Thanks guys, I had no idea the IBD website had that kind of fee structure. I can't understand why anyone would pick it over Worden now :p

A log chart allows you to see x % change as the same distance on a chart. An arithmetic one does not. Here's daclniay[df][p][vc60][i]&pref=G"]log, and here's dacaniay[df][p][vc60][i]&pref=G"]arithmetic. Notice how on the arithmetic the jump in Jan 2004 onwards looks much more exagerated...

This is totally normal. There is a yearly pattern to flows.

I'll offer up two ideas: Use the RS (I've been harping on this lately :D ) Here's an example, courtesy of TorontoTrader2 in another thread (attachment). Note how the RS line was above its 20 EMA (thin green line). Just before LM fell out of bed the RS line was flat lining and then it...

I'd also be interested to know about IBD's web service. Especially compared and contrasted to worden bros. service. :)

Anyone catch the small article in this weekend's edition of Barron's? In the options column, the journalist is talking about a software engineer who has been selling naked puts for 15 years. Says he's got a $120,000 portfolio and has been averaging +25% a year! Although the article doesn't...

Just found this: http://www.marketthoughts.com/charts.html You pick a start/end date and then it charts the distance (%) from 50 and 200 MA for the index. Neat. The other stuff on the web isn't all that bad either. Happy trading. :)

Thanks for the chart gummy. I've downloaded it but when I follow your instructions and change any of the symbols for the ratio (right hand side) I get an error and the cells load up with #N/A. Oh and I can't put in any Canadian securities like say, RY.to or HBC.to. Yahoo! finance should be able...

I have the same outlook. There are some sectors/stocks that are gangbusters here but some that are absolutely horrid. Its a cliche, but it truly is the stock pickers market right now. Not at all like the boom years in the late 90s where a retarded capuchin monkey could make money.

Ideally, I would want to know what the operating company AD line is for the NYSE (something Lowry's calculates) in order to compare it to the Nasdaq numbers. However, I don't think that a divergence of this kind, if it really does exist across the board, is a sign that a fall is imminent. From...

Notice that their performance is getting crushed in 2005 (so far): http://www.ansbacherusa.com/perform_ansbacher.htm At this rate, they'll probably make 10% (+/-2%). Could it be because Wall Street has brought to market over $6 Billion closed end funds which are devoted to covered call...

Which rise? That was my whole point! There isn't a concomitant rise in AD. :eek:

Anyone else see the adv/dec (cumulative) line's divergence with the Nasdaq Comp.? Here's what I mean...the AD line put in a top in Dec 2004 just as the index did. But since then the index has recovered (and just barely surpassed) that top while the AD line has done nothing of the sort. It is...

ok I had a bit of a brainstorm. I looked through Weinstein's book and found the company that did those charts and it turns out they are still in the biz: http://www.mansfield-charts.com/Targets/Samples/FWeeklySamp.htm Look at #12 on that chart. Its the RS but its not just price/index as...

How can you guys not mention the Chairman? http://www.maoxian.com/archive/daytrading/index.html. :p

Thanks guys, yes, I think we're on the right track. But even with the comparison to 'then' it doesn't produce an oscillation around an axis. I think it might be necessary on top of that to compare to a changing 'then'. Kind of a ROC RS, if you get my drift. IOW you're comparing today's RS to...

I know this may seem like a really dumb question but here goes... I'm trying to 'standardize' relative strength (NOT the RSI but RS) so that it bobs and weaves along an axis. RS is security price divided by index level, now what do you have to do to it to get the standardized version? I...

what is the bottom indicator on your chart?

I'm looking for breadth data for NYSE/Nasdaq/AMEX. You know, advance/decline line, high/lows, etc. The only place I know which has some info is here But they have their limitations. They only show a small recent time period. Are there any other resources out there that you guys know about...

To be honest, most of the arguments fly over my head. I only presented it because the firm is very well thought of and because it presented a breath of fresh air from the usual crap you hear on cnbc.
