Re: Data CD rom

["Jan Diederik" <jddehaas@xxxxxxx>]

I searched on the Equis site for IRL and it does seem like a very good
program. The only problem is that it is too expensive for me now. I am a
student and therefore don't have a lot of money to invest. I find it strange
that Relative Strength wasn't a part of MS6.0. What I have learned about TA
is that you should use a topdown approach. First the whole market (index)
then the sector and then an individual stock. Very strange that users of MS
have to use a separate program to accomplice that.

I know that by using the method you describe you can calculate a volume for
every index you like. But I assumed that for the DJIA it was always
available, also on the CD. Now I have prices back to 1992 but only volumes
starting april 1997. My data provider (OASE in the Netherlands) gives me the
volumes since I am with them. Can the NYSE volume be found on the Data CD?
The volume I have for 980220 is 5974400.

I use IRL program to generate indices with volume. This program is offered
by Equis who acts as a retailer for the source. The volume generated is the
sum of the individual stock volumes. For instance the DJ index is made up of
30 stocks and their accumulated volume. To keep this data up to date one
needs this program or another source. I do not know of another source.

I have heard others say that they use the total NYSE volume as a substitute.
What kind of data are you using now? Where did you get it? You may wish to
check it against the NYSE volume to use if that is the volume you have been
using.

I have copied some data from de Data CD but I noticed that for the DJIA
there is no volume. I know that the other indices mostly don't have volumes
(published), but from my data provider I do get the volumes. Isn't there
volume on the DJIA or don't I know where to look.
