Gee Whiz Karl, what did you do break into a government computer? :-) I copied it to a file so that I can study it. What Jim and I are trying to do is find something that will tell us when the INDICES are telling a LIE or confirms what the indices are saying...kind of like we are giving them a lie detector test. We plan on narrowing these down to maybe 2 or 3 at the most but I wanted to wait until this thing resolved itself before deciding on which ones to keep. Hell, we may decide none of it is worth while when it is all said and done. What software are you using to perform these with? Have you studied them to see if you can spot a trend or divergence? I can program QP2 to do most of that but it will not format it the way you have. Are you pulling it into a spreadsheet and calculating the %ages or does you software handle this? The slopes are interesting in that they should paint a picture of the momentum, correct? In my spreadsheet, I had to segregate and look at each analysis separately otherwise I became overpowered by the information.(ie,,compared ma on one worksheet, slopes on another worksheet, etc.) Have you decided whether or not you can see any pattens of money flow by looking at the various sectors? %x200u = % of stocks crossing up through 200 day moving average %x200d = % of stocks crossing down through 200 day moving average I have give a little thought to the %x200u and %x200d in the past but wondered if it would show me anything...what do you think? I have other questions but will have to study this some more. I would be interested in seeing your scripting(parameters) you are using the run this against your database. Monty
