I am creating this topic to discuss what people use to determine Market Direction. All feedback, example and questions welcome. Maybe we can simpify to the lowest common denominator to help all.

I look at weekly stochastics, volume and of course price.  For market direction I check DIA, SPY, XLF, IWM and SMH.  When they are all moving the same direction I will buy stocks if the weekly stochastic is moving up and the price and volume show strong buying.

Wow I had to use Firefox to get this loaded after a week of fighting with Edge and Chrome.

Here is one of my sscreens I look at that gives me a breath and reversion(Oversold, overbought)

Here is my basic Index screen I use for S&P, QQQ, IWM,VTI.

I split screen for weekly and daily to provide direction(Trend or consolidation)

On the daily chart I am playng with connersRSI, Price distance between the 20 and 50dma - not really using this yet. I would like to add an overbought over sold indicator to my screen oon daily. Still working that.
