Whether you’re a swing trader hunting for trend-following moves or a scalper seeking clean entries, ADX RSI Filter Indicator MT5 offers a streamlined way to boost your entry accuracy and reduce whipsaws.


In this post, we’ll dive into what makes this indicator tick, explore its key features, walk you through the install & setup steps, and share pro tips to get the most out of it. Plus, you’ll find all the meta info you need for quick reference at the end. Ready to elevate your trading game? Let’s go!


Overview


At its core, the ADX RSI Filter Indicator MT5 marries two of the most popular technical tools:



  1. ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength on a scale from 0 to 100. Values above 25 usually signal a strong trend, while readings below 20 indicate ranging or weak movement.

  2. RSI (Relative Strength Index): Oscillates between 0–100 to show overbought or oversold conditions, with the 30/70 levels as typical thresholds.


By overlaying these two indicators in a single MT5 package, you get:



  • Clear Trend Confirmation: ADX filters out trades when the market is lackluster.

  • Momentum Precision: RSI pinpoints entry zones within strong trends.


For example, imagine EURUSD trending up with ADX at 30+. Rather than blindly buying every RSI pullback, the ADX RSI Filter Indicator MT5 highlights only those dips that coincide with ADX-confirmed strength—saving you from entering into false retracements.

This dual-filter approach reduces losing trades, helps maintain a higher win rate, and ultimately preserves capital for when the real moves kick in. Whether you’re trading majors, minors, or exotics, you’ll appreciate how ADX RSI Filter Indicator MT5 cuts through the noise and keeps your entries razor-sharp.


Key Features



  • Integrated ADX & RSI Display: Single window shows both indicators for at-a-glance analysis.

  • Customizable Thresholds: Set your own ADX strength level (e.g., 25, 30) and RSI overbought/oversold zones.

  • Visual Signal Arrows: Optional buy/sell arrows appear when ADX + RSI conditions are met.

  • Alert Notifications: Push, email, and pop-up alerts when filtered signals trigger.

  • Multi-Timeframe Support: Apply on M1, M5, H1, daily—whatever suits your strategy.

  • Color-Coded Zones: Green highlight for bullish conditions; red for bearish.

  • Lightweight & Fast: Written in optimized MQL5 code for minimal CPU load.

  • Conflict Filter: Disable signals during major news events (via built-in calendar filter).

  • Session Timer: Only trade during high-liquidity sessions by setting start/end times.

  • Easy Parameter Inputs: User-friendly input panel for quick tweaks.


How It Works



  1. ADX Check: On each new candle, the indicator reads the ADX value. If ADX is below your “MinTrendStrength” threshold, no signals will be generated—period.

  2. RSI Pullback/Momentum: When ADX confirms a trend (e.g., ADX ≥ 25), the RSI is monitored for entry levels:

  3. Bullish Entry: RSI dips to or below your “RSI Oversold” level (commonly 30), then closes back above.

  4. Bearish Entry: RSI rallies to or above your “RSI Overbought” level (commonly 70), then closes back below.

  5. Signal Confirmation: If both conditions align on the same candle, a buy/sell arrow appears and an alert fires (if enabled).

  6. Optional Filters: You can layer on extra filters—like “Only trade during London session” or “Block signals around economic news”—to further reduce bad entries.


This dual-confirmation model means you only see signals when trend strength and momentum line up, cutting out most of the random back-and-forth swings that plague solo-RSI or solo-ADX systems.

  6. Drag & Drop onto any chart (e.g., EURUSD H1).

  7. Inputs Tab:

  8. Set MinTrendStrength (ADX threshold) to 25 or 30.

  9. Configure RSI_Oversold (default 30) and RSI_Overbought (default 70).

  10. Toggle ShowArrows and EnableAlerts as desired.

  11. Optionally adjust UseNewsFilter and session times (StartHour/EndHour).

  12. OK—your chart now displays ADX & RSI together, with filtered trade signals.


Tips & Best Practices


• Combine with Price Action: Use the filtered signals alongside candlestick patterns (e.g., pin bars) for higher-probability entries.
• Risk Management: Never risk more than 1–2% of your account balance per trade—filtered signals aren’t bulletproof.
• Timeframe Alignment: If you trade on H1, glance at the H4 timeframe too; skip signals if the higher-TF trend is against you.
• News Awareness: Even with a news filter, remember that scheduled releases can jump prices—avoid trading 15 min before/after.
• Optimization: Every forex pair behaves differently. Backtest ADX and RSI thresholds for EURUSD versus GBPJPY to find optimal values.
