What is Stochastic ADX Alert?
Stochastic ADX Alert is a two-in-one signal indicator for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. It combines the Stochastic %K/%D crossover (5, 3, 3 by default) with an ADX trend-strength filter (period 14, minimum 20), so choppy, weak-market crossovers are skipped automatically.
How the Signals Work
- BUY / CALL arrow: %K crosses above %D from the lower half of the range (%K below 50) while ADX is above the minimum strength level — a fresh turn with real trend strength behind it.
- SELL / PUT arrow: %K crosses below %D from the upper half of the range (%K above 50) while ADX is above the minimum strength level — a fresh turn with real trend strength behind it.
- Non-repaint: signals confirm on the closed candle, so an arrow stays put once it prints — what you see in history is what you would have traded live.
Built-In Alerts
The moment a valid signal appears, Stochastic ADX Alert can notify you four different ways — each one can be switched on or off in the settings:
- 📢 Popup alert inside MetaTrader
- 🔊 Sound alert so you hear every signal
- 📱 Mobile push to the MetaTrader app on your phone
- ✉️ Email alert straight to your inbox
MT4 & MT5 Versions Included
You get both versions — MetaTrader 4 (.ex4) and MetaTrader 5 (.ex5) — so the exact same signals work on whichever MetaTrader platform you trade.
Adjustable Settings
Tune the indicator to your own style — Stochastic %K, %D and slowing periods, the ADX period and minimum trend-strength level, plus arrow codes, offset, and each alert toggle.
How to Use Stochastic ADX Alert
Drag Stochastic ADX Alert from the Navigator panel onto any chart. It's an active signal engine — the fast 5/3/3 Stochastic fires often, and the ADX filter keeps only the signals that appear when a real trend is moving. M5–M30 suits binary/FTT-style trading; H1 for intraday forex.
Key Settings
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Stochastic %K / %D / Slowing | 5 / 3 / 3 | The fast crossover that triggers the signal |
| ADX Period | 14 | Measures the trend strength behind the signal |
| Minimum ADX | 20 | Signals are blocked when ADX is below this — filters flat, choppy markets. Raise to 25 for stricter filtering |
Trading the Arrows
- Aqua arrow (BUY / CALL): %K turned up through %D from the lower half of its range with a live trend behind it — enter on the next candle open.
- Red arrow (SELL / PUT): the same in reverse, from the upper half.
- Signals confirm on the closed candle — arrows never repaint or move.
- Tip: because the Stochastic is fast, this fires more often than most indicators — check the higher-timeframe direction and skip arrows against the bigger trend.
