I'm gonna throw my 4cents into the ring on ADX... i use QCharts...i have my charts set up with ADX (drectional movement) and VOL...in 5 minute/15min/ 45 min charts...all on the same workspace...with S&P futures and the bonds... stocks can be in long downtrends in different time frames and the ADX could be rising...this indicates that the trend down is acclerating... it's very important to all who read this indicator...understand it...we must go to longer time framesto verify true direction... 5 min charts are too volitile...confirm true direction of the trend with ADX in longer time frames...it's very solid.. i have a 20 period Exponential Moving Average, coupled witha 60 EMA on the chart..with nothing else... we do not need a cross over to confirm any BUY signal use any bounce off the 20ema in an up trend as a buying opp...and any break below as a sell... with QCharts, the ADX has the other 2 indicators +D & -D, in the same box...look back to longer time frames to get the BIG picture.. Gemmers i have simplified my real time charting with just these parameters only...i tune everything else out... VOL is very important..tooo..very...watch for pullbacks in an uptrend on contracting vol...meaning NO Sellers..then when it bounces off the 20ema..dive in..this is called a bull flag... the direct opposite is a bear flag in a down trend... all in all....trading stocks or futures should be approached totally the same... try it..you'll like it.... i'm long COOL..any news???
