Based on past performance, the price curve will retrace within the trend lines ( the rubber band effect in action.) I won't hazard a guess as to how the day to day action will unfold.

An update of the DJIA and Transportation Indices that were showing such a strong divergence in December. Using the Transportation Index as a guide to DJIA performance has been misleading to say the least, so the caution issued by Colin ( copied in my post of December 24) seems well founded. Just when it appears you have a useful tool, the handle breaks
The breakout above the upper trend line I noted a few posts ago may go on for a while to develop a higher channel but I am still very cautious. I felt comfortable with Colin's Big Picture summary last week which I believe was one of his most deliberate diary statements.

I should have said next week, 144 days since the July '06 low, and we have already reached the fib extension from the July '06 low to the Sept '06 high.

Have not seen a chart on the dow for a month - even if it is a most unattractive sight . There are several points of interest close to where the XDO index is: * The initial drop in the index is right about there - could just drop again soon... * The available puts (DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE INDEX warrants) are 12,100 points - the others are too far out of the money to consider IMO * The 150 day SMA is somewhere around there - lets hope this line provides some resistance. * Heavy duty support right about there as well - looks to be generally holding ok. Unfortunately 11,700 is the next heavy duty support - not worth considering just yet.(this is where the 200 D_SMA is positioned) ... Perhaps there will be further correction lower so I am not captain buying in just right now - but say the end of the march the future will be a lot clearer and picking the eyes out of the market will be a lot easier. You have to find a level of risk that suits your nature and run with that strategy. Chart:
I guess one need to keep one's legs together for a little longer

Three months since any commentary here, and the chart is beginning to look ugly: index value down on increased volume, MACD, CCI & RSI all looking poorly. Chart: Short term support has not offered support!

The 2001/2002 corrections is long enough to last us the next 10 years without having another one.As it has reached such a low base I was and still is pretty confident that it will go on for at least another 2 to 3 years longer.Like any Bull Market the predictions that it was a Bear market went back as long as 2005 where our top Bear,Cow in name was forecasting that it was going to "crash" any time and then they could wagged into the market after that.Whilst well experienced traders choose to step aside waiting for the corrections to come.Even the cab driver is less bullish, surely now is a "true" Bull market which is climbing a "wall of worries".With restraint from so many, the Bull market will go on a lot longer than the usual 4-5 years Bull which usually follow by a Bear year.Having been in the market in the 70s and 80s, in which commodities had fared less favourably, I was a bit reluctant to get on to the resources gravy train like tryhay, rederob and a few others and thus missed out on the "turbo" ride in the last 2 years.It is not too late as I have now gradually reallocate my portfolio to resource bias,I can actually see the difference in a very short space of time.Just looking at the economics of things,the BULL market is here to stay for some time yet and the commodities train is only getting warm up recently, so there is still a lot of steam yet.M&A activities in this sector will see it going to a level that we wouldn't have witnessed in the past in our life time.Out of those that I have got my money riding on is likely to be taken over by another or one of my favourites may turn predator.There is a tremendous amount of excitement in the air. This will go on for some time yet till China and India stop importing and the rest of the world intend to stop their economic growth.Mutual objectives to see that our economies do not experience a BOOM/BUST effect will ensure various governments moderate their growth behaviour to ensure that this enjoyment will last a longer period. NB: At time of writing,AWC which I hold looks like a likely victim for BHP and TTY looks like a likely predator for CSM if there is any truth in the media report.

Arn't these interesting times ~ obvious (after the event) fake out in XDO on 13th July. Just watched a video of Marc Faber ~ yes I know not so +ve a message, but a very intelligent man who plays the devil's advocate in this economic rationalist world. His video (paste into I.E. address line) <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmbl4apxcmy&mode=related&search=> shows how more than 3 months ago he saw this correction coming. Using Colin's marvelous Fibonacci tools (thank you Colin) I guess Dow will retrace to 127.375 (approx the Feb '07 peak), and on that basis am happy to pick up some short shorts monday morning. Chart for consideration:
Interestingly he is bullish on Gold: suggests long gold on retracement by about this time Also suggests industrial commodities (Hard C's) may be vunerable (perhaps with some exceptions - particularly "softs")

