Summary:
The Commodity Selection Index measures the trending and volatility characteristics of an underlying symbol.

Calculation:
CSI(i) = Factor * ADXR(i) * ATR(i)

ADXR is the Average Directional Movement Rating
ATR is the Average True Range
Factor = (MoveValue / Sqrt(Margin)) / (150 + Commission)
MoveValue is the value of the minimum size move of the underlying symbol.
Margin is the futures contract margin requirement.
Commission is the futures contract commission amount.

Developer:
J. Welles Wilder

Interpretation:
1. Strong Trending: When the Commodity Selection Index is moving upwards the underlying symbol is having stronger trends and with more volatility.
2. Weak Trending: When the Commodity Selection Index is moving downwards the underlying symbol is having weaker trends and with less volatility.
