Re: TRIN / TICK

Most data feeds have a symbol for TRIN. It should work fine for the S&P
futures with no calcs required. 

TRIN doesn't have any meaning if you only use the data from a single
stock as TRIN is a measure of market breadth. Using a single stock's
numbers, all the issues (1) would either be advancing or declining and
all the volume would either be up or down. The formula:

(Advancing issues/declining issues)/(advancing volume/declining volume)

would give you a divide by zero error because one of the issues and one
of the volumes would be zero.
