Indicator notes that I've collected. Added the link to IYB's SS and his comments today. Also at bottom of page is Chichi2's TICK & TRIN with Bull/Bear Criteria
"Just in case I wasn't clear yesterday, the Sentinels were indicating new highs for this move lie ahead, BUT this is where I watch the momentum indicators very carefully for signs that momentum is dropping off and thus the uptrend is coming to an end. IF we see negative divergences on the mo readings when prices reach new highs ahead, then any subsequent SS sell signal will be actionable. If, OTOH, this price push gives us some new mo highs, then this indicates that the top is STILL not in view. I remain long.
Just how I view things from my little perch, fwiw.....Best, D"

Notes: Tickq >+ = > Bullish. SUM < - 1200 =oversold or Bullish. NAMO near +50 = overbought and near -50 =
oversold. TrinQ > # = oversold and < # = overbought.
Indicators that use advancing and declining issues to determine the amount of participation in the movement of the stock market are called "breadth" indicators.
Examples of monetary indicators are interest rates, the money supply, consumer and corporate debt, and inflation. Due to the vast quantity of monetary indicators, I only discuss a few of the basic monetary indicators in this book.
Sentiment indicators focus on investor expectations--often before those expectations are discernible in prices. With an individual security, the price is often the only measure of investor sentiment available. However, for a large market such as the New York Stock Exchange, many more sentiment indicators are available. These include the number of odd lot sales (i.e., what are the smallest investors doing?), the put/call ratio (i.e., how many people are buying puts versus calls?), the premium on stock index futures, the ratio of bullish versus bearish investment advisors, etc.
"Contrarian" investors use sentiment indicators to determine what the majority of investors expect prices to do; they then do the opposite. The rational being, if everybody agrees that prices will rise, then there probably aren't enough investors left to push prices much higher. This concept is well proven--almost everyone is bullish at market tops (when they should be selling) and bearish at market bottoms (when they should be buying).
The third category of market indicators, momentum, show what prices are actually doing, but do so by looking deeper than price. Examples of momentum indicators include all of the price/volume indicators applied to the various market indices (e.g., the MACD of the Dow Industrials), the number of stocks that made new highs versus the number of stocks making new lows, the relationship between the number of stocks that advanced in price versus the number that declined, the comparison of the volume associated with increased price with the volume associated with decreased price, etc.
Given the above three groups of market indicators, we have insight into:
1. The external monetary conditions affecting security prices. This tells us what security prices should do.
2. The sentiment of various sectors of the investment community. This tells us what investors expect prices to
do.
3. The current momentum of the market. This tells us what prices are actually doing.
CPC Put/Call Ratio : The higher the level of the P/C Ratio, the more bearish these investors are on the market. Conversely, lower readings indicate high Call volume and thus bullish expectations. The P/C Ratio is a contrarian indicator. When it reaches "excessive" levels, the market usually corrects by moving the opposite direction.
NAAD Advance / Decline : Prices usually decline after entering the overbought level above 1.25 and usually rally after entering the oversold level below 0.90.
NAHL New Highs - New Lows : The New Highs-New Lows indicator ("NH-NL") displays the daily difference between the number of stocks reaching new 52-week highs and the number of stocks reaching new 52-week lows. The NH-NL indicator oscillates around zero. If the indicator is positive, the bulls are in control. If it is negative, the bears are in control. It is helpful to confirm the current trend.
NAMO McClellan Oscillator : Buy signals are typically generated when the McClellan Oscillator falls into the oversold area of -70 to -100 and then turns up. Sell signals are generated when the oscillator rises into the overbought area of +70 to +100 and then turns down.
NASI Summation Index : Look for major bottoms when the Summation Index falls below -1,300.
Look for major tops to occur when a divergence with the market occurs above a Summation Index level of +1,600. The beginning of a significant bull market is indicated when the Summation Index crosses above +1,900 after moving upward more than 3,600 points from its prior low (e.g., the index moves from -1,600 to +2,000).
QQV Volatility Index
Tick
TrinQ Short Term Trading Arms Index : The Arms Index is primarily a short-term trading tool. The Index shows whether volume is flowing into advancing or declining stocks. If more volume is associated with advancing stocks than declining stocks, the Arms Index will be less than 1.0; if more volume is associated with declining stocks, the Index will be greater than 1.0.

