TRIN 2+ occurs in 2 cases, after a downtrend it signals a short term bottom, but if it appears in an uptrend, it signals an initiation of a downtrend. Maybe someone can post a chart with TRIN 2+ days. I made that chart once, and that was my conclusion.
Yes, often high indicator readings can be "
initiation signals".
As for tick, notice we didn't have any high tick readings over the past few days, it was kinda trending down. To me that means distribution, not buying. There was no real buying. Isn't it true that Tick is generaly high during real strong uptrends, and the opposite during downtrends ?
Somebody used to say the cumulative tick was like a rubber band which snaps back from extremes.
I use the 5 minute with averaging to try and capture that cumulative effect.
I believe it's very low MA indicates a stretched rubber band.
The problem is that with Stockcharts, you can't get 5 minute charts over more than a month, so it's difficult to make any historical comparisons.
And the little bet of selling last week has not corrected the many divergences existing.
But they can last "longer than is possible".
thanks Roger, all I wanted was a nice relaxing weekend now I am sweating bullets thinking I am too aggressive looking for the spx minis to fill there gap at 1531!!! do you show a gap at that price or is my data vendor providing bear bait for me?
i am hoping for it to fill before I go long but now i am nervous!
Didn't we get a gap down on the 10th and a gap up on the 12th?
I would love to see that $tick make a panic dip early next week and maybe fill that gap.
Mike Burk's historical stats have next week as being weak early but with a gain overall.
Aren't we supposed to get that Airedale low soon?
Besides, if you make any money you'll just blow it at TAO.
I drooped 4k on two bottles of Crystal and got a booth at body english with a bunch of people I never met!
then the waitress signed a 500 dollar tip because i didnt sign the reciept! Vegas aint cheap
