I'm just learning MS's formula language.   To 
this end I've been working on simple exercises to get my feet wet.
 
I'm currently attempting to write a bit of code (for a MS 
Expert) that as part of the Expert's criteria, requires that the ADX be 
rising.
 
I thought perhaps I could accomplish this by 
writing:
(in non-code language, for example's sake)
 
"want current ADX to be greater than the ADX 5 bars 
ago
and
ADX 5 bars ago to be greater than ADX 10 bars ago, 
etc."
 
I suppose I could do this using the 
"ref" function,
i.e... 
 
adx(14)>ref (adx(14), -5) 
 
...and just keep stacking the prior periods (-5, -10, 
etc).
 
This would ensure that the ADX is rising, but I'm sure 
there is a more elegant way to pull this off, and perhaps with more control over 
the slope of the ADX.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thx, jade
