Hi NB, First off thanks for the update. I love to see other people's work - obviously you've been working on your approach. Do you have "The Flaming Bull" for the October 1998 time period. I'm wondering what the transition looked like from a bear market to the emerging bull market that occurred during that time period??? Sure shows some serious moneyflow going into Intc huh. No doubt about it that is the work horse of this September Rally. Nice to see Cohu in the volume/moneyflow charts.My eye has caught Aetrium both weeks - I guess volume is so small - I don't follow it but recognise it as a competitor to Cohu and the poor stock has been drying up on the vine ???? Thanks again I really enjoy learning new thought processes. I like your approach - because volume and money flow are what it's all about. These markets do one thing and really only one thing - SUPPLY and DEMAND. I can remember way back in Chicago when FNN was black and white - there was an advisor named Mark Leibowitz who used and coined a "Volume Reversal" theory.It was very helpful to my early investment developement. Thanks again - I'll learn more as time goes on. Bob

Hi Robert, >>The first multi colored chart shows the all positives taking a bigger chunk of stocks as the 200 ma stocks become more positive.Even though the overall numbers decline- that must be the 50 day dropping off??<< home.mindspring.com Yes. Declining MACD (12,26,9 weekly) usually causes the drop off.Stocks (of the 250) that are not represented in the chart have negative MACD (below the signal or falling)....unless both 50 and 200 day MA are negative, then they are represented as brown. I define the two MAs as positive when they are trending up rather than the stock price above the MA. The count of (+++) stocks has remained fairly static in the last 9 trading days. Just out of curiosity, let's see how these stocks differed in the last nine trading days: home.mindspring.com >>That second chart shows a snake like winding from the left side to the right - then a bottoming and a move back to the left.Have you used it for timing bottoms and doing naked put sales?<< home.mindspring.com Based on this chart, two consecutive days of up or down trend has proven to be a good signal. Tuesday's close was the first down day and the three consecutive days following have been DOWN. Wednesday I could see during the market day that the signal would occurred. Like a deer in the headlights I did nothing. <ggg> It's a rather simple chart, but I feel it tells a lot about market trends...short and long term. Its all based on this chart's data: home.mindspring.com It plots how many days, in the last 50 trading days ,that more stocks have had overall positive technicals than negative. >>Ok I'm clueless here - Cohu is in the red volatility. What is the correlation when a stock is high or low on the individual stock volatility sort???? << I think you are referring to this chart: home.mindspring.com COHU's average intraday price volatility in the last 5 days (3.61%) is lower than it has been in the last 25 days (4.38%). It was highest in the previous week (ending 12/7) at 5.11%. This table shows what stocks have high price volatility and the volatility trend...green up, red down. Total return and intraday price trend counts are also show to help determine a trading candidate. Buddy
