers many false signals when used on shorter time frames, so it’s advisable to trade it on higher time frames Also, the ADX does not contain all of the data necessary a for proper analysis of price action, so it must be used in combination with other tools or indicators.
Now that we fully covered the good and the bad regarding ADX, let’s see how it is used in a trading strategy.
The trading strategy involves a DMI crossover, confirmed by ADX above consolidation threshold. If +DMI crossover, we take long position and if -DMI crosses over, we take a short position.
Candles are re-colored for easy demonstration of uptrend, downtrend and consolidation periods.
Green candles – ADX > Consolidation Threshold and +DMI > -DMI
Red candles – ADX > Consolidation Threshold and +DMI < -DMI
Black candles – ADX < Consolidation Threshold
Repaint – This is a non-repainting strategy - All the signals are generated at candle closing. All the calculations are made on previous candle’s open, high, low, close. No request security function is used. No data is being used from higher time frame. Trade exit uses close function instead of exit to avoid limit orders. Only one long trade at a time (no pyramiding) is allowed.
Strategy Time frame – D (To filter out false signals, higher time frame is recommended)

Combo 2/20 EMA & ADXR This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This indicator plots 2/20 exponential moving average. For the Mov
Avg X 2/20 Indicator, the EMA bar will be painted when the Alert criteria is met.
Second strategy
The Average Directional Movement Index Rating (ADXR) measures the strength
of the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX). It's calculated by taking
the average of the current ADX and the ADX from one time period before
(time periods can vary, but the most typical period used is 14 days).
Like the ADX, the ADXR ranges from values of 0 to 100 and reflects strengthening
and weakening trends. However, because it represents an average of ADX, values
don't fluctuate as dramatically and some analysts believe the indicator helps
better display trends in volatile markets.

DMI (Multi timeframe) DI Strategy [KL]Directional Movement Index Strategy
Entry conditions:
- (a) when DI+ > DI- on timeframe #1, and
- (b) Confirmation: when DI+ > DI- on timeframe #2
In the shown example, timeframe1 was same as the chart (1H) and timeframe2 was 1D.
Stop Loss: ATR based trailing stop
About DMI
Can refer to Investopedia for general understanding.
Applications of DMI in this strategy:
- Assumes uptrend when DI+ is above DI- (when green DI+ lines above red DI-), vice versa for downtrend. This is checked in two different timeframes that can be set by user in settings.
- DX is ignored, it doesn't give a direction of the trend. But if DX was applied, it would be a good indicator for quantifying the strength of uptrend/downtrend. This measurement would typically be read along a threshold (i.e. if below 20, then market is likely consolidating). All of these have been commented out (ignored by pinescript's interpreter via //) in the codes, as said; we are not using DX for sake of simplicity.
Visualizations
To make the chart look cleaner, DMI plots have been simplified to just down/up arrows placed at bottom of the chart.
Referring to the example chart:
- Green arrows : when DI+ > DI- for both timeframes, implies uptrend
- Red arrows: other way around (DI+ < DI-), implies downtrend

Rising ADX strategyI have always been a huge fan of ADX. Its good for finding out good trending moves.
But it has been said that only ADX after 20 or 25 is good for trending market, but few trend gets completed at that level.
So I have come up with a logic to find out the rising ADX. This could be used to determine the trending moves from the start.
Buy signal:
When close is greater than moving average 1 and 2. This moving average can be SMA, EMA, WMA or HMA.
When ADX is greater than the threshold range. I have taken 10 as my minimum range.
Of course important of all ADX should be rising which implies trend is about to start.
Buy exit:
When close is less than moving average 1 and 2. This moving average can be SMA, EMA, WMA or HMA.
When ADX is lesser than the threshold range. I have taken 10 as my minimum range.
ADX falling which implies trend is about to end.
Sell signal:
I don't repeat the above logic again.
Everything similar to buy signal except above moving average. For selling it should be below moving average.
Strategy can be tested for long and short sides.
Note: No Repainting as the logic is very simple.
Using this script we can identify the best timeframe the script trend yields profit.
Test and provide your comments.
