Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

ADX Backtest buys when ADX crosses above a threshold, optionally requiring the plus DI to lead, while price is above a 60-period SMA, EMA or RMA, or when price crosses above that average with ADX already above the threshold. It exits when ADX falls back under the threshold or price drops below the average. ADX and DI lines sit in a separate pane. There is no stop loss and sizing uses all equity.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
