To all---Need a source of info. Sorry to break into this thread but the participants here seem knowledgeable.
We use a system that, depending on circumstances, sometimes uses cummulative DAILY advances and declines to trigger a buy or sell signal but sometimes uses cummulative WEEKLY advances and declines to trigger a signal.
The problem is with the weekly figures that might trigger a buy or sell. We don't know until Saturday (when we get WEEKLY advance/decline info from a newspaper) whether we have a signal. It would be nice to act on Friday if we could.
What we need is a source that computes advances and declines on a weekly cummulative basis. For example, on Tuesday, how many stocks so far are up for the week and how many are down? On Thursday, how many stocks are up for the week; how many are down?
With this information, we can more easily calculate what advance/decline figures on Friday would give us a weekly buy or sell.
Does anyone know of a source to assist in this effort? Thanks much.
