Here's one source that has intra-day numbers on market breadth, though you have to manually update it.

http://finance.yahoo.com/marketupdate Look on the left side for market statistics for advancing and declining issues and volume.

Right now its showing Friday ended at 10:1 Up volume to down volume. Close to that for A/D issues. That's pretty bullish. But now we need follow through.

I like A/D Issues ratio to be above 1.2 for a bullish bias, and below .8 for a bearish bias. 1 is neutral (same number of stocks going up as down). Over 2 is very bullish and under .5 is very bearish. Really extreme days tend to close on the highs (like Friday) or lows.

My broker used to have A/D intraday that I could feed into my charts, but their A/D has been down for a while, so I have to approximate the ratio by using yahoo finance. Just glance at it and you can tell we are having an extreme day that shold not be traded against.


There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second, we can turn the tables on Resistance. This second, we can sit down and do our work.
