Re: [Metastockusers] ADX initialization

One possible problem With ADX is that it uses Wilders Smoothing internally.
This is a form of an exponential moving average, and typically all EMA's
need about 5 times the nominal "periods" worth of data in an exploration to
give the same approximate value seen on a chart. This shouldn't affect the
System Tester but it will certainly affect explorations using ADX and
"minimum" periods.
