FWIW, speaking of time scales, 15 minute breadth based trend filtered 
systems I use have been short, then long, then short again, and are 
now flat. All since 9-19....of course shorter time frames have flipped
around even more.

I didn't read anyone saying that one day flips on the A-D make or 
break the market, and I agree the A-D line has NOT confirmed a top, 
but there are bearish breadth divergences based on weeks and even 
months of A-D data. That said, divergences (A-D or otherwise) get 
blown away all the time: they are valuable as a heads up, not as a 
stand alone method.
