Porter, Are these numbers a simple, mechanical (non-proprietary) calculation? Monthly Trend Value -2 (questionable) Weekly Trend Value -1 (questionable) Daily Trend Value -8 (trending down) 45-minTrend Value -1 (mixed) Turtle Trend (LT) -4 (running downtrend) If so, can you direct me to where they are defined. thanks, Rick

Are these numbers a simple, mechanical (non-proprietary) calculation? Monthly Trend Value -2 (questionable)
Weekly Trend Value -1 (questionable)
Daily Trend Value -8 (trending down)
45-minTrend Value -1 (mixed)
Turtle Trend (LT) -4 (running downtrend)

The first four (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 45-min) are swing trend values.
I follow four indices--spoos, Compx, NYA, and MID.
Each is given a value ranging from -3 to +3.
If the index is in a running uptrend +3.
If the index is in a simple uptrend +2.
If the trend is up, but the index is in a trading range +1.
If the trend is questionable the value is 0.

I then sum the value for all 4 indices.
For example, right now for the Monthly swing value, the spoos are Questionable; so the value is zero.
The Compx is also questionable, but it is likely to turn down, so the value is -1.
The NYA has not broken its May low, so it is still in a trading range +1.
The MID is in a simple Monthly downtrend -2.
Summing these values gives a total of -2.
Altogether I rate the Monthly trend as questionable.
It could resolve either way.
Since the Quarterly trend is Up, it is more likely to resolve Up.

The Turtle Trend is different.
It is based on 20D Donchian breakouts.
The Value is -1 in a downtrend and +1 in an uptrend.
Right now all 4 indices are in a downtrend so -4.
