How to Increase Traders Index (TRIN) Predictive Power by Combining with High-Low Index


Dear readers,

          Have you read the following article: http://top5indicators.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-interpret-predictive-power-of.html? If so, you have good understanding about the predictive power of the TRIN.
Moreover, when the TRIN is combined with a High-Low Index, it can work more effectively.  The High-Low Index (HL Index) is computed as the number of stocks with new 52-week highs, divided by the total number of stocks reaching either a new 52-week high or a new 52-week low. 

TRIN
HL Index
Market Movement
Oversold
New Low
More likely to continue the downtrend
Oversold
HL stabilizes or trends up
Bottom is likely in sight
Overbought
New High
More likely to continue the uptrend
Overbought
HL drifts to lower level
Possible topping is in process

Combined TRIN and HL Index Power to Foretell the Near Term Market Movement

          The above table discloses relationship between the TRIN reading and the HL index, can be used to foresee the future market movement.  When the TRIN enters the oversold territory, and the HL index reaches the new low, this would confirm the likelihood of a continuous downtrend for the stock market. Otherwise, if the HL index provides stabilization evidence, the market would stop bleeding and establish a bottom. 
          On the other hand, if the TRIN claims the overbought condition, in the meanwhile, the HL index provides a confirmation by reaching the new high, the market is more likely to continue the uptrend, and traders can attain more profit.  However, if the HL does not cooperate well, the market might be in the topping process. Traders should be alert regarding a possible market reversal.

Thanks for your visiting and reading.

Have a great day!
