The strategy is based on two indicators: ADX and MA.

Trading Strategy Algorithm:

1. Open a daily chart for EURUSD, lots 0.1.

2. Draw an ADX with the period of 14, mark level 20 in the indicator.

3. Draw an MA with the period of 21.

Buying signal: The bar closes above MA, and the ADX line is above 20.
Selling signal: The bar closes below MA, and the ADX line is above 20.

In both cases, trades should be closed, as soon as the bar intersects the MA in the opposite direction.
