Basic ADX Video

This video provides an overview of the ADX, or average directional index.  The ADX is an oscillator used to gauge the strength of a trend.  It oscillates between 0 and 100 but hardly ever over 60 unless there are extreme circumstances. 

The -DI and + DI indicate direction and crosses are important.  More important; however, is the divergence that follows the cross.  The ADX is not meant to be used as a stand alone automated trading system.
