With oscillators, as well as all lagging indicators, you have to be bale to anticipate the event of the indicator before it happens, and this is where a confluence of indicators is needed, and which is where you are on the right track with the MA's you are using.
I use the MT4 platform, which does not have the ADX. I'm still much acquainted with it. I posted yours. The oval portion highlights a slight problem when depending on the signal of the indicator itself. The DMI's did not cross yet and the ADX is still way up there, yet, there was a 3-candle drop in the price, which virtually brought your winnings back to 0 or below. From that point, the decision is to either stay in the trade and wait for the rebound, or get out and take a small hit.
In hindsight, you could say, "I would have entered here, got out there, and cashed in nice profits."
The ADX is an excellent trending indicator, and with practice, I think it, the stochastics, or any other oscillator can be used to the trader's advantage.
I'll post a personal chart with my methodology just to show how I got into a trade that is 400 pips up in 2 days. I posted in my thread the move in advance, but a crossover had to be anticipated. I'll point all that out next.
