Quote from ljyoung:
The problem I have is a practical one and that is that the 'pace levels' that we use are a variable feast and unless one wants to go through and do something like a 20 day MA of the various levels or has a program which does an 'instantaneous' calculation of pace levels (which I believe Spyder has), you're up the creek.
In the spirit of Spydertrader's advice to resist overcomplicating things, I'm trying not to worry too much about precision with the Pace levels. As he said, updating the Pace Lines once a month should be sufficient in order to see what we need to see.
On the other hand the PAs that I've looked at are pretty dramatic but if you have examples where there isn't a jump to very high pace levels, it would be great to see them.
The ones I've seen are dramatic also (assuming "PA" = "Pace Acceleration"). I don't recall seeing a verified example of Pace Acceleration that didn't show this trait. I now realize that my use of the word "some" in my previous post was misleading, since it implied that some examples did not show this trait. I only used that word because I've seen so few examples, and I was hedging a bit.
However if one must find a way to get the appropriate pace levels each day, then so be it. It sounds like you're already collecting data. I'll do the same. Good hunting.

Again, I wouldn't worry about doing it every day. I did it every other week until the Volume and Volatility started increasing so dramatically in June, and then I started doing it weekly. Spydertrader indicated that monthly updates are sufficient. However frequently you do it, it takes very little time with vorzo's spreadsheet, maybe 5 minutes.
Guava rules!
