I usually follow trin pretty close and it's been a great indicator of market direction lately. today however, it was extremely choppy and didn't move up past 1.2 until after 3 est despite widespread downward pressure. Can anybody explain the anomaly to me in terms of underlying buying and selling that was going on?? Thanks, Swish.....
TRIN ended the day at about 1 yesterday (Wednesday), and was below 1 for most of the afternoon. I do not see how this is possible: On the NYSE, there were 405 gainers yesterday and 2231 losers. The top 10 trading volume listed stocks were all down yesterday. I cannot believe that 5 times as much money flowed into the gainers as flowed into the losers. Doesn't anybody understand???
The TRIN is defined as (AI/DI) / (AV/DV) where AI = Advancing Issues, DI = Declining Issues, AV=Advancing Volume etc. The numbers for the Nyse for the 10/9 are: AI = 478, DI = 2794, AV = 305767900; DV = 1842629700. So TRIN = (478/2794)/(305767900/1842629700) = 0.17108/0.16594 = 1.03 So that looks about right. Regards Bernd Kuerbs
BKeuerbs, How to you access TRIN data during the day. Dow you use a calculator and just figure it out each time? Can I set it up in ESignal? Can I view it on a chart and access it as a symbol? Thanks, Mr. DNA
No, yes and yes. It depends upon what you subscribed to with eSignal. TRIN (and Tick) should be part of the indices available in eSignal. regards Bernd Kuerbs
