Subj : Market Action To : All From : Paul Rogers Date : Wed Apr 27 2005 07:09 pm Content-type: text/plain It was a "bad news, good news" sort of day. More economic data was released that drove prices down this morning, and then the petroleum inventory was released. That took the wind out of the oil speculators' sails. Oil fell -5%, and stocks recovered. Prices and volume were up modestly, volume +5% above average, which continues to climb. Remember what I said about being careful of your math yesterday? POP QUIZ! Close your books and get out a pencil and paper. In the morning a train runs between a local town and the nearest big city which are 60 miles apart. But this is the "milk run", picking up milk and produce at every stop along the way. It takes three hours, averaging only 20MPH. But in the evening it makes the commuter run home, straight through, in an hour, averaging 60MPH. What's its average speed for the round trip? GO! Price Vola- Momen- Volume Oscil- Summ.

If I did though, well, I might use something like this. (Be warned!! It tends to whipsaw around signal points!)