Volatility is likely to continue with the dow but the chart is starting to look a bit more +ve IMO. However the sub-prime drama looks set to continue "Standard & Poor's has defended its global ratings system, which has been heavily criticised in the wake of the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market in the United States. Chief economist, David Wyss, in Sydney on a lecture tour, said the agency followed stringent ratings procedures when assessing debt products. He said the pattern of recent failures was 'fairly typical' of a housing recession" well there you go with the 'R' word in today's THE AUSTRALIAN P21. Unfortunately we are caught up in the wash "Australian hedge fund manager, Basis Capital, has applied for bankruptcy protection for one of its funds that has sustained heavy losses from its investments in the United States (US) sub-prime mortgage market" today's THE AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW P1. Not to mention the xjo's unoriginal price movements.... I wonder how many rabbits B Bernanke has up his sleave? Daily chart: MACD starting to behave but looks like a retest upcoming...
Still holding on to my shorts...

With the DJIA about 2% above the daily 200EMA after the brief penetration below that level, my crystal ball says that there are three rather unremarkable possibilities. First there will be a recovery over the next few months to levels about 4% higher. Second there will be the start of a downturn lasting a year or longer in which case it must again fall below the 200EMA. Third the market will wobble about until the fear subsides and greed is once again the driving force. With the size of the current wobbles being up to 2% daily my play will be to enter by a stop roughly 0.5% above the current level with a stop about 0.25% below entry. The stops to be reset daily. The trading timeframe is mixed. The best result will be a painless entry into a six month trade. The intermediate result will be a quick profit of perhaps 1% in a couple of days. The worst case result is a loss of 0.25%. Overall, this is a situation where trading tactics are more important than anything more than very basic technical analysis.

No one interested in this topic for a couple of months - some oversight! Dow looks oversold and if the current support hold we may just see an impulsive move up ( santa rally time ). Daily chart:Some interesting divergence on the CCI and perhaps the MACD histogram. Looking for an RSI breakout before buying up big here.... Still looks like a topping formation set up to me though (Price action below the 200D_MA and its leveling out don't look Flash Harry)

FWIW potential head and shoulders pattern on DJIA; unfortunately the break of the neckline appears to have occurred, candle/s on not looking +ve ATM, momentum bulk -ve, 61% Fib support failed & now the price action is the wrong side of the 200D_MAs with volatility increasing ~ a long and distinguished list of -ve attributes for this guide to our XAO: looks like a viable scenario to me. If so, it's a worry (thank you "The Word") DJIA Daily chart: here is hoping 12,000 pulls the possible retrace....
& HC was saying no cause for alarm? I think there is plenty to see here if you care to look ~ If the dow has another shocker tonight I'm topping up on short shorts asap....
Happy trading DYOR

Ahoy Officer Tryhay Although not strictly a Technical Indicator I got up early on Saturday/ Friday Arvo NY time to watch the DOW and the flight of migrating birds in that hemisphere What I saw was truly amazing There was bad news really/ bad news reported all over the place and together with that the Yanks were coming into a long weekend!!! There were warning signs everywhere You could have bet London to a brick that the DOW would have had a really bad day But it didn't! As a seasoned seaman and always vigilant I watched the flight of those migrating birds in those couple of hours and witnessed that were were flying North and continued so until dusk Nearly all the days lost ground was made up in the afternoon It was truly remarkable It's no wonder the world markets have caught the Yanks off guard this time and better still on a Long week-end They will have to learn how to cage those migrating birds up if they ever expect to catch this Captain out Hey?

tryhay, Could this crazy model be right? I first saw this months ago and dismissed it as nutty, but perhaps not! http://www.tradersaffiliates.com/WEEKLY30.jpg (From http://www.tradersaffiliates.com/WEEKLY%20UPDATE.htm) McLaren says that for the current action to be proved a new up trend rather that a bear market counter trend, the S&P500 must break above 3/8ths of the move down, and hold above that level after 1st of May (99 calendar days from the top).