Mr Dev's words of wisdom with RD's RUT charts
"I've learned over the years of trading that each of my trading time frames usually needs a top test,.. before continuing up ..
or a back kiss before more down,..if that is the case for that trend... before trading on.
Trading in and out of those set ups has been very rewarding and I look forward to playing the set ups over and over again..!
It ain't rocket science ! Enjoy "

All about 'Monoline'...
http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=24778
A few monthly charts with borrowed format from 'Teaparty'. Of note is the MACDH lower column. I remember reading a note a long time ago by 'Mystifier' that the column size represents strength of either bulls or bears.
The China market's parabolic curve is enticing to say the least. Watching for an opportunity to go long FXP.
I added Oil, Gold and Dollar charts as there is chance that a Global recession could put pressure on commodities. Watching for an opportunity to go long DUG.
A few TA notes by 'selecto' at TT
1. The BB centerline (20 ma) has turned for down. These turns tend to run.
2. The upper band is flaring away opposite the direction of price whilst the lower band is yielding. This is a continuation signal until we loose the upper flare.
3. The Mac cross for down shows no histogram warning of a pause.
4. There is a scholastic “sell” signal. There is an OBV “sell” signal.
5. Volatility has not reached the level of previous lows, and shows no warnings of leg reversal. In fact the VIX chart itself is somewhat bullish. Mac, for instance, has crossed for up below the 0 line.

Eddy,
Your helped worked great...thanks
I got those charts here http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www
Try registering for free and then click the charts in my last post, maybe that will work. I couldn't find the post where I got the charts. Basically, they show that auto sales peaked along with the housing market in 2005.
Also there is some interesting TA videos that are presented once or twice a day. Click the 'Ticks' button and/or read the detailed market commentary at 'The Market Ticker'. I'm just taking them with a grain of salt and not trading to them. But the guy that puts them on is rather entertaining to say the least.
I'm now holding a new 50% position in QID taken Tuesday and today.
Hope this helps,
ED

>>> "I trade primarily off the summation index. Short when its negative, long when its positive. This went negative a few weeks ago. Then I fine tune with cumulative NYAD and the EMA 10/55 cross. These all went negative a week or so ago. That put us in what I call the "danger zone" - i.e. oversold summation which historically has been the time when the bigger wipe outs occur - i.e just when everyone thinks we're "oversold enough" and expects a bounce back." Th'ks to Maineman
>> "I would draw a distinction between predicting crashes ahead of the fact........ and recognizing them when they are underway- and going with the trend rather that arguing with it. The former is almost impossible....though occasionally happens. The latter is a matter of experience. Just my view." IYB @ TT 05-14-10
>>> "Heck, a long enough trending trader could look to the weekly for clues-and in that regard, before I think any large drop has a chance in he.., I'd sure like to see the weekly MACD roll over-and yes you can wait for it, cause there is no better entry than a backtest or backiss, imho." Th'ks to the spookyone @ TT
>> "The hallmark of a good trader is to recognize the difference between a trending and sideways market and use appropriate strategies. You can still use EMAs in a sideways market. You just gotta use faster EMAs and make exits on Oscillator OB/OS conditions. In a trending market, you switch to slower EMAs and throw away the Oscillators for the purposes of entries and exits. Oscillators should be only used to measure the strength of pullbacks to determine potential exhaustion points in a trending market." NAV at TT

