================= Yes, several ways to do it; 50 dma , with 10 years or more of data is fine also. Like to Look at high to low %/low to high/patterns...... QQQQ $120 hi/ downtrended to 2o area, SPY $150 area to 75 area. Must be longer term trends chart you gave ; J Yen has made some very sloppy moves/gaps , glad wasnt swing/position trading that.So ones personality had to like it also However QQQQ makes some wide swings , not preferable to some Not sure how they figured S&P 400 excells others; but thats fine, cause didnt like it as much.
And that list looks partly like it was compled by an editor, more than a trader, ranking lumber/porkbellies as ''trendy'' in a practical sense could be hogwash.
