# Confirming indicators

To further restrict trading criteria for your strategy, you can use a number of confirming indicators for regular buy and sell orders. This page describes all settings options available for confirming indicators.

Orders are placed when both the main strategy settings and confirming indicators meet the market situation. When TrailMe is used too, it must finish trailing while other conditions meet. All these conditions must occur in the same cycle.

Especially when TrailMe is used together with confirming indicators, it makes sense to not set the indicators too strict as all order criteria must happen in the same cycle for an order to be placed (strategy conditions + indicator conditions + hitting trailing stop).

{% hint style="success" %}
**Indicators in Gunbot are calculated with live data.**

For example for a 14 period RSI calculation, that means that the period close values for the past 13 completed candles are used, plus the live data for the current cycle.

**Exchanges do not provide indicator data.**

Gunbot has to calculate its own indicator data, since exchanges only provide the raw data to calculate indicators with. Although we use the, in our opinion, [best library](https://tulipindicators.org/) for indicators it's always possible that exchanges or TradingView show slightly different indicator values because they opted for a different way of calculating them.

{% hint style="info" %}
For margin trading, the buy side for indicator settings apply for opening long position. The sell side applies for opening short positions.

## ADX

### ADX Enabled

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Description" %}
Setting this to true will enable ADX as a confirming indicator, only allowing trades when the trend is strong enough to meet or exceeds the set ADX\_LEVEL.

ADX measures both up- and downtrends, when DI+ is lower than DI- prices are moving up (these values are visible in the logs). When DI- is lower than DI+, prices are moving down. The ADX value indicates the strength of the current up- or downtrend.

A buy order is confirmed when ADX is above ADX\_LEVEL and DI- is lower than DI+.

A sell order is confirmed when ADX is above ADX\_LEVEL and DI- is higher than DI+.

The default value of 35 indicates that the BTC-USD market is moving into oversold territory and might start moving soon, no buy orders would be placed while BTC-USD MFI is between 35 and 0.

As long as BTC-USD is the defined oversold territory, no orders will be placed.

### Renko Brick Size

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Description" %}
Defines the brick size for each candle.

For example, when set to 1 on a pair with USD as base currency, each renko candle will represent a price change of at least 1 USD.

If you are unfamiliar with renko charts, it's recommended to first set the brick size to the smallest possible step, for example 1 USD or 0.00000001 BTC, and see what effect it has on the chart (do keep the chart open a while to check how new price movements get visualized). Then keep increasing the brick size until you get a good feeling of how the chart behaves.
