Yngvi,
give a look at the attached file, downloaded from Chuck LeBeau's site and
concerning ADX.
I also think visit the site http://www.traderclub.com is worth.
Happy Xmas to all.

>Ruggiero's rules for trend mode quoting his table 4.9:
>1. If ADX crosses above 25, then the market is trending.
>2. If ADX crosses below 20, then the market is consolidating.
>3. If ADX crosses below 45 from above, then the market is consolidating.
>4. If ADX rises from below 10 on 3 out of 4 days, then the market will
start

>5. If a trend is based on rule 4, it remains in effect until the 5 day
>difference in ADX is less than 0.

>Ruggiero employs a 14 day ADX but that is based on T-Bonds data.
>Ruggiero suggest employing the above rules as a filter. Sounds quite

>However I'm not quite sure of the precise interpretation of his point 4 and

>Also Ruggiero suggests tweaking the threshold values but I have not