One needs an observant, open mind when trading and the price action & volume on the Dow suggest a powerful move is occurring here. To Look at the actual chart (posted below) I can not see the price action getting to higher than 13688 any time soon (but the chart perler posted suggests 13911 by anzac day (crazy or not who cares) Particularly with the 200D_MA upcoming: infact I'll be surprised if 13218 is busted ~ but who knows? Chart:
I still think top up time (even if for the short term)

ohk: Good choice for the Ceiling . I get, by Fibs, a spike to 13047-13159 may take place . Better if it halts or closes below 12937. See how far it gets with "[reduced]earnings exceeding [downward revised] estimates" .A good example is :U.S. stocks rally on Citigroup earnings" Citi reported : The -$1.02 per share loss exceeded the consensus estimate of -0.95. # Citi's Q1 revenue fell 48%. Go figure! By some the DOW has already given a BUY signal with the Close above 12743. Should be an interesting week . (Message edited by paddy on April 21, 2008)

Friday the DOW rose to 13132 and then retreated to close at 13058 . That was the first test of resistance at 13110-13112 and above at 13152-13159 . Monday should bring another test or perhaps a test of support at 12870 . All depends on whether the Market gets fed some doom & gloom or over the rainbow news . Regards, Paddy

Increased volume on lower price action is not good (must be bad) 50 day moving average still pointing down and just too strong for this poor index ~ & indicators are not oversold just yet. Thank goodness as I'm short <15% of my total real portfolio (topped up on friday phew).... DJIA daily: RSI looks to be ready to test sub 30 & CCI sub 200?
Incredible charts DJIAA already achieved the double top target but looks to be targeting 12000 (but could just go lots more)

tryhay : It is going to go a lot lower but there are going to be lots of "rallies" along the way to the bottom. Literally everything is negative but on Monday they'll have to "spin" some sort of rally as it is too soon to scare off the "fish". Regards, Paddy

Hi Paddy yes the market almost never moves in straight lines (particularly not for any length of time), however given the volume/s and previous possible resistance one of them ""spin" some sort of rally " rallys may just be around the corner. Daily chart: none of the indicators looks flash at the moment but watching around here for a bounce (US doesn't have tax loss selling around now but just the "sell in may and go away" slogan ~ is that right paddy?) Not impressed with the bearish flag routine most markets seem to be favouring lately!
if ~11600 don't stop the rot I think it will be most ugly for most (I note RSI is close to the traditional oversold point ~ and why would this time be any different?) (Message edited by tryhay on June 24, 2008)

tryhay : I think you are light on the initial downside . I think that we will see 11524 and then a so-called "counter trend" rally that will essentially go nowhere. I think that the "medusa" H&S [ weekly - better in monthly chart] and the Triangle have yet to be played out . As you wrote : " Sell in May and Go Away". This year come back to a market that is ready for a "nuclear winter". Still a long ways to go. Paddy

You say:"...To me the evidence is so conflicting I have absolutely no idea what will happen!" To solve the conflict you have yet, between a so called NON-EVIDENCE or EVIDENCE, you have: 1) ONLY to look at the chart FOR A MEDIUM TIMEFRAME=5 years, for any title you are interested in, and after this 2) to answer at this very simple question: What kind of moments are we living yet, the better or the worst moments of the evolution we are interested for?????

Kate, But, what i have not told you in December 2006 already, was about: THE MOST PROBABLE INTERVAL FOR THE VARIATIONS=FLUCTUATIONS=OSCILLATIONS AGAINST THE MEAN IN TIME, which i am telling you only yet about it, that: HE IS PROVEN=GIVEN ONLY BY THE WHOLE HISTORY: You cannot ever know THE TRUE LEVEL OF THE MOST PROBABLE UNIT=STANDARD=NORM FOR THE INSTANTANEOUS RISK OF INCREASE AND/OR DECREASE IN TIME (or also called INSTANTANEOUS VOLATILITY) AGAINST THE MEAN IN TIME, if you are looking further: FOR ONLY A VERY SMALL PART OF THE WHOLE TRUTH, like: EVERY "TECHNICAL ANALYST" IS DOING !

Dear "free"masons, or dear Mr. Alan Greenspan, dear Mr. Trichet, dear Mr. Isarescu, What about your assumptions: " It gives not a MATHEMATICAL MODEL for predicting the FUTURE EVOLUTION, and: IT`S ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINATE SUCH A MODEL. Therefore, such A MODEL CAN AND WILL BE NEVER INVENTED " Because nobody can be so clever, to take into consideration=to assume for himself in advance: THE WHOLE UN_CERTAINTY ALSO, instead of THE GIVEN=KNOWN CERTAINTY ONLY !

