I see what your saying from looking at your spredsheet. I was thinking more along these lines: If the NYSE volumn today was 1.2 biillion and the average was 1 billion then we have a ratio of 1.2. Say abc's volume was 1.1 million and the average is 1 million we have a 1.1 ratio. We then take...

I ran a quik study regarding each individual stocks volume and also using the NYSE volume as you had mentioned. The return results were about the same for each method. Have you found that using the NYSE volume helped your returns? JJ

That's what I will probably do, but it can be very time consuming to take off volume data at certain times for a large number of stocks. Does any service offer this info? jj

Instead of trying to edit again, I'll explain the headings. The first post had numbers all over the page. The first colum is where the close lies within the range. The second column is when the next days high is greater than the close. The 3rd column is when the next days...

Just for fun I did a little study on the theory about; "85% of the time the stock will move higher the next day if the close is within the highest 10% of that day's trading range" I used Yahoo data on the S&P 100 and had over 500,000 days of data. The findings are...

The S$P futures pre market price seems to be very accurate compared to the S&P index at the opening. Do traders use pre market prices to value the futures or do they get estimated opening prices from the specialists? JJ

I notice that Pre-market on the SP futures and the opening on the SP index corralate quit well. Do the major taders use Pre-market trades or do they use opening calls by the specialists to estimate where the S&P will open? jj
