What is of most use to me is the difference between advancing and declining share volume as each day progresses. There is the gross difference and then one can also create a ratio by dividing the smaller # into the larger. I market - or + depending on whether advancing or declining shares are ahead. To keep it simple I just use the first 4 decimal places for billions and 3 decimal places for millions to create the ratio. The example would be 945 divided by 570. I would round it off to 1.66 and assign a - symbol and record it. I keep a calculator on the desk for that purpose. I keep an ongoing report of both. Opening, midday and closing. I also use refresh inbetween to stay on top of changes. It is always open in a window to access quickly. Interesting how the nasdaq market is positive and the NYSE is negative. There are no reported Dow or S&P #s like this anymore that I have been able to find or I would use those. They stopped reporting that information somewhere around 2 years ago if my memory is working. lol
