This guide outlines a way to parlay IRAs and IRA inheritance into successful investments.

  ADXcellence (272 pages, $149 softcover, 2006) by Charles B. Schaap.

While immobilized in a body cast, the author began reading books about trading. He concluded that, using the ADX, a trader can make the most money in the least time, and that the ADX is the best indicator for trading power trends. The ADX quantifies trend strength, gives direction, and shows trend momentum. This book is a thorough look at the ADX. In addition to the text, it has many chart examples to clarify the author's points and beliefs. Available through StockmarketStore.com.
