MACD on its own for a while to catch reversals, but I still get caught in weak trends more often than I’d like. A trader I follow mentioned combining it with ADX to filter out sideways markets, so I’ve started testing that setup on demo. Curious if anyone else here has tried pairing these two — any tips on settings, timeframes, or how to actually time the entries better?

Yep, I’ve been using that combo for a few months now on the 1-hour chart. I use MACD for momentum signals, and ADX to stay out when the market’s flat. Honestly, it helped cut down on the chop. I picked up the idea from this breakdown https://forextester.com/blog/macd-adx-strategy — gives a decent starting point if you’re figuring out how to align both indicators without overcomplicating things.

Sometimes I find that even the best indicator combos still need some manual judgment. Like, the numbers might line up perfectly, but if price is stuck near a key level or reacting weird to news, I’ll stay out. It’s more about context than strict rules for me — I like seeing indicators as support tools, not signals on their own

J’habite en Normandie et je me baladais sur un forum local quand quelqu’un a parlé de playjonny. Après quelques mauvaises passes ailleurs, je ne pensais pas rejouer. Mais leur offre m’a intrigué et j’ai fini par tester. Quelle surprise quand j’ai réussi à récupérer mes pertes et même à financer un dîner chic à Paris. Ça m’a prouvé que parfois, changer de plateforme en vaut la peine.
