Thanks Tomasso!

I was aware of the big lag of the ADX. The Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF)
seems much more responsive so I intend to adapt Ruggiero's rules to that
indicator.
Has anybody done this already?

Best regards,
Yngvi

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.