Ahoy Sea-Cadet Doru This is the time for you to prove to me that you are worthy of an Officership in this modern era What do you say will happen tonite on the DOW given you are all in the know Up/ Down /Sideways Which sectors/classes of sail do you anticipate to do better than the rest tonite This question is not MUMBO-JUMBO It is plain and simple It is merely asking to see if you have any opinion that is worth considering tonite OR Are you just another one of those Greedy Landlubbers filled with HOT Wind vindicated by your excellence 5 years after the fact Salute and Gods' speed

Chaptain_Chazaaaaaaaaa, Do you think i am an idiot like any other hundred of millions of people=GAMBLERS from the entire world, or what ? TO BET MY 10 YEARS LONG WORK=RESEARCH, ON A SINGLE CASINO NUMBER=CARD ??? That means for me: THAT YOU ARE NOT AWARE: ABOUT WHAT THE TRUE=COMMON="ORDINARY"=USUALLY=MOST PROBABLE=PROVEN BY THE WHOLE HISTORY OF EVOLUTION, - AND SIMULTANEOUS AN INSTANTANEOUS ONE=that means to be valid for timeframes with a lenght from one to the other second, till a day to an other - RISK OF INCREASE/DECREASE IN TIME IS MEANING !

Ahoy Doru No! I don't think you are an idiot! But it is Bloody close to what I think! I suppose it all depends on whether you can make a short term reckoning of the situation tonite before the fact or not? Hey? Salute and Gods' speed

Some indicators are telling an interesting story here ~ there could be a short term bounce nearby if the indicators can be believed ..... Daily chart: RSI oversold and coming back (now 24 ~ should now look for divergence here); Price action down with volume increasing; some divergence on MACD histogram & CCI; with possible support looming & possible price targets approaching... Bit more margin selling could be in order..
Happy trading DYOR

Well I guess we have had the short term bounce, and if failed support turns into stiff resistance then the rout is likely soon to continue... DJIA daily chart: Trusting that sale continues a few days more...

Hi CC Yes something is rotten in the state of Denmark (or somewhere close)
captain_chaza wrote on Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 05:33 pm:Does it ever get any better than this?
One could think of it as distressing that world events are combining to support current market action. It is difficult to fathom the hide of the US democracy (particularly the executive priveladge etc.) apparently acting in concert with the rational economic action of the industrial military complex. Some in the US want Bush impeached but I can not see them getting him out until the election ~ he seems busy stiring the pot in black/caspian sea area and continuing to stuff things up in an exemplary manner (if one believes the skuttlebutt indicated below). Another war is just what the US does not need at the moment...... Seems the Middle East is heating up and attracting the attention of the military complex. I am guessing the market index's will soon be lower and the price of oil/Gold will soon be higher. See "Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Russia sent warships from the Black Sea fleet toward Georgia as it stepped up its conflict with the former Soviet republic over the separatist South Ossetia region", and snippets from the BBC and other news services. Map of middle east oil/gas pipelines (perhaps that is what is attracting the hanger oners):
Source: BBQ postings (others too big to post here) Oh yes I just remembered the oil reserves in IRAQ are expected to be greater than those of Sudi Arabia ~ I wonder if the west will ever see them or will they rot in the ground as the instability in the region prevents their exploitation...... If oil and gold go up and XLF goes down the markets will surely follow (lower) IMO (Message edited by tryhay on August 10, 2008)

There has been much ado about (next to) nothing with respect to the various markets "rally/s" recently IMO and I think the latest indu chart together with the VIX support that idea.... The "rally/s" on various markets have been uninspiring to say the least, and GUSTAV & the other cyclone/hurracane may just see to a final push lower on markets before the real rally has more conviction... INDU Chart Looks to have fallen out of bed (the rising wedge) and the 50 D MA is providing the "kiss" as we speak: with the MACDH & Slo Sto divergence not to mention the toy volume providing the signpost/s
VIX Looks like a breakout of the falling wedge with a move back to the 30 area not taking too long IMO.

tryhay : Your 50 D MA is actually the 50 D EMA and is, IMO, not the "kiss". The rise in the Dow [ INDU] was stopped at the Lower Boundary of the TPAW [ Third point Ascending Wedge] . Said boundary was at 11725 yesterday and 11755 today. The boundary is a projected non-horizontal trend line and for next trading session it will be at 11780 with the Upper boundary at 12065.

