ADX and RSI Strategy – A Powerful Trend Trading Strategy 

 December 13, 2015

By  Advanced Strategies

The ADX and RSI strategy might look similar to the ADX and MACD trading strategy. However, unlike the MACD, the RSI can be used to gauge the momentum in prices. When combined with the ADX Indicator, the RSI can act as a great way to compliment the trend strength. Simply put, the ADX and RSI trading indicators when used together can form a powerful way to visual the short term trends in price. This allows for traders to position themselves to enter in a market where the prevailing trend is strong, confirmed by momentum.

The main difference between the MACD and the RSI is that while the MACD is used to time the trade, the RSI is used to time the momentum. Because, when momentum picks up in a trend, chances are that prices will continue pushing higher over a short period of time.

For the ADX and RSI trading strategy, we make use of a 20 period ADX and a 7 Period RSI.

Once the indicators are added onto the chart, you have the following.
