Adx Stochastic Strategy (C#)

Adx Stochastic Strategy

Strategy that combines ADX (Average Directional Index) for trend strength and Stochastic Oscillator for entry timing with oversold/overbought conditions.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 172%. It performs best in the forex market.

ADX highlights trend strength while Stochastic pinpoints pullbacks. Long or short signals appear when momentum turns while ADX stays high.

It suits traders who combine trend following with oscillator timing. A protective percent stop helps control drawdowns.

Details

• Entry Criteria:
  • Long: ADX > AdxThreshold && StochK < StochOversold && Bullish
  • Short: ADX > AdxThreshold && StochK > StochOverbought && Bearish
• Long/Short: Both
• Exit Criteria:
  • Exit when ADX < AdxThreshold
• Stops: Percent-based at StopLossPercent
• Default Values:
  • AdxPeriod = 14
  • AdxThreshold = 25m
  • StochPeriod = 14
  • StochK = 3
  • StochOversold = 20m
  • StochOverbought = 80m
  • StopLossPercent = 2.0m
  • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame() Bullish means +DI above -DI and bearish means -DI above +DI. StochK in the rules is %K: the stochastic over StochPeriod candles smoothed over StochK candles; %D plays no part, so it has no setting. An entry against an open position reverses it.
