• AD Moving Average Cross
  When the moving average of advancing issues and cmoving average of declining issues cross (usually at slightly less than 50%), a new trend may have started.
• Constituent Uptrends Crossing Above 50%
  When 50% or more of the constituents of an index or ETF are in an uptrend, chances are the composite, itself, will remain in an uptrend. Similarly, when constituent trends slip below 50% chances are the uptrend is over for the time being.
  -
• % New 1 Year Highs / Lows > 30%
  This is not a trading signal, but indicates a probable area that the immediately previous trend will reverse.
  -
• AD Histogram
  When advancing or declining issues are greater than 95% of total issues traded for the composite, that is a potential short term short trading signal.
  -
• AD Volume Histogram
  When advancing or decling volume is greater than 95% of total component volume for the composite, that is a potential short term trading signal.
  -
• Trend Channel Pivot - Close Above / Below Cross
  A close above or below the Trend Channel “Pivot” is, in combination with other confirming or filtering indicators, a very good indication that a trend has developed in the direction of the cross.
