MACD + RSI + ADX Strategy (ChatGPT-powered) by TradeSmart

Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend followingMomentum

The MACD + RSI + ADX Strategy combines trend-following and momentum indicators for entry and exit signals. A long entry is signaled when the price is above the SMA, MACD crosses up, RSI is over 50, volume surpasses the EMA, and ADX confirms the trend strength. Conversely, a short entry is indicated under opposite conditions. Successful backtesting on multiple Forex and crypto pairs exhibits this strategy's effectiveness, with customizable parameters for flexibility in application.
