Using ADX Periods to Mark Trend States and Crossings in MT4
Summary
The document describes an MT4 and MT5 chart indicator that uses three ADX periods to mark where a trend starts and ends, as well as intervals it classifies as trendless. It displays horizontal lines and directional arrows on the main price chart, and can alert when a line appears or price crosses a current or previous line. Users can configure the ADX periods and choose pop-up, email, or mobile notifications.
The text explains settings for tracking prior horizontal lines, including how many to monitor and a minimum line length for alerts. It provides no trading rules for entering or exiting positions, performance results, or comparisons with other trend measures. ADX-based signals can help visualize directional conditions, but the document does not explain how the indicator defines its lines or validate their usefulness; alerts alone do not establish a profitable strategy.
