According to the WSJ, the upside volume was close to 95% of the total volume-so yes the volume criterion is satisfied. To be a bonafide Lowry's 90% day, the total points gained (by all the individual stocks in the NYSE) also needs to be greater than 90% of the total points up or down. The second number requires at the minimum a spreadsheet for calculation and I dont know if the second criterion was satisfied by today's action. Most people (including Bob Pisani on CNBC) use only the volume numbers when they refer to a certain trading session being a 90% day.

Kaiser, Wednesday's NYSE (all issues) price changes were $2313 up, $140 down according to the daily NYSE data dumps... which is about 94% up, so should fit the Lowrey criteria. Wednesday's action followed a 2.8% price change up day on Tuesday.... day trader's dream. Randy N.

Kaiser,

How do you get that data?
