ADX and EMA strategy IQ Option

I want to present to you the ADX strategy that is based on two indicators ADX and EMA. Many traders are interested in digital options only because they think options are a fast way to earn big money. Well, you have to be always prepared for the worst scenario, that is that you will not always win but sometimes lose. Good strategies are helpful to keep the balance.

60 seconds ADX strategy that combines ADX with EMA

We will start by preparing a chart with a set of indicators needed to generate trading signals. The chart should be set for the 1-minute timeframe and the expiration period should be 60 seconds.

EMA

EMA stands for the Exponential Moving Average. To add this indicator to the chart you have to click on the indicators feature icon and find the EMA among the indicators. After you select it, the line of the EMA will appear on your chart. For the demands of our strategy, the period should be set for 28. You can adjust it by clicking on the pen icon next to the indicator's name. You can also change the colour and the thickness of the EMA line.

ADX

ADX is the Average Directional Movement Index invented by J. Welles Wilder Jr. You add it to the chart the very same way you did with the EMA.

Then you adjust the parameters. The default period is 14. For our strategy to work you should change it to 5.

What is an ADX crossover?

You will see three lines of the indicator. The ADX line itself shows the strength of the trend. The other two lines called +DI and -DI are the lines of the bullish and the bearish movements. They show us when to enter and leave the trade.

What is the best setting for the ADX indicator?

Usually the best indicator settings are the default ones. It is the same with ADX. Today's strategy, however, is to catch quick market moves in 1-minute trades. Therefore, here we have decided to shorten the default indicator period from 14 to 5.
