Doug, Here's some TD stuff on BUS: 1) TDROC1 2) TDPOQ on TDROC1 3) Current Sequential 4) Current Setup 5) Last two TDST values 1) TDROC1 Note, my program outputs info in RAW form right now...so here's how to interpret it: First line tells you how many days the signal lasted and if it was overbought or oversold. Second line is the start date (open,high,low,close,volume) Third Line is the end date (open,high,low,close,volume) Brief explanation of TDROC1 & TDPOQ: A day is overbought/oversold when the day's close is > 102.5% or < 97.5% of the close 12 days prior, respectively. A signal occurs when you have a sequence of 1-15 days of oversold or overbought territory and then the signal crosses back into neutral territory, and a short term buy or sell signal might be evident. However, if the signal is GREATER than 15 days long, you are in SEVERE overbought/oversold territory, and deMark says it is prudent to refrain from trading until the signal returns to neutral, and then registers another overbought/oversold reading, this time 15 or less days in length. [there is one exception to this, using the TD alternate oscillator interpretation, but the exact interpretation escapes me at the moment. It does allow you to trade after a severe reading though....] Finally, TDPOQ is a sort of confirmation of the BUY or SELL signal that the TDROC1 signal throws. Ok, onto the numbers! Here are the most recent Signals for BUS: (the quick summary is that BUS is in SEVERE OVERSOLD Territory....)
