im not sure what you were tracking in the spreadsheet so i cant comment on that. my guess is it wall all pricing based and had no TA inputs. not that there is anything wrong with that..after all, price is how we are measured. one thing i can suggest is you look at the daily/weekly charts of the underlying dow jones sectors. i have links on my thread. it gives a snapshot of the whole lot. dont try it unless you have high speed access or could take awhile. also look at the intraday quote link to the sectors. remember you have to multiply the quotes by 1.5 to get the funds return. while some sector funds move less or slowly in relation to the ndx, here is a copy of a post i put together awhile back to show which funds are the real movers when it comes time to launch a long acct position.
