I will take your word that Fire is a good program for its own purposes.
Indexes and ETFs, however, are a different beast entirely. It just makes
sense to me though that if I am going to take the time to do composite /
breadth analysis, I would prefer to wind up with something I can trade
easily with a lot of liquidity. ETFs are one of the fastest growing
segments of the investment market for good reason.
Now I am off to Disneyland (really) with the family for the weekend.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] Advancing Declining issues and Coding
As Colin said Fire does a good job calculating a lot of custom breadth
data. It also does the external relative strength comparative which
compares the previous strength of every stock you pick to every other
stock on your list, or an index. ERSC is a very strong trading filter.
Fire is a good program. Well, worth the money.
There's a dll that is available. I think it's GV.dll or something like
that. I have it somewhere. I don't use it much, but it can be setup to
count, but it has to be reset everyday. Even with the count you would
have to do a lot of hand work and then input that back into an MS file
everyday in order to plot the advancing declining issues. It's not
worth the effort. Roy can explain the dll and how to use it, if he has
time.
Depending on your data source you can just plot the ratio of $adv and
$dec. It's just as accurate as your count but it's based on the NYSE.
The NYSE new highs and new lows is also in the reuters and esignal
data. It's a bit better as a breadth indicator.
Fire allows you to make the same kinds of breadth indicators out of
any history file you want to use so you can have custom indexes,
custom breadth plots and custom external relative strength.