tryhay: Lighten up . Guess you haven't read any of my other postings re the "TPAW" . Would have thought that it was quite CLEAR that a non-horizontal trend line value would change with time . In this case described each day . I'm from the old school . I learned to do ore reserve calculations without a computer . It was a lot of work but you really thought about what you were doing . For me, same goes with charts. There are some that I draw by hand and it just happens that this INDU chart is one of them . I have attached a chart from another site that depicts the TPAW. I had drawn said pattern before them . I gave it an unique name when I drew it and still refer to it as such. The Lower Boundary of the TPAW has given the recent "rally attempts" the KoD as described by others. Regards and hopefully "clearing" the mud Paddy ----------------The Third Point Ascending Wedge

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh OK then. I do not keep across all the posts on this site (apologise) so it helps if each thread has some integraty of content. I note the patterns change slightly depending on which charting software one uses, & I was not sure if you were suggesting above ( in Post Number: 712) that the dow was marching higher rather than dropping further out of bed... Colin's chart below shows clearly an apparent double backtest of the original wedge support with a possible new support channel (as the wedge has broken and perhaps a channel is being formed). My guess is that if the pink line fails and the MACD stops piddling around the zero line then top up time will be here again...

tryhay : No apologies needed. However easy on those lines on the chart. Are you trying to one up Stoian with his multi-color charts. Now where in hell would you have gotten the idea that, as Rudy coined, the ayudante del Segador Austero, that I would be promoting a "new beginning" for the Dow. Hell there is Still a Long Ways to GO! and that is DOWn. Between the Dow and Oil there will be "dead rat" and "dead cat" bounces as "they" try to manipulate the Markets. Will write more in Way of the Dow. Regards, Paddy

Have a look at Bill Cara's site www.billcara.com for a great read. Last Thursday he rang the bell and says: "I continue to believe the equity market will split the financials from the non-financials, where the non-financials started a new Bull market on Thursday afternoon, but where the financial stocks will only rally for a time before falling again to test the sector bottom." http://www.billcara.com/archives/2008/09/week_in_review_38_20080921_1.html#more He also says the next few years will be much like the period from 1974 through mid-1982. cheers MM

Paddy: Did you check out top two video links from the Related aisle in the You-Tube Congress link above. Cheers, just ice PS Perhaps Congress could also legislate the use of the word "Federal" while they're fixing things and catch up on their country's heritage while at it: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson 's prophecy has now come true and, yet, we act surprised; and, if we are, it is because the corporate controlled media has effectively misled Americans about the cause of their problems. http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article6412.html (Message edited by justice on September 27, 2008)

Justice : You posted wrong chart - no big deal as the $BDI is just a big downhill ski-slope. What is important is that the BCI may drop down to an estimated level of 3074 . This is taking a report that stated that the BCI would drop another 50% before there was any support. That equates to a DSR rate of $31050 . Todays "rally" was another "hope" rally . Yes there will probably be a continuation of the absurdity on Monday. Going to be one fine drop when reality sets in. I didn't know that a Bear Market could end as the global economy is SLOWING down as shown by the BCI / BDI indices. The BCI accounts for 62% of the global seaborne cargo. Things like layoffs , cutting earnings projections , etc have taken a back seat to the " Mother of All Mothers" bailout by Momma . Won't cost much really - ONLY $250 billion upfront. Who are they kidding? There will be more layoffs, earnings reduction estimates. Get those block buster bombs over to Israel ASAP . Like airlift them and give the world a diversion from this "inside robbery" by the banks,financial and mortgage companies. Regards, Paddy

Some other indicators looking divergent as well - interesting times I'm sure

Point made ice, but these markets are being manipulated by hedge funds big time and there for the news release is too late (already priced in) and the commodities price is just as easily moved higher as lower (eternal cynic) Having said that I ain't got big long positions but am ready to top up in the event it is appropriate....

stoin; I tried doing that. Apparently the sheeple haven't been the recipients of the helicopter loads of RESCUE green-backs that have been INJECTED into the SYSTEM yet and there is still plenty left to steal into the elite coffers at rock bottom prices before the inflation/stagflation deamon is again dramatically unveiled at some public ceremony directly following shorty after NOV 4 or otherwise DEC31 at best GUESS. Regards, just ice +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PS Everything's back to front for me today. I'll be quiet from now on. You actually meant LONG USD not LONG EUR. That I understand.

Factoring in the expected Fed Rate Cut (%?) end of month... anything could happen INCLUDING the expected.

