Python: Average Directional Index (ADX) Directional Movement System Calculation
101This video is the introduction to the Average Directional Index (ADX), which is used as a part of the Directional Movement System, developed by Welles Wilder.
The purpose of this series is to teach mathematics within python. To do this, we will be working with a bunch of the more popular stock indicators used with technical analysis.
With most of the indicators, we will first discuss them, their purpose, then teach how to program them into python, then actually display them on a chart.
The basic charting application comes from a previous tutorial series, here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQVvvaa0QuDcR-u9O8LyLR7URiKuW-XZq
