What is the high low with the ADX trading system?
The forex market’s basic phenomena to make money are buying orders at lows and selling orders at highs. So this trading method shows that highs and lows could be considered entry points and the exits or the dynamic support-resistance levels.
Required tools/indicators for this trading system:
- ADX13: average directional movement index with +DI, -DI, and MA (3)
- DYN_S_R: dynamic support/resistance or range indicator
Simple brief of tools
The average directional movement index (ADX) is an indicator or tool of technical analysis that calculates market data and determines the trend’s strength.
The trend of asset price can be on an uptrend or a downtrend that is shown by two coincident indicators:
- The negative directional indicator -DI
- The positive directional indicator +DI
When the value of +DI is greater than the value of -DI, or simply the +DI line crosses or remains above the -DI line, it indicates upward or positive asset price strength and vice versa. This indicator calculates and shows its reading on an independent window containing two more signal lines or moving average lines of different colors with different input values.
The DYN_S_R is an asset that indicates the support and resistance levels by creating:
- Blue dots at the support levels: below the candles
- Red dots at the resistance levels: above the candles
In other words, this tool identifies the range of the price movement and shows it at the main chart window.
