US major market etfs Europe major country etfs Asia country etfs Commodity country producer etfs( some overlap) South America country etfs BRIC ( again a view overlapping with others) US treasury etfs Major currency etfs Major commodity etfs(oil,ng,copper,gold,silver) 100 Industries( avg of 5 stocks per industry) Looking in the right direction may produce trade ideas. An example would Be to focus on internet content providers vs. software of service providers for the past year. Or, stay away from the underperformng oil and gas industries the past year. Splittimg hairs? Maybe. More general observations such as Europe country etfs have been performing better than South American etfs may be enough. Of course real time observations for the daily or weekly bar trader/investor would be the goal here. Noticing changes with a wide feild of view( listed above) No rules. Open thread. Exchange of ideas. Just talk. I am learning to save an excel chart as a .whatever to post. I will gather some relative Strength of things tommorrow and post.
Uploading image(s) for a some markets for the last year or so. X-axis is days. Yaxis is % so one can look at relative performance. An average % line is also buried in there. This is work in progress and programing is not a strength so pardon errors. This is Day1 and a lot to absorb. I wont be stressing resources by doing this frequently. There is one more post with 4 additonal charts coming. That is if this works!
