Here's a test signal I created to see if I could the ADX to work the way you
described it. It seems to work. I tested it on EOD futures data. At this
point I would say double check your code carefully and make sure that
parameter settings are the same between the screen indicator and the same
indicator in the signal code. You can send your code to me privately (or
post it to the baord) and I will take a look at it. Often, a second pair of
eyes helps find the bugs.
Value1 = ADX(14);
If Marketposition = 0 And Value1[1] < 20 And Value1 >= 20 Then Buy("B1") At
Market;
If MarketPosition > 0 And BarsSinceEntry >= 10 Then ExitLong("X1") At
Market;
