BS indicator seems to be quantifying negative posts (at least that's how i read the vague description). It makes a lot of sense that there is a high correlation between price getting pushed down and negative posts appearing. But BSI is probably confusing cause and effect. i.e. not that negative posting causes the price to fade (although it may not be without influence), but rather that the price going down allows all the shorts to come out and twist and shout 'i told you so'. As usual they will ask longs to prove a negative such as 'if the product is so good, and production is working why doesn't the stock go up'? But nothing proves that the posters are paid touts of the money on the short side. Could also be that they are just fixated on their belief that they know more than the longs, and when the stock goes down they like to come around and puff themselves up. It's the so-called Cockroach effect: in summer they come out in droves. This does not prove that the cockroaches cause summer to occur, nor that they are paid touts of the dept of sanitation.

A open mind is all one needs.. to see that its about numbers and probabilities and I show you in color. Pallisard, The BS formula is not based on the laws of physics but on the laws of mathematics. Every trading day delivers a precise number to the negative neural network which reflects the negative sentiment about the traded stock on that day. If you prefer to call it by a different name be my guest. I selected the expression BS because that is in my opinion the correct name. Conventional TA in my humble opinion- is on the way out. "What a waste of time that was" people will say. Because in a decade if not much sooner people around the world will leave their trading decisions to neural networks which preclude emotions and ...... But back to the task on hand. So far all you have seen are stocks which are subjected to manipulation. In one way or the other.Not because I say so but because the BS detector shows me in colored numbers. In order that you see the difference I have made up for you numbers for MSFT as I am interested to see if shorts invade the stock from which they stayed away so far. For obvious reasons. You will also notice that the news about MSFT released Friday afternoon had no obvious leaks which would have allowed taking a short position. But you clearly can see this "leakage" in some of the delivered stocks so far. If you look for it. Of course. daytrader.cc There you find confirmed what I mentioned before about clean stocks. I am looking forward to your comments or critique. Regards and have fun, ED PS.I did not take the remarks of Dennis in any way as offensive.I welcome any type of comment.Even from shorts.No problems whatsoever. The other point I like to make is the relationship between the rise and fall of the volume and the BS number.
