About the All ADX Dashboard Indicator
The All ADX Dashboard indicator for MT4 shows ADX (Average Directional Index) across 7 timeframes: 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly.
ADX, developed by J. Welles Wilder, measures trend strength and helps identify potential trend changes.
The indicator includes three components: DI+ (green line), DI- (red line), and the ADX trend strength line (yellow line).
Crossovers between DI+ and DI- provide simple buy or sell signals.
The dashboard allows you to monitor multiple timeframes at a glance, helping to confirm trend alignment before entering a trade.
The default period is 14, but it can be adjusted in the inputs tab.
For best results, use the dashboard with other technical tools to validate signals.

All ADX Dashboard + ADX with DeMarker Signals Forex Scalping Strategy
This MT4 scalping strategy combines the All ADX Dashboard MT4 indicator and the ADX with DeMarker Forex Signal MT4 indicator.
The All ADX Dashboard gives trend direction signals.
A bullish setup appears when the green DI+ line crosses above the red DI minus line from below and a bearish setup when the red DI minus line crosses above the green DI+ line from below.
The ADX with DeMarker indicator adds a second confirmation using colored arrows: green arrows for a bullish trend and red arrows for a bearish trend.
This combination is ideal for fast execution on M1 and M5 charts, helping scalpers catch quick moves with trend confirmation and momentum.
Buy Entry Rules
- On the All ADX Dashboard, the green DI+ line crosses above the red DI minus line, indicating bullish trend bias.
- The ADX with DeMarker indicator displays a green arrow, confirming bullish momentum.
- Enter a long trade immediately after the candle closes with both conditions met.
- Place a stop loss a few pips below the recent swing low or the entry candle’s low.
- Take profit when either the arrows turn red or DI minus crosses back above DI+, or near a nearby resistance level.
Sell Entry Rules
- On the All ADX Dashboard, the red DI minus line crosses above the green DI+ line, signaling bearish trend bias.
- The ADX with DeMarker indicator displays a red arrow, confirming bearish momentum.
- Enter a short trade immediately after the candle closes with both conditions satisfied.
- Set the stop loss a few pips above the recent swing high or above the entry candle’s high.
- Target a modest pip gain or exit when a green arrow appears or DI+ crosses back above DI minus.
Advantages

- Works well on very short timeframes allowing multiple trading opportunities per day.