>>>"I'm old and I'm good and I'm still here! Seriously, a good trader has several tools in his/her toolbox. And the ones who are still around (like me) know what market they're playing in. In a trending mkt you grab trends. In chop you scalp. After 1-2 hours each night of chart and technical review you get a pretty good idea of what tomorrow is likely to be like. You write down your trade plan. You reassess in the AM after analyzing the overnight trade. You mark down the open, the first 30 min, and you see if your plan jibes with the actual action. Then you reach into your toolbox and... At least that's how this "old" trader does it..." Th'ks to Maineman at TT
>> "Fib, while our methods of technical analysis may be quite different from time to time (though perhaps less different than you might imagine), I truly appreciate this excellent overview of trading/market philosophy, and wholeheartedly agree! All that really matters to a successful trader is the direction of the market(s). While others constantly try to explain why the market "has it wrong", successful traders endeavor only, to the best of their ability, to be correct with the market, realizing that while WE may be wrong (and often are), the market is never wrong. The market is just the market - and our job is to be right with it..... {the market}. While others constantly ask "why?", winning traders only ask "when?" Th'ks to IYB http://www.traders-talk.com/mb2/index.php?showtopic=114546&st=20
>>> " I scale in. If I take a 50% position to open, I won't add the remaining 50% until my initial read has been proven correct, i.e. I'm now in the money. I use stops, so if my initial read is incorrect enough, I'm out with a minimal loss. " U.F.O. at TT.{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}{C}
>>"Firstly, using an indicator like standard MACD is a easy way to be taken to the cleaners. The indicator has been system tested over many decades and it produces less than 50% odds. It's a well known fact. There is no need to debate about it. I absolutely do not use momentum the way you describe and i do not understand where you get that idea that it is the way i use. A few things about momentum. Irrespective of whatever indicator you use, use slow settings for measuring OB/OS. Use fast setting for measuring divergences. Otherwise divergences will not be seen so late in the game that the meat of the move will be over." NAV at TT
>>>"Keep in mind that the role of a bull market is to keep you out all the way up until the top, whereas the role of a bear market is to keep you in all the way down until the bottom. Be aware of market psychology so as not to get trapped in either position." Dan Basch / SafeHaven
>>"What's interesting to be aware of is that liquidity waves move through the financial system very much like the ocean waves one sees from a pier as it approaches land. The first area in which excesses in liquidity moves into is gold, and then in about 3 to 4 months, it eventually finds its way into commodities before finally moving into the debt and equity arenas. However, since we are so fully saturated right now, this time element has shortened over the last several months. Soooo...what you are actually seeing now in the commodities sector since the beginning of October is what gold instructed us to look for in August and September. This is why one should always keep an eye on the gold market as it provides reliable expectations for the other asset classes well before anyone recognizes this structural change in trend." Fib at TT 10-21-09
>>>"First step of a decline is to break the bull momentum in the internals, and you get a pullback in price to early supports. Next, snapback attempts, then a price break." tommyt at TT.
>>"Let's see a test of that hourly Nasdaq high here on lighter volume accompanied by even stronger volume breaking some candle lows before we jump to any false conclusions..." SemiBizz at TT.
>>>"Price of Treasuries and the VIX. Both are good measures of systemic risk; Today there is a divergence: Vix sees less risk in the system then Treasuries. Currency market is not showing its hand." jjc at TT.
>>"When everything lines up, it either turns out to be a bad trade or it's too late. The best money is made when the technical odds are tilted slighlty in your favor, sorrounded with tremendous uncertainity and pressure to take the trade." NAV at TT.
>>>"I'm guessing it will run up so fast that calls will sell like hot cakes. Just in time for WWW and OPEX next week. The criminals can smell this and are ready to sell calls to crazed buyers.
But first, they gonna shake the tree a bit, so they can make these guys chase, I think. Nothing like being super long, then getting stopped out, then watching it take off without you.. you just go crazy and shove it all in at the highs." dcengr at TT 08-10-09

Silver has been following our script for weeks now and still looks set to complete a 3-wave A-B-C correction, with a likely scenario being shown on its 6-month chart below. Silver is now underperforming gold which is to be expected given how silver speculators have just been steamrollered by the plunge that followed huge margin hikes. Like the survivors of the Battle of Waterloo they are showing rather less enthusiasm to get back into the fray, which is why we are not expecting silver to make new highs on the current B-wave rally and have adjusted our target downwards slightly for this move to the $43 area. This is different from gold which could easily make new highs on its B-wave rally before dropping back. 05-25-11
