Today we are going to learn how to use the ADX (sometimes referred to as the DMI) indicator in Forex Trading
The average directional Index or ADX, is an indicator that is use to determine the strength of a prevailing trend. The ADX is measured on a scale from zero 100 with a series of lines that illustrate the trend, the strength of the positive direction and the strength of the currencies negative direction. These series of lines are actually three indicators all built in to want into the one ADX.
There are 2 direction movement indicators (ADX or DMI), one of them being the positive directional movement referred to as the green line in the video. The negative directional indicator in the video is the red line, between these 2 lines you can see the fight between the bulls of the bears and who is dominating that fight. When the green bull line crosses the red bear line then we see that the bulls have just taken charge of the currency pair and can be marked by the change in price movement.
An aggressive buy signal could be taken when the green line crosses the red and vice versa when the red crosses the green without taking into context the blue ADX line.
The blue ADX line is a measure of the strength of the trend for the foreign currency pair. When the ADX line is above 20 or 25 for our case in the forex trading video is an indication that currency pair is trending (we only trade during trending markets remember). We then watch the ADX line and should be in a position on that currency pair and ride that trend as it approaches and even exceeds a value of 40.
With the past couple of videos including the ADX Indicator you’ve actually learned enough to make some pretty healthy gains in the forex market, I want you to be able to make enough with what you have just learned to gain your trust in taking the Mission Phoenix Mastering the Forex Course. With that said, Forex trading is very risky and you should always backtest your trading method and then practice in a demo trading account before applying real money.

In forex trading a trader can get leverage up to 400:1 on a micro account. This means they can control 400 times the amount of money they are risking on a trade. This is called leverage and provides the opportunity for very large profits relative to account size, but also for very large losses.

I hope we can get a good discussion going here, mikkom, it sounds like we do similar things, I do purely systematic trading I just had finished hosting my ATS on a Linux node in CA to be close to the MB gateways, I am using C++ and a Postgres database.
