The ADMI MACD trend following strategy consists of 3 trading indicators: ADMI, Macd-Dot and 200 SMA.
I’ll be using the 200 SMA for overall trend direction, the ADMI to measure trend strength and to confirm the prevailing trend, and finally the MACD Dot indicator to enter a low risk trade in the overall trend direction.