I can remember heated arguments on this forum (from ~2005 and before) about whether the market was in-fact in downtrend or uptrend, I have a better understanding of the subtlties of this discourse. Each of us has a different timeframe and paradigm that suits our own trading style; from my perspective the primary trend in our market/s is still down with current consolidation forming a bear flag (could very well breakdown or provide the bounce that some are suggesting after late last week's "shakeout" move on the Dow...). By definition some of the equities that make up the index will be in short term up trend or downtrend whilst the index is going in one or other directions. The indicators suggest the following to me about the direction of these indexes, and so the ultimate direction of most of our shares.... * The dow looks rangebound and like it could be about to change the trend (but not so convincing IMO).
* The SPX looks rangebound and to have confirmed the continued downtrend
* The all ords looks rangebound and to have confirmed the downtrend
Some might think it is too simplistic to look for red line being over the the green line (with confirmation of the other indicators) but if you had cared to follow it in the last 6 months you would not have gone too far wrong. Nevertheless, you are welcome to come to your own conclusions.. PS the banks are all looking pretty sick at the moment ~ several more $B writedowns look to be on the cards (both here and the US)

Hi Tryhay, I notice an extremely small volume for the last candle for the DOW on your chart compared for a large volume on the S&P500 for the same day. I wonder if that volume is wrong and it triggered a false signal on your lower indicator for the DOW. In my IC charting software I get a similar volume for both indices.

The ongoing discussion on the forum relating to metrics will never satisfactorilly be resolved, because the time of measurement is not fixed (some trades occur after closing and some are not captured in reported data). The data provider for the above posted chart/s provides rubbery figures until they run the "frequency modulator" (seems to be at a time after close that suits them). The chart below shows the currently reported volume data ~ significantly higher than that originally reported. More importantly the Aroon is supposed to capture changes in trend (Developed by Tushar Chande in 1995 meaning "Dawn's Early Light"), and a valid change in trend results in the red or green line bouncing from the negative to positive area of the chart. See here for detail <http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:technical_indicators:aroon#aroon_oscillator> The SPX & AORD look to be confirming downtrend and the INDU has provided a false indication IMO of uptrend ~ Santa clause rally may not be going to appear shortly (will be the second time in two years we have not had a "real" christmas rally). I seem to remember Colin is considering adopting Aroon in IC... Current DOW chart:
I got a feeling the G20 participants would rather have not been made aware of current events in world economy ~ looking for more volatility this week.... Wonder what new provisions our banks will disclose when caught between rock & hard place.... Cheers

Hi Tryhay, I was only discussing that particular charting company yesterday with another trader. I wonder about the accuracy of its data. For example on the 10 October 2008 they show (in your chart) a low of 7773.71 and yet all other providers that I am aware of including IC has a low of 7882.5 for that day. That and the recent volume discrepancy gives me an uneasy feeling about the accuracy of their data at times.

I get the impression that is why Colin does not favour the use of other charting packages on this forum (unless one removes the trademark name off the chart). I guess it cuts out some of the agro...... I see the DJIA INDEX is up ~ 62 points ATM - perhaps we are in for a itti bittie bounce around here...(if it don't then we are currently below support!)

Hi Rudy, The 7773.71 figure is in IC as well - its the DJIA_in rather than the DJIAA_in we all use.

Hi Ken, Where do I find the DJIA_in and in what exchange is it found? I've done a few searches but with no luck. Aside from occasionally having slightly different daily bar values what is the difference between the two indices and when do they use one in preference to the other?

Hi Ken, Don't worry about my question in the previous post. I have just found the other Dow chart. For those who are interested the difference between the two indices is that the DJIAA_in is the Dow Jones Industrial Average Actual and the DJIA_in is the Dow Jone Industrial Average Theoretical. The difference between the two indices is explained in the following paragraphs: The DJIA_in uses a method of calculating a Dow Jones index that assumes all index components hit their high or low at the same time during the day. The "theoretical Dow" uses the daily highs for all 30 Dow components to calculate the index high, and the lows to calculate the index low. In January of 1992, Dow Jones started using the "actual" method, which calculates the index at 10-second intervals throughout the day. Before this point, the theoretical calculation was the only way to compute the high and low of the index. This method assumes that all stocks hit their high or low at the same time. Because this rarely happens, the theoretical high will almost always be higher than the actual, and the theoretical low will almost always be lower than the actual.
