Uh. K. I have been using this is make much more accurate predictions than I've seen anyone else do. Which is why I - you know - posted this in the first place. More background to prevent ppl from wasting more space: It seems like this data is coming from the tape. So if there's a dark pool...

I can't help feeling some admiration for Uncle Bernie... he plays the game well

Someone else posted a thread about 'chart porn' so I thought I'd show everyone pics of the DIX (not mine tho) because IT EXCITES ME DIX means 'Dark Index'... it's an aggregated S&P dark pool buying/selling indicator. So if it's high that means ppl are silently buying. And if it's low...

Seven years.

Hertz $HTZ is getting a lot of hate and I think it has potential.

Yes, agreed but for different reason. There's net selling in dark pools at the $85 level, so it's due to sink.

Still net selling activity in dark pools (been like that since may). So institutions are still selling... and it hasn't let up for a moment. There's risky and then there's catching a falling knife for no good reason. Better to wait until some confirmation doncha think?

The blue line is a finite series... 0 to 100%. Highs are highs and lows are lows. This isn't price or implied vol or anything else. 110% is not possible. -50% is not possible. Finite. Series. So those hgih or low values are objectively high or low. Because there can't be 500% dark pool buying...

If you're too cheap to buy good data and you're going to model your beliefs after your inability to pay -- that's your personal problem. I have no doubt that this problem is common... but I don't want your opinion or the opinion of anyone else who can't fathom the idea of something other than...

Wow... you would respond to this (a complaint about how nobody's actually talking about the data) with some completely irrelevent TA indicator from the 60s. And you apparently didn't notice that DIX is free. And that obviously I'm not trying to be secretive. Amazing. So thank you for the smug...

Exactly. The block trade stuff doesn't make sense to me as a pure methodology because of this. And yeah even if the people have realtime, they probably don't want to bother paying to stream it to people unless there's interest. I think this is the point yeah.

No they do end of day data. I don't think they think very highly of real-time block trade stuff, and after seeing Stock Whisperer and stuff like that I'd tend to agree (unless it has something to do with a new option position... that's interesting). Yeah IB definitely has it.

If I'm going to point a finger, it would be at iQ feed. DP trades ARE reported to the tape within moments, and every good data provider will have them. HFT Alert does have them, I am certain. If there are holes, it will be due to IQ feed... try buying the same data from a better vendor (or look...

Any other oscillator? This doesn't use price or volume or any derivatives of all that. It's a daily ratio of two types of trades... this is as far as you can get from the usual cheap technical garbage. Are you calling it an oscillator because it goes up and down? We must see things...
