I find that ADX indicator to be a pretty powerful helper indicator. Now when any system I'm trying gives a signal, I check the ADX first and if it's above 30ish and rising (and either the +DI or -DI is following suit), then almost all of my trades have worked out. Conversely, if the ADX and the DIs are lazing around below 25, I pass.
Now I'm using ADX(21) on a 4HR t/f but I feel that perhaps the adx period can be altered to fit the t/f and pair and so still experimenting with that.
