What it does for your trading

Stop using ADX the way everyone else does

Use it the way my hedge fund does, and three things change for the better.

◎

Fewer losses eating your account profits

Calibrated properly, ADX stands you aside in the choppy markets where breakouts fail - so you stop handing back weeks of gains to trades that were never going to work. The ADX Master Filter shows you exactly how.

✓

A robust edge that survives live trading

You get settings that aren't curve-fit to one backtest. So the edge that looks good in testing is the same edge that still holds up when real money is on the line - that's the whole point of The ADX Calibration Method.

↑

Higher performance from the strategies you trade

One small change to how you read ADX can transform a strategy's bottom line. The ADX Smoother is a single-line tweak that, in my own testing, more than doubled a strategy's net profit while cutting its drawdown nearly in half.

Yes, this is for you

You can do this even if you've tried ADX before and it didn't work as well as you hoped

✓

...you've tried ADX and weren't impressed. That's because you used it the textbook way. The plays inside are the way it's actually meant to be used.

✓

...you already use ADX every day. You'll still find unique, hedge-fund ways to apply it that go well beyond the textbook - fresh angles to sharpen your entries, filters and exits, and lift the performance of strategies you already trade.

✓

...you're not a programmer. Every code snippet comes with a ready-to-paste AI prompt that converts it to your platform - Pine Script, NinjaScript, MQL or Python - in seconds.

This is my story

Why I trust the one indicator many traders give up on

Does the ADX indicator actually work? - my most-watched YouTube video

Type "does ADX actually work" into YouTube and one of the first videos you'll find is mine. It's one of the most-watched videos I've published.

There's a reason that question gets so many clicks. Almost every trader has tried ADX, and many have come away underwhelmed. They drop it on a chart at the default setting, filter a few trades, see no obvious difference, and move on.

So let me answer the question directly. Yes, ADX works. It can work so reliably that I'd call it a free edge. But it only works if you use it the way we actually use it, not the way the textbooks describe it.

Applied correctly it improves breakout entries and cuts losses. Applied the lazy way, it does almost nothing.

In this playbook I've done something most people in this industry won't: I've shared the real stuff. The actual filter values. The real calibration process. The exact ADX Master Filter parameters I run on live capital.

It's 13 plays, start to finish, for $10. My goal is simple - I want you to finish it and think, "I can't believe I got all this for ten bucks." And then you apply it, and it makes you $1,000s.

A look inside

The 13 plays, start to finish

Each play is a self-contained, named method - run one on its own, or stack them into a complete ADX system.

  1. 1

    ADX Explained

    What the indicator actually measures, and why it decides whether your breakouts live or die.

  2. 2

    The ADX Calibration Method

    The number-one ADX mistake, and the single principle that fixes it for good.

  3. 3

    The ADX Master Filter

    One rule. Every index. No re-optimization. Almost zero added overfitting risk.

  4. 4

    The ADX Anchor

    The overlooked third lever almost nobody adjusts - and why it can matter more than the two everyone obsesses over.

  5. 5

    The ADX Exhaustion Exit

    How to tell when a strong trend is running out of steam, and bank the move before you hand those profits back.

  6. 6

    The ADX Asymmetry Rule

    The counterintuitive rule that flips everything above on its head - and why ignoring it quietly costs you.

  7. 7

    The ADX Rewind Technique

    Why entering the moment ADX turns green is often the worst possible time to buy.

  8. 8

    The ADX Double

    How to make the market prove the trend twice before you risk a single cent.

  9. 9

    The NASDAQ Strength Gate

    One simple condition that separates the NASDAQ days worth trading from the ones that'll chop you up.

  10. 10

    The ADX Travel Test

    The simple test that proves an edge is real - and not just a lucky fit that'll fall apart the moment you trade it live.

  11. 11

    The ADX Smoother

    What happened when I asked an AI to improve one of my ADX filters - and the one-line idea that came back.

  12. 12

    The DMI Rewind

    ADX has a lesser-known sibling, and two small tweaks that turn it into a second breakout engine entirely.

  13. 13

    The Filter Canvas

    ADX was never meant to work alone. How it fits with ATR, moving averages, and the rest of your toolkit.

About the creator

Tomas Nesnidal

Tomas Nesnidal

"Mr. Breakouts" · Hedge-fund manager · Creator of BreakoutOS

I'm a full-time trader, and I specialize exclusively in breakouts. I co-founded Breakout Trading Academy and created BreakoutOS, and back in 2017 I launched my own algorithmic hedge fund built entirely around breakout trading. Today I run a portfolio of close to 2,500 strategies across global futures markets.

My work has been featured in Stocks & Commodities, Traders' Magazine, Interactive Brokers, Futures Truth, and dozens of trading publications worldwide. Everything in this playbook comes from that same hedge-fund research - the real settings, the real calibration process, and the real techniques I run on live capital every day.

Got a question?

Common questions

I've used ADX before and it didn't help. Why is this different?

Because almost everyone uses ADX the same way, and it's ineffective. This playbook shows you how the indicator is actually meant to be used, backed by the data from thousands of strategies, and applied without curve-fitting. Same tool, completely different result.

Which markets does this work for?

All of them. I trade futures, so my examples use those, but the principles work just the same on stocks, forex, crypto and CFDs.

Which trading platforms does this work for?

Any platform you like. The code examples are written in EasyLanguage, which runs on TradeStation and MultiCharts. But every snippet also comes with a ready-to-paste AI prompt that converts it to whatever platform or trading language you need - Pine Script, NinjaScript, MQL, Python, and more.

I'm not a coder. Can I still use it?

Yes. The code snippets are in EasyLanguage and pseudocode, and each one comes with a ready-to-paste AI prompt that converts it to your platform - Pine Script, NinjaScript, MQL or Python - in seconds.

What exactly do I get, and how?

Instant digital access to the full 13-play playbook in two formats (an interactive online edition and a downloadable PDF), plus the two bonuses. Everything is delivered electronically, by email, the moment you order.

What if it's not for me?

Then you pay nothing. It's covered by my 60-day "Try Every Play" Guarantee: get the playbook, run through the plays, and if not even one of them earns its place in your trading toolkit, email me and I'll refund every cent. No forms, no hoops, no hard feelings. For 60 days, the risk is mine, not yours.
