Monty ; Seems like it would be hard to do, like on the S&P A/D line instead of each issue being counted as 1, it would be counted as a percentage of the total cording to the amount of shares outstanding Ie- weighted like GE would be a 3.5 while UK would be a 1, Does your data include outstanding shares, and could you devise a formula that would weight them. This seems a lot of trouble and wont often produce much that you couldn't just about get by eye balling the up / down volume. vs the A/Ds More than any thing I was just pointing out the fact that at times the A/Ds may not truly spell the breadth of the market, on days like today it can be no doubt it was narrow..but some question about just how narrow does exist. I kinda think it could be more trouble and time consuming than it would be worth. Jim
