What it does

ADX Trend MA smooths the ADX with a moving average and adds a signal line and a zero level. Together, they make it easy to read trend direction and trend strength on any MT4 symbol and timeframe.

Signals

• Buy: the main line is rising and both the main and the signal line stay above 0 → uptrend. Entries on the signal bar; SL below the recent swing low.
• Sell: the main line is falling and both lines remain below 0 → downtrend. Entries on the signal bar; SL above the recent swing high.
• Flat: lines cross around 0 and move sideways → avoid new trades.

Inputs (short)

• TimeFrame – calculation TF (default: current).
• PTPeriod – base period of the ADX MA.
• SignalPeriod – period for the signal line.
• Smoothing – additional smoothing ratio.

How to trade

1. Determine the trend using the 0 level and the relative position of the lines.
2. Trade with the trend; avoid entries during flat periods.
3. Exit when the conditions reverse or by your TP/SL rules.
