other than the question above the main guist
was to say again
an index can move up when a few thinly traded stocks
move up more, than the heavy traded ones move down.

In short the market can be running opposite the index..and
when it does TA on that index is worse than useless it will kill you.


I am totally confused

I thought these were the things that made a difference:

their weight in the index...their overall impact on the index.
how the
index is being calculated: price-weighted, cap-weighted, or equal dollar weighted

can you give me an example of what you are talking about?
