The Big Four in order of importance, IMO:
1) Price Action ....UP or DOWN...OK
2) Moving Averages ...Slopes OR CROSS(Smaller above larger) ?
3) STO SLOPE or 20-80 ?
4) MACD Slope of 8 via Histogram OK
Pick any day or hour on a chart and decide if it's a case of Up, Down, or flat. . .
Decisions by humans will always involve an element of judgment, probably influenced by emotion and a few extraneous factors, e.g., talking heads on CNBC, eurozone debt issues, earnings season, etc.
The Big Four in order of importance, IMO:
1) Price Action
2) Moving Averages
3) STO
4) MACD
What are the 4 ?
(1)MACD(x,y,1) = PPO(x,y,1)
(2)Sto ????
(3) ?
(4) ?
Email is acceptable.
I'm interested in price action, moving averages, and two indicators; here MACD and STO.
When they all line up we've got a trend. Sometimes 3 of 4 will do.
You know I have to back test back to 1/3/2011 !
So let's decide in words, what you want to do ?

Am assuming you want to talk about TNA and two averages.
Find PPO(x,y,1) easier to read.
Not yet!
Strong move higher today. . .a very bullish month.
How much longer before a pullback? No sign yet.
The title of this board has changed to: CHARTS: $SPX, TNA, and AAPL.
$SPX, TNA, and AAPL all turned Up this AM.
See hourly charts above.
$SPX and TNA Hourly turned Down yesterday.
. . .and continue Down today.
S&P futures strong, up 14 points at this time, as finance ministers and German and French government heads plan to recapitalize some Eurozone banks.
TNA headed lower?

Climbing has its risks. Descending is riskier.
I call this my "Watch the Ropes" chart:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SPY&p=15&yr=0&mn=0&dy=5&id=p06043488979
Be flexible, use good judgment, take risks aimed to win.
SPX and TNA trends continue Up as May arrives.
Let's see if May brings any significant directional changes.
iPad 2 cost?
Not more, probably about the same but with more features, e.g., more memory.
Maybe less cost, but doubtful.
Still an excellent value.
IPAD 2 out on March 2, 2011
What will it cost ?
The daily and hourly trends are Up once again.
A main question for this week: Will we see higher highs or lower lows? Or perhaps progress in those directions?
Many things are possible in this complex world. What constitutes progress is a point of view.
$SPX and TNA: Hourly trend Down; Daily continues Up.
Let's see where this goes after the close today.

I like your charts in the IBOX.
Lisa
You know that you can delete posts ?
Four charts worth watching are now in the iBox:
$SPX and TNA: Daily and Hourly.
TNA and $SPX Daily and Weekly continue Up.
. . .but how much longer? Correction overdue.

Read it, but more work needed.
Humans not that much better than fellow primates at game theory:

Imagine a chimp day trader (working for banana slices, of course).
Get in early. . .and the algorithm is:

$NYA (NYSE composite index) gave a hint yesterday as it moved, late session, and closed above the 20, 50, and 200 SMAs:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$NYA&p=5&yr=0&mn=0&dy=3&id=p74011831907&a=223030595
I always like to watch for the intersection of those three MAs.
$SPX: An intraday rally, failing?

Thanks
Please let us know when the SPX_W goes to down.
Weekly charts: TNA, Down; $SPX, Up
Daily charts: Both TNA and $SPX, Down
Lisa
APPLE APP called Stock Alerts for $2.99
Seems very nice so far.
Uses Yahoo real time for input.
TNA is Daily Down, but in process of counter trend rally.
$SPX is Daily Up.
AAPL is Daily Down, but strong counter trend Up.
Lisa

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=TNA&p=D&yr=0&mn=4&dy=0&id=p78600693047
$SPX, nearing Down signal:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$SPX&p=D&yr=0&mn=4&dy=0&id=p17751638452
$SPX started moving higher around early March 2009. Here's a weekly chart of price action during the preceding 2.5 years.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$SPX&p=W&st=2006-07-01&en=2009-03-31&id=p22618706981&a=220756428
My impression is that the indicators most useful to me are the 20 SMA and Stochastic. Other indicators don't add much if anything on a chart this size, but may, in some cases, offer additional useful information on alternative size time frame, etc. charts.
The most important indicators are price action itself in combination with the 20 SMA.
One can begin by asking:
What is the slope of the 20 SMA? Up, Flat, or Down.
Then, for example, use the Sto (turning up) to enter long trades at times of strength (20 SMA slope is Up) and the opposite, or short trades, during times of weakness, when the 20 SMA slope is Down. And so on. . .
Two year weekly; 2010, busy mid year:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$SPX&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p74735102924&a=221436578
Probably best to use this one in conjunction with hourly or daily charts for actual trades.

I would like to take your SPX WEEKLY back 20 years,
but I have no BUY_BOX nor SELL_BOX.(g)
