    You're trading the futures? Day trading or position? The answer depends on this.

    Thanks. Ok, so swing trading. Use RSI on a 1 hour chart, or a daily, pending where the RSI is then just apply basic trend following principles. Add water then stir.

  5. umm
    The RSI is classified as a momentum oscillator, measuring the velocity and magnitude of directional price movements

    Relative strength is a ratio of a stock price to a market average.


    two different things..

    Worst thing he can do is accept a "can't be done" from someone on the Internet.

  8. keeping it simple is not a bad idea respectively..

    i mean you could plot every constituents strength on one chart..

    or you could take the basket he is talking about turn it into a ticker and plot it over the index

    or you could take the baskets/etf's moving average and just plot those against the index in percentage changes instead of price
