When following Sir Methodical’s TSV usage ( 12/21/05) I did not find the correlations that he refers to.

For example: he states “...From June 27 to July 5, CRDN’s price jumped 30% with volume 2-4 times normal. As this occurred, TSV stepped up from slightly negative to very positive. Twelve days later this action was moving out of the time range for TSV12 and volume was dropping. TSV12 dropped steeply (which is normal). With its greater smoothing ability, TSV20 continued to rise."

In my screen, all the TSVs move in unison. There are no noticeable differences that relate to the description above. I have tried at different zoom levels and time frames and the results are similar. I included TSV30 with same results. Maybe you can identify where I may be at fault!

Thanks for looking into this matter.

Best regards,

Tony

I have a feeling you are using an exponential averaging. If you use simple for your TSVs you will see what he is talking about.

I figured he was using a simple average on his TSV when he said:
"Twelve days later this action was moving out of the time range for TSV12 and volume was dropping"

You were right! I never thought about this aspect, as I use exponentials in everything. Now, I've learnt something for future use.

Thanks!!
