Subject: [Metastockusers] A Question for Roy's Newsletter Readers
You don't need to do any of that, Andy.
The information is already there. When the SPY buy signal is generated you
simply look at the ETFs sectors that are creating the movement. Same for
NASDAQ. If you want to get really technical about it, there's a simple
exploration technique using the relative strength comparator formula which
ranks the ETFs in relation to the SPY or QQQQ, when the movement is taking
place. That formula is explained in the newsletter.
Basically that's all you need. Everything else is price action.
Using Roy's formula to figure out how many of the stocks that make up an
individual ETF are advancing and declining won't work because the stocks
that make up an ETF or not equally weighted. The formula can't account for
weighting.
