Just to add to, and correct your fantastic volume-discussion
Most indexes are weighted price levels, therefore just adding up the
volumes of its underlying securities is NOT representative for the
index's moves. Adding them up and dividing the outcome with the
amount of securities neither.
Use of both price and volume at the same time must be re-counted
towards the index's underlay. If one company weighs for 10% in the Index,
then 10% of its volume or turnover counts, not the other 90%.
Send in your, and all other Listers should join, request to your favourite
Exchange, they are the ones making up their indexes and therfore
responsible to provide its custumors with correct information data.
What if we were to just make up the Open,Highs,Lows,Closes
and Open Intrests?
Will we then be able to recognise Island Reversals and other patterns?

Ton Maas.
