ADX MACD blends trend strength from the Average Directional Index with momentum shifts from MACD.
When ADX is rising, breakouts have a higher chance of continuing, especially if MACD crosses in the same direction.
The strategy trades those aligned signals and exits once ADX starts to weaken or MACD flips against the position.
A modest percent stop contains losses during choppy markets.
