Mixed bag today, even after FTSE's gains...keep your eyes on the bottom charts.Friday's turnround proved to be good for today...

chart interpretation

Chartman
I've never seen a chart like this. How do I read it?

Neil
 
This is a custom chart I have designed in EXCEL. It takes all the stocks in my UK database and calculates how many went up or down by more than 5% today, and how many closed within 1% of their high or low of the day. Then I plot these numbers as red and yellow lines to get an easy visualisation.
 
Moving on up and the main strength indicator- those stocks closing at or near their HOD (within 1%) has crossed the zero line,and the 5% line will probably go tomorrow.

Well, it didn't. All in all, the charts and graphs are becoming choppy....How on earth can anyone trade this?

Could be getting better. The FTSE has bounced nicely of it's uptrend support and should head off to 5400 level, having made a double bottom at the 5040 level.. My depth graph is showing higer lows too...I guess the next week is going to be a bit of a dis-jointed affair,although I remember seeing some excellent gains over the Xmas period last year...
