EMA Cross + RSI + ADX - Autotrade Strategy V2

The EMA Cross + RSI + ADX - Autotrade Strategy V2 indicator is a comprehensive trend-following tool that utilizes dual moving averages combined with momentum and trend strength filters to identify high-probability entry and exit points. It is designed to facilitate automated trading through built-in risk management and alert-ready execution.

Usage

The Usage section highlights how to interpret the signals generated by the strategy:

• Long Entries: Occur when the Fast EMA (9) crosses above the Slow EMA (21) while the RSI is above its specified threshold (default 55) and the ADX (if enabled) is above the trend strength threshold.
• Short Entries: Occur when the Fast EMA (9) crosses below the Slow EMA (21) while the RSI is below its specified threshold (default 40) and the ADX (if enabled) is above the trend strength threshold.
• Automated Exits: Positions are automatically closed (and potentially reversed) when an opposite EMA crossover occurs.
• Stop Loss: A fixed percentage stop loss (default 2%) is applied to every trade, tracking candle wicks to trigger an exit if price action moves against the position.

The strategy is optimized for 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes and includes six distinct alert messages (Entry Buy/Sell, Close Long/Short, SL Hit Long/Short) making it compatible with various webhook automation platforms.

Details

This script implements a "Triple Confirmation System" to filter out market noise. The core logic relies on the EMA crossover for trend direction, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for momentum confirmation, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) to ensure the market is trending strongly enough to support a position.

In traditional markets like NIFTY or S&P 500 futures, price action often trends more smoothly, allowing users to disable the ADX filter to capture more moves. Conversely, in highly volatile markets like Cryptocurrency, the ADX filter is recommended to be enabled to avoid "choppy" sideways price action that often leads to false breakouts.
