ADX VMA Trend Signals (MT5)

ADX VMA Trend blends Average Directional Index (ADX) with a Variable Moving Average (VMA) engine to deliver direction + strength in one view. You get a steadier trend read, timelier pullback entries, and cleaner regime filters for MetaTrader 5.

What it shows

• Trend bias via VMA slope and baseline.
• Strength via ADX/DI logic (surges vs fades).
• Signal coloring/markers (if enabled) for crosses, slope flips, and regime changes.

Trade ideas

1. Trend‑follow: trade with the VMA slope; add confirmation when ADX rises.
2. Pullback timing: in an uptrend, buy dips when VMA turns back up and ADX holds firm; mirror for downtrends.
3. Regime break: exit or flip when price/VMA and DI context agree on reversal.
4. (Optional) Divergence: price pushes but strength (ADX/DI) lags — reduce risk or wait for confirmation.

Inputs that matter

• VMA length / method — baseline smoothness & responsiveness.
• ADX period — sensitivity of strength.
• DI/threshold — confirmation rules.
• Alerts — slope flips, crossovers, regime changes.
• Colors/widths — quick read at a glance.

Suggested usage

• M5–M15: intraday trends with higher‑TF filter.
• M30–H4: swing add‑ons on pullbacks.
• Daily+: trend regime filter for portfolios.
