Topic: MACD Divergence Question
Posted: Saturday, September 12, 2009 3:52:53 PM
After doing some research, I see that either the histogram or the MACD lines can be used. From what I've read, the histogram was added to MACD to make crossovers easier to see, so prior to the inclusion of the histogram, the MACD line itself was used for spotting divergences with price. I also found out that some traders, look at divergences between the histogram and MACD, in order to anticipate a turn in the MACD line, while others, like Dr. Elder, began to use the histogram to spot divergences with price.

Hello,
I have a question regarding comparing divergences between peaks in price and peaks in MACD: when MACD is plotted with a histogram, is the proper technique to use the peaks of the histogram or the peaks of the line representing the difference of the moving averages as the point of comparison to price?

Thanking you in advance.
Topic: Sort by Money Stream Change over a Given Period
Posted: Friday, January 9, 2009 7:45:35 PM
Hi,

I'd like to set up a sort so that I can rank items in a watchlist by the percent change in Money Stream over a period of time, since the first of the year, for example. I understand how to sort by Money Stream, just not sure about how to incororate the change over a period of time part.

Thanks,

Topic: SKF

Based on today's trading, SKF's movement is no longer inversely correlated with UYG on a 1 to 1 basis.

Went to the proshares website to see how the new rules against shorting will affect SKF, the Ultra Short ETF they manage. Trading had been halted for a period Friday morning and later resumed. 

This is what proshares had by means of explanation:

Bethesda, MD, September 19, 2008 – Due to the emergency action announced by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2008, temporarily prohibiting short sales of shares of certain financial companies, Short Financials ProShares (SEF) and UltraShort Financials ProShares (SKF) are not expected to accept orders from Authorized Participants to create shares until further notice.  Unless notified otherwise, shares will be available for redemption by Authorized Participants as normal. The shares of these ProShares are expected to trade in the financial markets today, but may trade at prices that are not in line with their intraday indicative values.

My understanding is that SKF doesn't short shares directly , it does so through derivative positions, and so, I believe SKF will be a way to initiate a short position for those who want one. However, I'm not fully clear on how the SEC rule against will affect this ETF and proshares didn't offer much in their explanation. Anyone have a clear understanding or link to an explanation of how SKF will be affected?

Thanks,

Thanks, Jim Murphy. That makes sense. I guess I'll try 

H1 = MAXH60

and see how that works.

amberpax,

I think what you wrote would be to find the high within the past 5 days which is greater than the close of the past 60. I'm looking for the high of the past 5 days which is greater than the high of the past 60.

This should be a simple thing to do, but I'm not getting the hang of it. I want to write a PCF for the prior day's high being the highest high of the past 60 days. Wouldn't that be:

H1 > MAXH60?

and to determine if any one of the past 5 trading day highs is the highest high of the past 60 days, would that be:

MAXH5 > MAXH60?

or is it

H > MAXH60 OR H1 > MAXH60 OR H2 > MAXH60 OR H3 > MAXH60 OR H4 > MAXH60 OR H5 > MAXH60

Thanks in advance.
