[RT] Momentum

Dear Dom,

The Market Momentum is what I have been using and I had wanted to 
know what data feeds to obtain to calculate it within the system. It 
is definitely not the standard Momentum as defined and sounds 
secretive. The nice thing about the site is that it updates on a 10 
min. basis as I recall. Worst case scenario if it continues as a 
decent screen, it is easily accessable.

It seems that what they are doing is proprietary. I e-mailed them 
anyway to see if they would release further details on it gratis or 
for a price.

If there is any further interest in this Market Momentum, let me know 
privately and I will let you know what I find out, if anything.

Thanks,

John

I copied this from their site:

Momentum

Market Momentum is an overview of the stock market. Momentum lists
selected major market indices and market rates as well as a market
momentum summary box.

The momentum summary box contains a table of the number of stocks
whose price has increased and decreased and the percentage of stocks
above their 20, 50, 100, 150 and 200-Day moving average, today,
yesterday, last week and last month.

Momentum also lists the number of NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX stocks who
have advanced and declined for the day with the volume of shares
traded, as well as the number of new 52 week high and low stocks for
each of the exchanges.
