How to trade ADX with EMA

The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) trading is an intraday strategy. Setting indicators:
ADX 14 period close;
Exponential Moving average 20 period, close.
Time Frame 15 min, 30 min, 60 min (strategy for day trading).
Currency pairs: major.
The main focus is buying during a bullish trend correction and selling during a bearish trend correction. ADX is used to determine the strength of any tendency to trend, and EMA is used to indicate entry points as more recent data has much more weight and older data has much reduced weight. The strategy works with any currency pairs and any timeframes. However, the bigger timeframe is used, the more chances to get under influence of various macroeconomic factors. Therefore, the best time interval is between 15 and 60 minutes. ADX measures the strength of any tendency to trend.
The ADX line varies between 0 and 100. In practice, values higher than 60 are relatively rare. Small values (under 20) tell you about trend weakness, high values (over 30) tell you about trend strength. The ADX line itself does not indicate trend direction (bear or bull); higher values can point to both bullish and bearish trend strength. EMA generates trading signal. When the price line crosses EMA upward, it is the signal to buy and vice versa. 14-period ADX is used to determine trend strength. An entry point is determined using 20-period EMA when the ADX line rises above 30.
A BUY position is opened when the price crosses EMA upward, and ADX is over 30, but under 50. A SELL position is opened when the price crosses EMA downward, and ADX is over 30, but under 50.
If the ADX line rises above 50, the trend may be close to its end, so trading decisions should not be made. If the ADX line falls below 30, and an entry point is still not found, the trading strategy will be reset. Target: A long position will be closed when the price crosses the EMA line downward. A short position will be closed when the price crosses the EMA line upward.
